"The adoption rate of generative AI has been nothing short of remarkable," said John Romeo, CEO of the Oliver Wyman Forum. "ChatGPT achieved mass adoption in less than one year -- a stark contrast to the internet, which took 17 years, smartphones 21 years, and electricity which took three decades, but training is not keeping up and we are facing an AI productivity disconnect."

Key Points: 
  • "The adoption rate of generative AI has been nothing short of remarkable," said John Romeo, CEO of the Oliver Wyman Forum.
  • The full potential of generative AI's productivity gains is still six to 10 years away, according to the report.
  • Trust is shaken: When asked if organizations using generative AI are untrustworthy, 29% said "yes," with 18% saying generative AI tools "are not trustworthy at all" or "not very trustworthy."
  • Many white-collar workers fear their roles will become displaced with generative AI, and this anxiety is having a direct impact on productivity.
