This is a summary of Generative AI Trends surveyed from various vendors across industry sectors, as made available publicly from their respective websites.  For those unfamiliar with the term, it refers to machine learning algorithms that generate new content including but not restricted to text, images, audio, and video. For those in technology, this includes all AI products that can generate test cases, datasets, and code. This form of AI transforms work across different industries.

In the Healthcare Industry, there are plenty of health records and medical devices that demand to be properly vetted. Generative AI can create realistic data sets for various scenarios that can help with testing software products associated with these healthcare assets. When analyzing medical images, discovering new drugs, and making personalized drugs, LLM-as-a-judge can also come in helpful to test. This leads to better quality and safety.

In the design and manufacturing industry, there is a need to create new designs for new requirements based on existing designs and patterns and AI models can learn and mimic humans in doing that. So, efficiency and innovation are both boosted, and Generative AI can simulate various production scenarios and identify potential flaws or issues before they arise, which makes production both effective and efficient.

In the field of customer experience across retail industries, copilots and agents have become immensely popular because of their ability to be human like in their responses while providing relevant information. While they are getting better at conversations, they also have the ability to factor in numerous steps delegated to software agents that can help them better frame a response to the customer. For example, one of the steps can be a calculator agent that converts one form of measurement to another for better correlation. Both the domain and the language can also be varied for different chatbots.

In the fields of software testing and security testing, Generative AI is a game changer and has garnered a lot of attention to AI safety and security. Issues and reports can now be filed faster than ever, which makes integrations less painful and more collaborative than ever before. It is also helping to reduce manual testing. Scripted automation and data-driven testing helped tremendously to do that, but with generative AI there is indeed a revolution. Creating new tests and adapting to situations with minimal human intervention is now possible autonomously. Unlike traditional methods where the software engineer was training the testing bots, Generative AI uses models to learn the patterns without human intervention. This is referred to as Autonomous test case generation.

In the field of monitoring with alerts and notifications for both active and passive observance of metrics and measurements of diverse systems in different industries, Generative AI is proving to be a blessing in reducing both the noise and improving the quality of alerts all while processing large amounts of machine data that are generally difficult to comprehend without investigative querying. The expertise to solve problems and troubleshoot software issues across a fast evolving and complex landscape of technology products and services has always demanded more from CloudOps and DevOps Engineers and AI models and Generative Models are providing the best of anomaly detection, outlier detections, false positives detections and responding to human investigations in a chat like interface which is a welcome addition to the tools these engineers use to keep all systems up and available for mission critical purposes.
