How to Leverage Generative AI Automation for Business Growth

Business automation is essential for surviving and thriving in today's challenging economic climate. Yet, many organizations still struggle to successfully implement automation into their operations despite the clear benefits of automating repetitive business tasks—such as improving productivity, reducing operational costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Experts say this is often due to lacking resources, skills, and time. This is where generative AI automation can help.

Lamatic's managed generative AI tech stack combines AI tools to help organizations accelerate business automation processes.

What Is Generative AI?

What is Gen AI - Generative AI Automation

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can create new content, ideas, or solutions, such as:

Text
Images
Code

Instead of analyzing or predicting existing data, generative AI systems pick up patterns from existing data and use them to produce original outputs. For example, a generative AI system trained on ex

Generative AI is a specialized field within artificial intelligence dedicated to creating fresh and innovative content, designs, or solutions that closely resemble what humans can produce. It goes beyond traditional AI techniques that primarily involve classification or prediction. Training models are required to learn patterns and structures from existing data and then use that knowledge to create new, original outputs.

What Are Generative Models?

Generative models sit at the core of generative AI. These models learn patterns, structures, and representations from existing data and then create new samples that align with the learned characteristics. Generative models can capture the underlying distribution of the training data, allowing them to develop novel and realistic outputs.

Several types of generative models are used in generative AI. Here are some of the commonly employed ones:

Generator: Generates new samples
Discriminator: Tries to distinguish between real and generated samples.

Through adversarial training, GANs learn to produce increasingly difficult outputs for the discriminator to differentiate from real data.

What Are Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)?

VAEs are generative models that learn a latent space representation of the input data. They are comprised of two essential components:

Encoder Network: Takes the input data and transforms it into a compressed representation known as the latent space
Decoder Network: Correcting the original input data from the information stored in the latent space.

VAEs can generate new samples by sampling from the latent space and decoding the samples into the original data domain.

What Are Autoencoders?

Autoencoders are neural networks that learn to reconstruct their input data. They consist of an encoder that compresses the input data into a lower-dimensional latent space and a decoder that reconstructs the original input from the latent space. By sampling from the latent space, autoencoders can generate new samples similar to the input data.

What Are Transformer-Based Models?

Transformers have gained popularity in natural language processing tasks, including generative models. Transformers use a self-attention mechanism to capture dependencies between input elements. They have been used in models like OpenAI’s GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series, which can generate coherent and contextually relevant text.

What Are Deep Belief Networks (DBNs)?

DBNs are generative models with multiple Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) layers. They are unsupervised learning models that can learn a probability distribution over the input data. DBNs can generate new samples by sampling from the learned distribution.

What Are Hierarchical Models?

Hierarchical generative models incorporate a hierarchical structure to capture complex dependencies in the data. Examples include:

Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP)
Hierarchical Gaussian Mixture Models (HGMM)

These models help generate outputs that exhibit hierarchical structures, such as documents with multiple topics or images with different objects.

What Are Flow-Based Models?

Flow-based models learn an invertible mapping between the input data and a latent space. These models can generate new samples by sampling from the latent space and inverting the mapping. Flow-based models are known for their ability to create high-quality samples and have been applied in areas such as image generation.

The Economic Potential of Generative AI

Economic Potential - Generative AI Automation

Generative AI's impact on productivity could add trillions of dollars to the global economy. McKinsey's latest research estimates that generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across the 63 use cases we analyzed—by comparison, the United Kingdom’s entire GDP in 2021 was $3.1 trillion.

This would increase the impact of all artificial intelligence by 15 to 40 percent. This estimate would double if we included the effect of embedding generative AI into software currently used for tasks beyond those use cases.

