Businesses are already being radically transformed by artificial intelligence(AI).
企业已经被人工智能（AI）彻底改变。
Tools now exist that offer instantaneous, high-quality results in improving certain operations without the burden of high costs or delays.
如今的工具在优化特定的业务能做到及时、高质量却不需要高成本或高时延。
In fact, generative AI could completely upend the traditional ways that we measure success in business.
事实上，生成式AI能完全颠覆我们衡量商业成功的传统标准。
Generative AI refers to programs that produce high-quality text,images, ideas and even complex software code in response to prompts(questions or instructions) from a user.
生成式AI是指能够根据用户的提示（问题或指令），生成高质量的文本、图像、想法，甚至复杂的软件代码的程序。
Applications powered by data-driven algorithms enable users to quickly create high-quality content, redefining traditional measures of success.
由数据驱动算法支持的应用程序能让用户快速的创作高质量内容，重新定义了传统的成功的标准。
A small café can generate aesthetically pleasing menus in a few clicks through apps like Jasper. AI.
一家小咖啡馆可以通过诸如Jasper. AI之类的应用程序中点击寥寥几次就可以生成一个符合审美的菜单。
Online retailers can use generative AI chatbots such as botco.ai to provide 24/7 support,answering queries and offering advice.
线上零售商可以使用如botco.ai之类的生成式AI聊天机器人提供全天候支持，回答顾客的问题并为顾客提供建议。
Businesses with an online presence can use generative AI to analyse social media posts in order to understand customer sentiment.
拥有线上业务的企业可以使用生成式AI分析社交媒体帖子，以便了解顾客的感受。
AI empowers businesses by automating tasks like writing marketing copy, crafting social media posts and generating blog articles.
AI通过执行自动化任务，如撰写营销文案、创作社交媒体帖子以及生成博客文章来为企业赋能。
Additionally, AI can handle routine customer inquiries, data entry and scheduling, freeing up valuable
time for strategic initiatives.
除此之外，AI可以解决顾客的日常咨询，数据录入和日程安排，为人们腾出宝贵的时间来进行战略规划。
Platforms such as GPT-4, GeminiAI and Co-Pilot are either free or affordable, making it easier for even small firms to benefit from high-end capabilities once reserved only for bigger firms with bigger budgets.
GPT-4, GeminiAI和Co-Pilot等平台要么免费，要么价格亲民，这使得即使是小型企业，也能更轻松地从高端功能中获益，而这些功能曾经只有预算充足的大型企业才能享用。
Generative AI tools can produce content in close to real time, and deliver results without forcing firms to compromise on quality.
生成式AI能几乎实时地产出内容，并且在不降低质量的前提下交付成果。
In fact, the AI tools get better at what they do as they’re exposed to more data.
事实上，一旦AI工具接触到更多数据，它们在其执行的任务中表现得愈发出色。
Businesses operating a family of models known as “as a service” models, can make particular use of generative AI.
运营一系列被称为"即服务"模型的企业，能特别有效地利用生成式AI。
In one of these, known as content-as-a-service(CAAS) firms provide other organisations with quick access to quality written content and visuals.
其中一种模式是“内容即服务”（CAAS），在此模式下的公司为其他机构提供快速获取优质文字内容和视觉素材的途径。
Once exclusively the domain of humans, these tasks can now be done by AI.
这些曾经是仅属于人类工作范畴的东西，如今这些任务也可以被AI完成。
Firms operating a software-as-a-service(SAAS) model can also leverage AI given that some programs now generate complex computer code.
因为现在一些程序现在也可以生成复杂的计算机代码，运营“软件即服务”（SAAS）模式的公司也可以利用AI。
Historically, project management and business success was largely defined through a simple formula: Cost x Time = Quality.
过去，项目管理和商业成功很大程度上被一个简单的公式定义，即 成本 x 时间 = 质量 。
Often touted as the “iron triangle” from the perspective of operational efficiency, this equation implies that, in order to attain a degree of quality, firms must balance cost with the time spent to achieve that level of quality.
从运营效率的角度看，这一公式常被称作 “铁三角”。它意味着，为了达到一定的质量水平，企业必须在成本与为实现该质量水平所投入的时间之间进行权衡。
For example, requesting that something be both delivered quickly and at a high quality typically incurs higher costs.
例如，要求某物既要快速交付又要保证高质量，通常会产生更高的成本。
Proper planning and scheduling help ensure competitive pricing and reliable quality.
合理的计划和安排能够保证产品有竞争力的价格和可靠的质量。
Delivering results faster often translates to investing more resources, such as labour or specialised equipment, adding to overall costs.
更快地交付成果往往需要投入更多的资源，比如说劳动力或专业的设备，这些都会增加总成本。
Conversely, delivering lower cost solutions would often come at the expense of quality.
相反，提出低成本的解决方案往往要以牺牲质量为代价。
A related trade off is that of speed versus accuracy.
与之相关的一种权衡，是速度与准确性之间的考量。
lf something needs to be done quickly, accuracy is often compromised.
如果某件事需要被快速的完成，准确性往往会降低。
AI has upended this thinking, as firms can now achieve both speed and accuracy at the same time by leveraging AI.
AI正在颠覆这种思维，因为企业如今可以通过使用AI使高速和高准确度同时实现。
This can enhance productivity and drive innovation without losing out on quality.
这既能推动生产力、促进创新，又能不牺牲产品质量。
Likewise, through generative AI, smaller companies with fewer resources are able to rub shoulders and compete with larger firms using AI-powered tools.
同样，借助生成式AI，资源相对较少的小公司也能够与运用人工智能工具的大公司同场竞技。
They can do this by streamlining operations, creating cost-effective marketing content and delivering personalised customer experiences.
小公司可以通过简化运营流程，制作有成本效益的营销内容以及提供个性化的客户体验来做到这一点。
This can make existing businesses more efficient, competitive and creative.
这可以让如今的企业运营更高效、更具竞争力和创造力。
It can also lower the barriers to entry into markets for prospective small and medium-sized business owners.
这也可以降低潜在的中小企业进入市场的壁垒。
Many generative AI tools are cloud-based, reducing the need for significant infrastructure costs.
许多生成式AI工具是基于云计算的，这减少了大量基础设施成本的支出需求。
They are also user friendly, requiring no specialised expertise.
它们对用户也非常友好，无需专业知识。
This means that organisations no longer require specialised talent to drive competitiveness within their organisations.
这意味着组织机构不再需要依赖专业人才来提升自身的竞争力。
Some small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) are using generative AI to transform efficiency and productivity as well as improve accessibility and reduce costs.
一些中小企业（SMEs）正在使用生成式AI来提升生成效率和生产力，同时提高产品的可及性并降低成本。
Generative AI has reconfigured the Cost x Time = Quality formula and has enabled firms to do things both quickly and accurately without a trade off.
生成式AI重新调整了 成本 × 时间 = 质量 这一公式，使企业能够在无需权衡取舍的情况下快速且准确地完成任务。
For SMEs, it has torn down competitive barriers and the prospects for survival during economic upheaval.
对于中小企业而言，它（生成式AI）拆除了竞争壁垒并提升了在经济动荡时期的生存机会。
As generative AI continues to develop, companies must be open to embracing changeand and rethinking how they perceive everything they once held true.
随着生成式AI的持续发展，企业必须乐于接受变革，并重新思考他们对曾经坚信正确的一切事物。
Otherwise, they’ll have the wrong horse, for the wrong course.
否则，他们就相当于选了不适合的马，跑在错误的赛道上。
