Gartner Hype Cycle Places Generative AI On The 'Peak Of Inflated Expectations'
VentureBeat, Wednesday, August 16,2023
Many might not be surprised, but today the 2023 Gartner Hype Cycle for emerging technologies placed generative AI on the 'Peak of Inflated Expectations' for the first time.
Each year, Gartner creates more than 90 Hype Cycles as a way for its clients to track technology maturity and future potential. The five phases in the Hype Cycle are Technology Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, Trough of Disillusionment, Slope of Enlightenment and Plateau of Productivity.
Gen AI's inflated expectations are undeniable
Generative AI, of course, is not a singular technology, said Gartner analyst Arun Chandrasekaran in an interview with VentureBeat. It includes everything from foundation and diffusion models to prompt engineering tools. 'They all enable this trend of generative AI,' he explained.