About 75 percent of the value that generative AI use cases could deliver falls across four areas:

Customer operations
Marketing and sales
Software engineering
R&D

Across 16 business functions, we examined 63 use cases in which the technology can address specific business challenges in ways that produce one or more measurable outcomes. Examples include generative AI’s ability to:

Support customer interactions
Generate creative content for marketing and sales
Draft computer code based on natural-language prompts
Among many other tasks

Generative AI Will Transform Industries

Generative AI will significantly impact all industry sectors. Banking, high-tech, and life sciences are among the industries that could see the biggest impact as a percentage of their revenues from generative AI. Across the banking industry, for example, the technology could deliver value equal to an additional $200 billion to $340 billion annually if the use cases were full implemented. The potential impact in retail and consumer packaged goods is also significant at $400 billion to $660 billion a year.

Augmenting Workers with Generative AI

Generative AI can change the anatomy of work, augmenting the capabilities of individual workers by automating some of their activities. Generative AI and other technologies can potentially automate work activities that absorb 60 to 70 percent of employees’ time today.

In contrast, we previously estimated that technology has the potential to automate half of the time employees spend working. The acceleration in the potential for technical automation is mainly due to generative AI’s increased ability to understand natural language, which is required for work activities that account for 25 percent of total work time. Thus, generative AI has more impact on knowledge work associated with occupations with higher wages and educational requirements than other types of work.

The pace of workforce transformation is likely to accelerate, given increases in the potential for technical automation. Updated adoption scenarios estimate that half of today’s work activities could be automated between 2030 and 2060 based on the following:

Technology development
Economic feasibility
Diffusion timelines

The midpoint is projected for 2045, approximately a decade earlier than previous estimates.

Generative AI Will Boost Labor Productivity

Generative AI can substantially increase labor productivity across the economy, but that will require investments to support workers as they shift work activities or change jobs.

Generative AI could enable labor productivity growth of 0.1 to 0.6 percent annually through 2040, depending on the technology adoption rate and worker time redeployment into other activities. Combining generative AI with all other technologies, work automation could add 0.5 to 3.4 percentage points annually to productivity growth.

Workers will need support learning new skills, and some will change occupations. If worker transitions and other risks can be managed, generative AI could contribute substantively to economic growth and support a more sustainable, inclusive world.

Where Business Value Lies

Generative AI is a step change in the evolution of artificial intelligence. As companies rush to adapt and implement it, understanding the technology’s potential to deliver value to the economy and society will help shape critical decisions. We have used two complementary lenses to determine where generative AI, with its current capabilities, could deliver the most significant value and how significant that value could be

Potential Use Cases for Generative AI

The first lens scans use cases for generative AI that organizations could adopt. We define a “use case” as a targeted application of generative AI to a specific business challenge, resulting in one or more measurable outcomes.

For example, a marketing use case is the application of generative AI to generate creative content such as personalized emails. These have measurable outcomes that potentially include reductions in the cost of developing such content and increases in revenue from the enhanced effectiveness of higher-quality content at scale.

Economic Potential of Generative AI

We identified 63 generative AI use cases spanning 16 business functions that, when applied across industries, could deliver total value from $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually.

That would add 15 to 40 percent to the $11 trillion to $17.7 trillion of economic value that we now estimate nongenerative artificial intelligence and analytics could unlock. (Our previous estimate from 2017 was that AI could deliver $9.5 trillion to $15.4 trillion in economic value.)

Generative AI's Potential Impact on Work Activities

Our second lens complements the first by analyzing generative AI’s potential impact on the work activities required in 850 occupations. We modeled scenarios to estimate when generative AI could perform each of more than 2,100 “detailed work activities”—such as “communicating with others about operational plans or activities”—that make up those occupations across the world economy.

This enables us to estimate how the current capabilities of generative AI could affect labor productivity across all work currently done by the global workforce.

Generative AI Beyond Cost Reduction

Some of this impact will overlap with cost reductions in the use case analysis described above, which we assume results from improved labor productivity. Netting out this overlap, the total economic benefits of generative AI—including the major use cases we explored and the myriad increases in productivity that are likely to materialize when the technology is applied across knowledge workers’ activities—amount to $6.1 trillion to $7.9 trillion annually

Generative AI Will Drive Value Across Business Functions

While generative AI is an exciting and rapidly advancing technology, the other applications of AI discussed in our previous report continue to account for the majority of its overall potential value. Traditional advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms are highly effective at performing numerical and optimization tasks such as predictive modeling, and they continue to find new applications in a wide range of industries.

