Adoption of Gen AI faster than PCs, smartphones, says Oracle

Adoption of Generative AI (Gen AI) is happening at a faster pace than smartphones or PCs, said Oracle, a technology rm based in Austin, Texas.

“If one compares the rst four years of many recent technologies, it is evident that adoption of Gen AI is happening at a faster pace than smartphones or PCs,” said Chris Chelliah, senior vice president, Technology and Customer Strategy, Oracle, Japan & APAC.

According to him, Gen AI is at the forefront of many conversations of enterprises globally and has also changed the way Oracle had developed its new products.

“Today, not only is Oracle Generative AI supporting customers, it is also changing how Oracle itself develops new products,” he said.

According to Saravanan Palanivel, Vice President, Cloud Engineering, Oracle India, AI’s capability is growing rapidly as it is “getting better and faster.”

For instance, it took over a decade for AI’s handwriting recognition to be as good as the average human, but the learning curve for AI models to reach human parity for reading comprehension and language understanding has gotten signicantly steeper.

“For speech recognition it took 17 years, handwriting recognition 14 years, image recognition 6 years, reading comprehension 2 years… to reach human parity,” Mr. Palanivel said.
