As a tool for drafting email responses to customer inquiries, summarizing long technical articles, or as a brainstorming tool in team meetings, generative AI for text generation such as ChatGPT is already used by more than half of German start-ups (53 %) is used. A further 11 percent have not yet used such a tool, but already plan to use it, and 21 percent can imagine using it in the future. These are the results of a survey of 203 tech startups commissioned by digital association Bitkom. “Startups are pioneers in the use of new technologies. Such rapid and widespread use of generative AI by founders should signal the economy as a whole. Businesses should consider where artificial intelligence can be used “effectively deployed,” says Niklas Veltkamp, a member of the Bitkom Executive Board. “We should make every effort not only to use AI, but also to develop it. In this respect, start-ups are important innovators and pioneers.”
Only 1 in 11 startups (9%) are not using generative text AI and will continue to rule it out. 6% are unable or unwilling to provide this information. Furthermore, 9 out of 10 (86%) of his founders say they can adequately describe what ChatGPT is. 13% are vaguely aware of its content.