Nevertheless, as generative AI continues to develop and mature, it has the potential to open wholly new frontiers in creativity and innovation. It has already expanded the possibilities of what AI can achieve.

Generative AI Could Revolutionize Key Business Functions

Generative AI could impact most business functions; however, a few stand out when measured by the technology’s impact as a share of functional cost. Our analysis of 16 business functions identified just four—customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and research and development—that could account for approximately 75 percent of the total annual value from generative AI use cases.

Generative AI's Limited Value in Manufacturing and Supply Chain

Notably, the potential value of generative AI for several functions prominent in our previous sizing of AI use cases, including manufacturing and supply chain functions, is now much lower. This is primarily explained by the nature of generative AI use cases, which exclude most of the numerical and optimization applications that were the main value drivers for previous applications of AI.

In addition to the potential value generative AI can deliver in function-specific use cases, the technology could drive value across an entire organization by revolutionizing internal knowledge management systems.

Improving Knowledge Access with Generative AI

Generative AI’s impressive command of natural-language processing can help employees retrieve stored internal knowledge by formulating queries like they might ask a human a question and engage in continuing dialogue. This could empower teams to quickly access relevant information, enabling them to make better-informed decisions and develop effective strategies rapidly.

The Potential Efficiency Gains from Generative AI in Knowledge Work

In 2012, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) estimated that knowledge workers spent about a fifth of their time, or one day each work week, searching for and gathering information. The benefits would be huge if generative AI could take on such tasks, increasing the workers' efficiency and effectiveness.

Such virtual expertise could rapidly “read” vast libraries of corporate information stored in natural language and quickly scan source material in dialogue with a human who helps fine-tune and tailor its research, a more scalable solution than hiring a team of human experts for the task.

Accelerating Knowledge Work with Generative AI

In other cases, generative AI can drive value by working with workers and augmenting their work to accelerate their productivity. Its ability to rapidly digest mountains of data and draw conclusions enables the technology to offer insights and options that can dramatically enhance knowledge work. This can significantly speed up the product development and allow employees to devote more time to higher-impact tasks.

Customer Operations

The following are four examples of how generative AI could produce operational benefits in a handful of use cases across the business functions that could deliver the majority of the potential value we identified in our analysis of 63 generative AI use cases. In the first two examples, it serves as a virtual expert, while in the following two, it lends a hand as a virtual collaborator.

Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the entire customer operations function, improving the customer experience and agent productivity through digital self-service and enhancing and augmenting agent skills.

The Impact of Generative AI on Customer Service

The technology has already gained traction in customer service because it can automate customer interactions using natural language. The research found that at one company with 5,000 customer service agents, generative AI increased issue resolution by 14 percent an hour and reduced the time spent handling an issue by 9 percent.

The Benefits of Generative AI for Less-Experienced Agents

It also reduced agent attrition and requests to speak to a manager by 25 percent. Crucially, productivity and quality of service improved most among less-experienced agents. At the same time, the AI assistant did not increase—and sometimes decreased—the productivity and quality metrics of more highly skilled agents. This is because AI assistance helped less-experienced agents communicate using techniques similar to those of their higher-skilled counterparts.

The Broader Implications of Generative AI in Marketing

Our analysis of the potential use of generative AI in marketing doesn’t account for knock-on effects beyond the direct impacts on productivity. Generative AI-enabled synthesis could provide higher-quality data insights, leading to new ideas for marketing campaigns and better-targeted customer segments. Marketing functions could shift resources to producing higher-quality content for owned channels, potentially reducing spending on external channels and agencies.

Sales

Generative AI could also change how B2B and B2C companies approach sales. The following are two use cases for sales:

Increase Probability of Sale

Generative AI could identify and prioritize sales leads by creating comprehensive consumer profiles from structured and unstructured data and suggesting actions to staff to improve client engagement at every point of contact. For example, generative AI could provide better information about client preferences, potentially improving close rates.

