Most CIOs have begun exploring generative AI to make sure they stay relevant. But many are finding that the technology on the market doesn’t yet live up to the hype. “After experimenting with both GitHub copilot and ChatGPT for over six months, I’m amazed by the pace at which generative AI is evolving,” says Yves Caseau, global CIO of Michelin. “But in its current state, it’s just a toolbox.”
There’s indeed a lot of hype around the latest wave of large language models (LLM) and associated tools, yet beneath the noise, there’s a whisper about how the technology will one day become indispensable. “Once it’s matured, generative AI will perform many of our mundane tasks — and this will free us to focus on new things,” says Caseau.
