Beyond the Code The Role of Non-Traditional Sectors in Shaping Generative AI Innovations and Transforming Global Industries

This paper examines the role of non-traditional sectors in integrating and advancing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) across diverse industries, extending beyond the traditional boundaries of the technology sector. Non-traditional sector players in GenAI have recently enabled a foothold in both industry and education to rapidly expand. With a focus on healthcare, agriculture, education, and finance, we highlight case studies that demonstrate the innovative applications of GenAI, illustrating its capability to drive significant industry transformations. Through this exploration, the paper emphasizes the crucial role of interdisciplinary collaboration in catalyzing technological progress and broadening the impact of GenAI. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the current and potential future states of GenAI applications, this research aims to deepen understanding of its broader societal and economic implications. This study not only captures GenAI’s transformative potential but also addresses the dual narrative of GenAI as both a promising tool, particularly for education, and a formidable challenge, underscoring its growing influence in non-traditional sectors.
