1、High techs Gen AI opportunityLearn and lead at the same time.Even as high tech companies adopt Gen AI technologies to increase efficiency and fuel creativity within their own organizations,they must alsosimultaneouslyenable customers Gen AI experiences and drive new revenue creation.Accomplishing th
2、ese goals wont be easy.Accentures point of view offers a high-level guide for companies on this journey.2High techs Gen AI opportunityIn March 2023,Accenture published a report called“A new era of generative AI for everyone.”1 In it,we noted that ChatGPT,which reached 100 million monthly active user
3、s just two months after launch,was the fastest-growing consumer application in history.2 Moreover,our research found that 40%of all working hours could be impacted by Large Language Models(LLMs).3 Since then,the pace at which businesses have started to explore Gen AI has surpassed even the most opti
4、mistic expectations.For example,more recent Accenture research has found that 73%of high tech CxOs are interested in exploring the potential use of applications like ChatGPT for tasks such as natural language processing,text generation and customer service automation.4 Most,if not all,business leade
5、rs are either investing in Gen AI or considering its potential to enhance or transform ways in which their companies work and innovate.of our largest 300 clients are applying Gen AI in some capacity.However,they understand that scaling will be a problem that transcends the technology itself and requ

7、tions,including finances,supply chains,manufacturing,customer success and talent.Yet,high tech companies will also supply the means to enable this technology.High tech offeringsin the form of semiconductors,smartphones,PCs,high-end medical equipment,servers or other enterprise productsare the founda
8、tion for customers across industries accessing the potential of this new technology.How high tech companies embed Gen AI in their products and solutions will direct how it is used by companies in other industries.Ultimately,high tech companies must learn and lead at the same time.Each step they take
9、 as Gen AI adopters will increase their ability to enable Gen AI transformation across all industries through their products.And vice versa.How well they fulfill the roles of adopter and enabler will have far-reaching effectson their own employees,on their customers and,ultimately,on end-users.Learn
10、 and lead in the Gen AI transformationHow high tech companies embed Gen AI into their products and solutions will direct how it is used by companies in other industries.4High techs Gen AI opportunityAdopting Gen AI a catalyst for change“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”Its well-known as a
11、n inspirational quote;it should also become the mantra for high tech companies as they adopt Gen AI.5High techs Gen AI opportunityLeaders in high tech are already aware of market shifts pointing to a need to enhance their customers experiences through as-a-Service(aaS)offerings.These offerings lower
12、 the barrier to entry and deliver stable sources of recurring revenue.Their design also allows for more proactive and personalized customer engagement.Building an organization to deliver on these offerings is not easy,and many high tech companies have not yet made the organizational changes necessar
13、y to respond to these market shifts.Gen AI could be the game changer here.Intelligent adoption of Gen AI capabilities across the organization can supercharge the shift towards building for aaS offerings.It works at the nexus of hardware and software to build out capabilities at speed.It allows R&D t
14、eams,for example,to capture deep customer insights,quickly iterate prototypes and improve product quality.It delivers deeper product usage insight and advice,enabling a customer success model for working with clients by proactively handing issues.It can connect across multiple data sets to mitigate
15、supply chain risks and drive impactful and personalized marketing communications.These create a conducive environment to offer higher risk/reward models and take complications of managing platforms away from their customersall at a reasonable price,with greater reliability and higher margins.Put ano
16、ther way,Gen AI technology is a spark that can set off powerful organizational change.A high tech companys effective use of Gen AI today makes it a“poster child”for the vision of what its products can enable for other companies.What might this look like in practice?It could be as straightforward as
17、investing in Gen AI infrastructure inside of their organizations to accelerate the work they do today(say,improving their capacity to develop software).Data scientists and AI practitioners already spend over three-quarters(77%)of their time on data pre-prep,training,modeling and tuning,tasks that re
18、quire huge amounts of GPUs,memory and power.5 An upfront investment in this essential infrastructure can deliver significant cost savings and revenue growth over time.The cash infusion companies could experience may be used as support for long-term strategies to get closer to customers.It could also
19、 be as interesting as using Gen AI-enabled services to aid in launching a new product or service,by bridging interconnected and cross-functional roles,people(R&D,sales,marketing,customers,service)and responsibilities.Gen AI is a game changer that can supercharge the shift towards building for aaS of

