https://www.pymnts.com/news/artificial-intelligence/2024/ai-spending-surge-drives-palantir-digitalocean-gains/ This piece talks of the largest fear likes of Palantir is susceptible to, namely unsustainable growth. I see the opposite problem. GenAI is tinkering on the periphery. True growth requires companies take a holistic spectrum of people, process, technologies to achieve sustainable growth from AI through transformation and that is not achieved by incremental initiatives. Data analytics company Palantir Technologiesreported that its third-quarter revenue rose 30% year over year (YoY) as demand for AI tools fueled strong growth in its commercial business. The Denver-based company on Monday (Nov. 4) posted revenue of $726 million, compared with $558 million a year earlier. U.S. … Continue reading Palantir Revenue Jumps as AI Drives Growth

Deloitte analysis of 10 years … 4,000 global organizations digital transformation … enterprise value

Colin Henderson

Our analysis of 10 years of financial disclosures from more than 4,000 global organizations reveals where digital transformation actions can increase enterprise value—and, just as importantly, where they can erode it. Digital transformation is on everyone’s agenda. But the hardest part of any transformation is not deciding whether to embark on it; it’s understanding whether you’re seeing distinctive returns on your investment. Organizations often struggle to determine which actions drive the most impact and which investments yield the most enterprise value. We examined which actions can increase the odds of transformation success, and we identified the actions that drive value: … Continue reading Deloitte analysis of 10 years … 4,000 global organizations digital transformation … enterprise value

The Simple Macroeconomics of AI

Colin Henderson

Daron Acemoglu – Massachusetts Institute of Technology – May 12, 2024 Abstract This paper evaluates claims about large macroeconomic implications of new advances in AI. It starts from a task-based model of AI’s effects, working through automation and task complementarities. So long as AI’s microeconomic effects are driven by cost savings/productivity improvements at the task level, its macroeconomic consequences will be given by a version of Hulten’s theorem: GDP and aggregate productivity gains can be estimated by what fraction of tasks are impacted and average task-level cost savings. Using existing estimates on exposure to AI and productivity improvements at the … Continue reading The Simple Macroeconomics of AI
