Twice monthly, we bring you four new insights out of the dozens we publish that we think are worth a second glance from any business leader in any geography. In this edition, we look at gen AI’s meteoric rise, how digital twins could revolutionize product development, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.

Start your engines. This time last year, almost nobody was even wondering about generative AI, much less planning how to utilize it. Now, it’s almost all we can talk about—and a third of respondents to the latest annual McKinsey Global Survey say their organizations are already using gen AI regularly in at least one business function. Looking ahead, three-quarters of all respondents expect gen AI to disrupt their industry’s competition in the next three years.

For more wow stats, and to chart gen AI’s path through your organization, scroll through The state of AI in 2023: Generative AI’s breakout year, a survey developed by Michael Chui, Bryce Hall, Alex Singla, Alexander Sukharevsky, and Lareina Yee.
