IA Summit 2024: Searching for Answers — The New Era of Enterprise Productivity

From real-life success stories to the challenges of building trust and integrating AI into everyday workflows, this session provided a no-nonsense look at what AI can — and can't—do for your business today.

AI’s Early Impact on Enterprise Productivity: The panel explored how AI is already saving time across industries, with specific examples of how companies like Glean are improving case resolution times and Luminance is automating legal processes. However, there’s a consensus that while productivity gains are real, we are only scratching the surface of AI's potential.

Building Trust and Adoption in AI: Trust remains a key challenge, especially in high-stakes environments like legal and enterprise settings. The panelists emphasized the importance of transparency and gradual adoption, where AI acknowledges uncertainty and users are given time to build confidence in its outputs.

AI’s Role in Workforce Transformation, Not Replacement: While AI is driving efficiencies, the panelists agreed that rather than replacing workers, AI will transform roles, enabling people to focus on higher-value tasks. They predict that AI will create new opportunities, shifting how we define productivity and work.
