The piece warns that the hype around generative AI is eclipsing the equally vital role of analytical AI, which turns raw data into actionable insights for decision‑making and investor scrutiny. UK data shows ChatGPT spending surged 835% year‑on‑year while only 9% of firms use AI for data management, highlighting a gap in adoption. McKinsey research suggests generative AI can amplify the economic gains of analytical AI by up to 40%, and the author outlines five practical steps—identifying opportunities, setting objectives, assessing data readiness, building data foundations, and training staff—to embed analytical AI. By coupling analytical rigor with generative storytelling, companies can craft evidence‑backed narratives that attract private‑equity funding and reduce perceived risk.
