What are they using it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This ranking tracks the\u00a0most popular AI use cases<\/strong>\u00a0as sourced from an analysis done by Marc Zao-Sanders for\u00a0Harvard Business Review<\/a>. He examined thousands of forum posts over the last year in a follow-up to his 2024 analysis.<\/p>\n

The top 30 ranks from this report have been visualized in this graphic via Visual Capitalist’s Pallavi Rao<\/a>. Labels have been edited lightly from the source for readability.\u00a0<\/p>\n
