Generative AI: The Democratization of Intelligent Systems

Generative AI has transformed nearly every industry exponentially, creating a lasting impact driven by its promises of cost savings, manual task reduction, and a slew of other benefits that improve overall productivity and efficiency. The applications of GenAI are expansive, and thanks to the democratization of large language models (LLMs), AI is reaching nearly every industry worldwide.

DZone's 2025 report, "Generative AI: The Democratization of Intelligent Systems," was sponsored by Cisco and analyzes trends surrounding GenAI models, algorithms, and implementation. It pays special attention to GenAI's impacts on code generation and software development as a whole. Readers can use this guide to help assess their own organization's AI capabilities and learn how they can better leverage AI in 2025 and beyond.

The report also includes Cisco's 2024 retrospective on AI, which examines policy, the threat landscape, and research on integrating AI with critical systems.

The generative AI report covers:

Key findings from DZone's generative AI research
Cisco's 2024 retrospective of AI security
Balancing good versus evil AI
Supercharged LLMs