Improve Lead Development

Generative AI could help sales representatives nurture leads by synthesizing relevant product sales information and customer profiles and creating discussion scripts to facilitate customer conversation, including up- and cross-selling talking points. It could also automate sales follow-ups and passively nurture leads until clients are ready for direct interaction with a human sales agent.

Our analysis suggests that implementing generative AI could increase sales productivity by approximately 3 to 5 percent of current global sales expenditures.

The Revenue Potential of Generative AI in Sales

This analysis may not fully account for the additional revenue that generative AI could bring to sales functions. For instance, generative AI’s ability to identify leads and follow-up capabilities could uncover new leads and facilitate more effective outreach, which would bring in additional revenue. Also, the time saved by sales representatives due to generative AI’s capabilities could be invested in higher-quality customer interactions, resulting in increased sales success.

Software Engineering: Speeding Developer Work as a Coding Assistant

Treating computer languages as just another language opens new possibilities for software engineering. Software engineers can use generative AI in pair programming, do augmented coding, and train LLMs to develop applications that generate code when given a natural-language prompt describing what that code should do.

Software engineering is a significant function in most companies, and it continues to grow as all large companies, not just tech titans, embed software in a wide array of products and services. For example, much of the value of new vehicles comes from digital features such as adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and IoT connectivity.

According to analysis, AI's direct impact on software engineering productivity could range from 20 to 45 percent of current annual spending on the function. This value would arise primarily from reducing time spent on certain activities, such as:

Generating initial code drafts
Code correction and refactoring
Root-cause analysis
Generating new system designs

By accelerating the coding process, generative AI could push the skill sets and capabilities needed in software engineering toward code and architecture design. One study found that software developers using Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot completed tasks 56 percent faster than those not using the tool.

An internal McKinsey empirical study of software engineering teams found that those trained to use generative AI tools rapidly reduced the time needed to generate and refactor code. Engineers also reported a better work experience, citing improvements in happiness, flow, and fulfillment.

The Potential Impact of Generative AI on IT Architecture and Productivity

Our analysis did not account for the increase in application quality and the resulting boost in productivity that generative AI could bring by improving code or enhancing IT architecture—which can improve productivity across the IT value chain. The quality of IT architecture still largely depends on software architects rather than on initial drafts that generative AI’s current capabilities allow it to produce.

Large technology companies are already selling generative AI for software engineering, including GitHub Copilot, which is now integrated with OpenAI’s GPT-4, and Replit, used by over 20 million coders.

Product R&D: Reducing Research and Design Time, Improving Simulation and Testing

Generative AI’s potential in R&D is perhaps less well recognized than its potential in other business functions. Still, our research indicates the technology could deliver productivity with a value ranging from 10 to 15 percent of overall R&D costs.

For example, the life sciences and chemical industries have begun using generative AI foundation models in their R&D for what is known as generative design. Foundation models can generate candidate molecules, accelerating the development of new drugs and materials.

Generative AI in Product Design

Entos, a biotech pharmaceutical company, has paired generative AI with automated synthetic development tools to design small-molecule therapeutics. But the same principles can be applied to the design of many other products, including larger-scale physical products and electrical circuits.

While other generative design techniques have already unlocked some of the potential to apply AI in R&D, their cost and data requirements, such as using “traditional” machine learning, can limit their application. Pretrained foundation models that underpin generative AI, or models that have been enhanced with fine-tuning, have much broader application areas than models optimized for a single task.

Expanding the Applications of Generative Design

They can accelerate time to market and broaden the types of products to which generative design can be applied. Foundation models cannot help design products across all industries.

In addition to the productivity gains that result from being able to produce candidate designs quickly, generative design can also enable improvements in the designs themselves, as in the following examples of the operational improvements generative AI could bring:

Enhanced Design

Generative AI can help product designers reduce costs by selecting and using materials more efficiently. It can also optimize manufacturing designs, leading to cost reductions in logistics and production.

