This year will likely see the acceleration of AI, and specifically Generative AI, into everyday business functions. According to Gartner’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Procurement and Sourcing Solutions, rapid adoption and multiple use cases will move GenAI into the “Plateau of Productivity” within two years. Gartner’s Hype Cycles are used by its clients to identify what level of interest they should have in a technology or solution. There are five levels, with the Plateau of Productivity being the top level for near-term technologies.