21、s putting the people first.That means designing Gen AI solutions for the organization with continuous input from the people who will be using them,ensuring the technology reflects and enables peoples ingenuity while making space for mistakes and for learning.It means designing for accessibility to h
22、elp all employees contribute to their full potential.7 And,finally,it means calibrating trust,so that everyone has the confidence to use Gen AI without fear.The combination of diverse users nuanced and creative perspectives will serve to improve the technologys interface.Bottom line:adopting Gen AI

30、 become a successful enabler of Gen AI technology,high tech companies cannot do it alone:they need an ecosystem-based approach.Reliably developing Gen AI offerings is a challenge.Difficulties in finding funding,accessing raw material,building infrastructure and more make it difficultand riskyfor any
31、 one company to move on its own.By building out an intentional ecosystem,companies can leverage their strengths and hedge against risks,while still bringing tailored solutions to customers faster and at scale.The ecosystem solution facilitates and accelerates collaboration among partners,including c
32、hip makers,fabs,server/network providers and co-location centers.Consider what a developer community might need to build solutions that are hardware agnostic and offer cost-effectiveness from the outset.The UXL Foundation(Intel,Qualcomm,Google and others)has addressed that need with an open ecosyste
33、m assembled to accelerate AI workloads with an abstraction layer that enables developers to build transferable solutions across hardware architectures.8 By contrast,the risks of going alone can be enormous.Think back to the telcos that spent more than$500 billion building broadband networks from 199
34、6 to 2002.9 With the internet still in its infancy,demand grew slowly and they had no way to recoup their investments.The result was$2 trillion in losses to shareholders,thousands of workers laid off and several major bankruptcies.10 Roll on a few years and many software and platforms companies took
35、 advantage of that excess and unused capacity,reaping profits in the process.High tech companies cannot go it alone:they need an ecosystem-based approach.10High techs Gen AI opportunityTo lead an ecosystem solution requires thinking about who needs to come with youand about who will come along after
36、 you.Strong,equitable ecosystem management and governance from the start,led by high tech players,is essential,bearing in mind that the winning solution may even require ecosystem players to disaggregate their products and services to work effectively with partners.The accompanying chart shows the k
37、ey elements of an ecosystem along the development of a Gen AI capability,showing why going alone isnt a financially or commercially viable option.As the figure shows,there are still relatively high barriers to entry if a company wants to go at it alone.Some entry points are still too costly or scarc
38、e.Others demand huge amounts of capitalassuming the pieces are producedin terms of dollars and time.An ecosystem approach offsets both barriers and costs.Building a strong ecosystem around Gen AI offerings is about developing a long-term vision for this technology.11High techs Gen AI opportunityFund
39、ingSilicon Servers Foundation Models ApplicationsThere are high barriers to entry if a company is going at it alone.Some entry points are still costly or scarce.An ecosystem approach offsets both barriers and costs.VC Gen AI deals declined 29%q/q but ended higher at$6.1B due to Amazons almost$4B dea
40、l with Anthropic.11Big tech companies committed to invest in AI.15Gen AI continues to see investment as VC and PE dry powder is worth trillions of dollars in the aggregate(theres money on the table).Chip shortages are producing winners and losers in the AI gold rush(“Magnificent 7”vs academia).To of
41、fset the chip shortage,semiconductor companies can focus on innovative packaging while promoting accessibility.Microsoft has committed to invest$13B in OpenAI.12Server shipments are falling while cloud demand is rising as AI costs are delaying server refresh cycles.13Forecasts for data-center server
42、 growth far exceed any that occurred during the rise of the internet but cannibalization may occur.16 The massive power outlay creates an opportunity to explore new ways to power data centers;renewables and ESG is a win-win for all parties.AH estimates for a GPT-3 single run training cost ranges fro
43、m$500K to$4.6M depending on hardware assumptions.14 GPT-4 is the new space race.The“real”AI brick wall is inference.The goal is to decouple training compute from inference compute.17 Infrastructure challenges creates an opening to invest in research with smaller partners(academia,startups)to make ou
44、tcomes practical.The infrastructure costs for Gen AI chat bots can be billions of dollars for hyperscalers.The margins for AI applications are significantly smaller than other SaaS solutions.18To explore new applications,high tech companies should develop consortiums that can help lower the barriers