Improved Product Testing and Quality

Using generative AI in generative design can produce a higher-quality product, resulting in increased attractiveness and market appeal. Generative AI can help reduce complex systems' testing time and accelerate trial phases involving customer testing through its ability to draft scenarios and profile testing candidates.

The Synergistic Potential of Deep Learning Surrogates and Generative AI

We also identified a new R&D use case for nongenerative AI. Deep learning surrogates, which has grown since our earlier research, can be paired with generative AI to produce even more significant benefits. Integration will require the development of specific solutions. Still, the value could be significant because deep learning surrogates have the potential to accelerate the testing of designs proposed by generative AI.

The Potential for Generative AI to Drive Innovation and Economic Growth

While we have estimated the potential direct impacts of generative AI on the R&D function, we did not attempt to assess the technology’s potential to create entirely novel product categories. These types of innovations can produce step changes in the performance of individual companies and overall economic growth.

Generative AI Supports Key Value Drivers in Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods

The technology could generate value for the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry by increasing productivity by 1.2 to 2.0 percent of annual revenues or an additional $400 billion to $660 billion.

To streamline processes, generative AI could automate key functions such as:

Customer service
Marketing and sales
Inventory and supply chain management

Technology has played an essential role in the retail and CPG industries for decades. Traditional AI and advanced analytics solutions have helped companies manage vast data pools across large numbers of SKUs, expansive supply chain and warehousing networks, and complex product categories such as consumables.

Enhancing Customer-Facing AI with Generative AI

The industries are heavily customer-facing, offering generative AI opportunities to complement previously existing artificial intelligence. For example, generative AI’s ability to personalize offerings could optimize marketing and sales activities already handled by existing AI solutions.

Generative AI tools excel at data management and could support existing AI-driven pricing tools. Applying generative AI to such activities could be a step toward integrating applications across a total enterprise.

Generative AI At Work In Retail and CPG

Generative AI is transforming customer interaction patterns, especially as consumers increasingly seek personalization in areas such as:

Clothing and cosmetics
Curated shopping experiences
Personalized outreach
Food choices

Generative AI enhances this experience by:

Aggregating market data to test concepts, ideas, and models
Assisting companies like Stitch Fix, which uses algorithms to suggest style choices based on customer preferences

Stitch Fix has experimented with DALL·E to visualize products based on customer preferences regarding color, fabric, and style. Using text-to-image generation, the company’s stylists can visualize an article of clothing based on a consumer’s preferences and then identify a similar article among Stitch Fix’s inventory.

Retailers can create applications that give shoppers a next-generation experience, creating a significant competitive advantage in an era when customers expect to have a single natural-language interface to help them select products. For example, generative AI can improve choosing and ordering ingredients for a meal or preparing food.

Imagine a chatbot that could pull up the most popular tips from the comments attached to a recipe. There is also a significant opportunity to enhance customer value management by delivering personalized marketing campaigns through a chatbot. Such applications can have human-like conversations about products in ways that can increase:

Customer satisfaction
Traffic
Brand loyalty

Generative AI offers retailers and CPG companies many opportunities to cross-sell and upsell, collect insights to improve product offerings, and increase their customer base, revenue opportunities, and overall marketing ROI.

Accelerating the Creation of Value in Key Areas

Generative AI tools can facilitate copywriting for marketing and sales, help brainstorm creative marketing ideas, expedite consumer research, and accelerate content analysis and creation. The potential improvement in writing and visuals can increase awareness and improve sales conversion rates.

Rapid Resolution and Enhanced Insights in Customer Care

The growth of e-commerce also elevates the importance of effective consumer interactions. Retailers can combine existing AI tools with generative AI to enhance the capabilities of chatbots, enabling them to mimic the interaction style of human agents better:

Responding directly to a customer’s query
Tacking or canceling an order
Offering discounts
Upselling

Automating repetitive tasks allows human agents to devote more time to handling complicated customer problems and obtaining contextual information.
