Generative AI Statistics 2024
Bristol James
Published : 24 April 2024
Between conversations about Generative AI and AI generated content, even dipping your toe into the sea of information available can be overwhelming. To help break through the noise, we’ve compiled the top AI statistics business and finance leaders should know about AI in 2024, as well as some key themes and predictions. Lets get into it.
It’s safe to say we’ve all entered the AI era, whether you’re in the adoption stage or early exploration stage, for many of us, both personally and professionally, we are leveraging AI on the daily. One thing we will undoubtedly see this year is the major shift in how roles will be impacted by AI, not only the ones which may be replaced, but also the new roles to come. A recent New York Times article highlighted within the AI boom, there’s a new ‘hot’ role in corporate America: Senior Executive in charge of AI.
Coming out of last year, the media covered the extreme highs and lows of the AI machine. Businesses and executives are feeling the pressure to start adopting AI into their way of working. Looking for ways to improve efficiencies, cut costs and improve overall performance. On the flip side is the growing concern around AI’s safety, whether it be through copywrite issues or a closer look at platforms such as WormGPT, created to exploit, steal and scam.
We predict, however, AI will start to see some stabilization as more people become familiar with how it works. We predict there will be plenty of regulations and compliance introduced in the AI space this year, especially as it becomes a growing concern for national security. At the end of 2023, we saw the European Union launch the first set of AI regulations, with many other countries to follow this year.
Trends and predictions are one thing, but what really speaks volumes is the numbers and statistics associated with generative AI on a global scale. Here’s our top 30 stats leaders should know for 2024:
Top AI Statistics 2024 (Editor's Choice)

- 79% of corporate strategists agree AI technology could be critical to their success in the next two years.
- 60% of finance leaders say they're worried about cyber crime going undetected in their business

- Almost 75% of corporate executives ranked AI ethics as important in 2021 (compared to less than 50% in 2018).
