Amazon Web Services (AWS) has categorized enterprise generative AI use cases into three buckets:
–       customer experience,
–       employee productivity,
–       and process optimization.

A 2024 O’Reilly survey categorized the use cases into eight categories:
–       programming, data analysis,
–       customer support,
–       marketing copy,
–       other copy,
–       research,
–       web design,
–       and art.

Some organizations, like Deloitte, have categorized use cases by value capture, such as
–       cost reduction,
–       process efficiency,
–       growth,
–       and accelerating innovation.

For value capture, Gartner has a category for business continuity, meaning an organization might go out of business if it doesn’t adopt generative AI.
Of the 2,500 executives Gartner surveyed, 7% cited business continuity as the motivation for embracing generative AI.

Eloundou et al. (2023) have excellent research on how exposed different occupations are to AI. They defined a task as exposed if AI and AI-powered software can reduce the time needed to complete this task by at least 50%. An occupation with 80% exposure means that 80% of the occupation’s tasks are exposed. According to the study, occupations with 100% or close to 100% exposure include
–       interpreters and translators,
–       tax preparers,
–       web designers,
–       and writers.

Not unsurprisingly, occupations with no exposure to AI include cooks, stonemasons, and athletes. This study gives a good idea of what use cases AI is good for.
