WEF: AI in Action – Beyond Experimentation to Transform Industry

AI in Practice: From Experimentation to Industrial Transformation.

  • The report highlights that while many companies are experimenting with AI—particularly generative AI—scaling these initiatives to achieve sustainable and transformative impact remains a major challenge.
  • Successful industrial AI transformation requires moving beyond experimentation by strategically aligning AI with business goals and building critical enablers such as ecosystem collaboration, trust, talent development, and a strong digital foundation.
  • Generative AI carries significant potential to boost productivity and growth, reshaping how industries operate, with early adopters already benefiting from improved decision-making and efficiency gains.

The generative AI chatbot market is experiencing a dramatic transformation. Recent data from First Page Sage reveals that while ChatGPT maintains its leading position, it's steadily losing ground to emerging competitors. The latest figures from October 2025 paint a picture of an ecosystem in flux.
The labor market is undergoing a profound shift driven by Generative AI. For employees, this means one thing above all: actively shaping their work, upskilling, and understanding hybrid roles.
As AI language technology increasingly moves beyond screens and into our everyday conversations, the art of prompting is emerging as a key skill. This article explores the core principles of prompt design that help real-time AI agents communicate more naturally, respond more intuitively, and sound more human.
Effective prompts are reusable building blocks that measurably increase quality, consistency, and speed. The following ten blueprint types cover 80–90% of common use cases—from ideation and analysis to output maturation. They help bring structure to creative processes and guide generative AI purposefully.
In the age of AI, marketing follows seven new rules – from real customer data and authentic content to the smart use of AI. Applying these rules helps brands build stronger relationships and secure a lasting competitive edge.
No more vague AI answers! These 11 proven strategies turn your prompts from “okay” to “wow”.
IDC outlines the top 10 AI predictions — highlighting a strong investment path, outcome orientation, and the rising importance of specialized hardware and software stacks. The report shows how companies are professionalizing their AI strategies, reallocating budgets to scalable platforms, and paving the way for broader, more productive use of GenAI and automation.
The WEF/PwC white paper shows how GenAI augments rather than replaces jobs — with practical scenarios, clear productivity metrics, and a comprehensive people-first adoption framework. The focus is on engaging employees, building targeted capabilities, and designing technology to increase value creation, quality, and acceptance in equal measure.
BCG shows that only a few “AI Leaders” capture the majority of value — through ambitious target visions, disciplined portfolios, and robust value tracking. What matters most are a clear focus on value, technical excellence, and consistent scaling of prototypes into productive solutions that are sustainably embedded into processes and organizations.
The 360° framework connects protection and innovation — offering pragmatic guidelines for gap analysis, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive regulation. It provides a structured approach to minimize risks, ensure legal certainty, and at the same time safeguard the innovative capacity of business and research.
The McKinsey report shows: Real GenAI value is not created in pilots, but at scale. An isolated pilot project may demonstrate that a technology works, but it does not yet generate sustainable business value. A pilot often succeeds under lab-like conditions: with a dedicated expert team, clean data, and without the complexity of a real IT landscape.
The study documents the extraordinary growth of ChatGPT since its launch in 2022: by July 2025, around 700 million people are already using the service weekly – equivalent to about 10% of the world’s adult population.
