ICYMI: When Not to Use Generative AI

GARTNER
About this episode

As we continue to incorporate AI into our own work, it's worth considering when GenAI is not appropriate — and in those situations, which, if any, other AI techniques are.

In this episode, Gartner Senior Director Analyst Leinar Ramos, whose work focuses on artificial intelligence, explains that generative AI is not the silver bullet it's often made out to be. While indeed game-changing, GenAI is only one aspect of a much larger and more fruitful AI landscape.

This episode originally aired in June 2024.
