The rapid ascent of Generative AI (GenAI), powered by sophisticated Large Language Models (LLMs), has captured global attention, demonstrating remarkable capabilities in content creation, summarization, and interaction. Businesses are actively exploring and integrating these tools to enhance productivity and unlock new avenues for communication. However, focusing solely on GenAI overlooks the next seismic shift in artificial intelligence: Agentic AI.

At the recent Artefact Data & AI Summit in Dubai, Vincent Luciani, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Artefact, shared his insights on the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. This article covers the main points from Vincent’s session, including the commoditization of AI, its impact on the workforce, the associated challenges and opportunities, and strategic recommendations for organizations.

Imagine a scenario where every operational data point of an industry is continuously captured, organized, scalable, and free from cyber threats. This is the concept of IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational Technology) convergence, an evolution where the synergy between data and technology optimizes efficiency, security, and innovation in manufacturing, enabling high-quality data and robust security that support reliable and strategic decisions.

The Artefact Research Center's mission is to foster an innovation ecosystem around AI and data by encouraging collaboration between university professors and representatives of international partner companies. The goal: cutting-edge research driven by data and the industrial applications of its partner companies.