45、 to entry for enterprises.The ecosystem advantage:key elements Source:Accenture Research12High techs Gen AI opportunityHigh tech ecosystems are already forming Were already seeing high tech companies bringing together the type of ecosystems that will be vital in a Gen AI world.Consider the way Lenov
46、o has expanded the availability of its AI-ready smart devices and edge-to-cloud infrastructure to include new platforms purpose-built for enabling AI workloads.19 Or NVIDIAs AI Workbench,which allows developers to quickly create,test and customize pretrained Gen AI models in just a few clicks and th
47、en scale them to virtually any data center,public cloud or NVIDIA DGX Cloud.20 In another example,Intel collaborated with Accenture to build downloadable AI reference kits to the open source community.21 The goal is to help enterprises accelerate their AI deployments in areas like image and voice ge
48、neration and natural language semantic searchwhile potentially reducing running costs.Or HPE,which is broadening its GreenLake portfolio,partnering with the German AI company Aleph Alpha to offer GreenLake for large language models.Customers can build their own AI models using their own data,without
49、 paying for or renting the supercomputers needed because the offering runs on HPEs own Cray XD supercomputers,which have an AI-native architecture.22According to Accentures Tech Vision 2023 report,97%of global executives agree that AI foundational models will enable connections across data types,rev
50、olutionizing where and how AI is used,and 98%agree that AI foundation models will play an important role in their organizations strategies in the next three to five years.2313High techs Gen AI opportunityFive fundamentals of Generative AIAs our clients embark on their generative AI reinvention,there
51、 are five key imperatives that they need to invest in.These are key to driving success.Reinvent talent and ways of working Adapt operating models for new ways ofworking.Cultivate a corporate culture thatplaces talent development at the forefront.Commit to continuous learning and skillingto maximize
52、the potential of AIespeciallybecause of the changes that happen rapidlywith the technology.Close the gap on responsible AI Develop and integrate a strategy for responsibleAI that brings intentional actions to design,deploy,and use AI to drive value whileprotecting from the risks of AI.This includes
53、the strategy and developmentof responsible AI monitoring and compliance,as well as employing AI security into theirentire value chain.Understand and develop an AI-enabled secure digital core Data is for AI,therefore enabling a moderndata platform is very important.Re-architecting applications to be
54、AI-readyis also critical,with a flexible architecture thatallows you to access to a range of models inpartnership with the ecosystem.We build thiswith security as a foundational element.Drive continuous reinvention Embrace a modular,step-by-step approachto innovation that spans multiple years.Cultiv
55、ate a corporate culture that viewscontinuous reinvention not just as a strategy,but as a core competency.Gen AI led reinvention journeys are complexand multi-year in nature.Companies need tobe prepared to allocate the capital,time andtalent for the journey.Lead with value Shift the focus from siloed
56、 use-cases toprioritizing business capabilities acrossthe entire value chain based on return oninvestment.Clients need to be value-led inevery business capability that they chooseto reinvent with Gen AI.We recommend companies pursueinvestments in two categories:Table stakesinvestments that offer rad
57、ical efficiency(but will also soon become the new industrystandard way of operating)and strategicbets that offer truly novel advantage.14High techs Gen AI opportunityLeading the Gen AI revolutionBy embracing Gen AI as adopters and enablers with thoughtfulness and intention,high tech companies will h
58、ave the power to revolutionize not only their own operations but also the lives of their customers and the consumers they serve.They will become the driving force behind the future of AI and the global compute infrastructure that supports it.In doing so,they will position themselves as indispensable
59、 players in the most significant technological revolution since the advent of the Internet.Gartner found by 2026,more than 80%of enterprises will have used generative artificial intelligence(GenAI)application programming interfaces(APIs)or models,and/or deployed GenAI-enabled applications in product
60、ion environments,up from less than 5%in 2023.24Intels CEO,Pat Gelsinger,has called the converged world of smart connected devices and human experience in which we live and work today the“siliconomy.”25 Now,with the incredible advances were seeing in LLMs and in Gen AI more generally the siliconomy i
61、s entering a new era.Its set to power an exponential leap forward in growth and productivity.High tech companies have an unprecedented opportunityand an existential responsibilityas part of this Gen AI revolution.Leading in Gen AI means walking joyfully into an unknown future.Success will require a
62、deliberate and dedicated strategy,built on this continual process of adoption and enablement,to come out ahead.We believe that high tech industry is ready to take those steps.After all,theyre the very foundation of Gen AI.And the siliconomy itself.15High techs Gen AI opportunity1.Accenture,“A new er
