Background [ ]

Over 300 years ago, Don Freecss traveled to the Dark Continent and tried to explore the Mobius shoreline by himself, recording his travels in two editions: an East ( 東 ( ひがし ) , Higashi ) edition and a West ( 西 ( にし ) , Nishi ) edition; however, only the East edition is still extant. Ging believes that the West edition has yet to be found because Don is currently still writing it. [2]

The book was originally considered a work of fiction. However, after many incidents involving the Dark Continent, the book has attained legendary status as a vital source of information regarding the place. [1]

Dark Continent Expedition arc [ ]

The Director giving Steiner a copy of the book

In the basement of the International Permit Agency , the IPA Director hands the book to Steiner and explains that it was published several centuries ago and thought to be a lunatic's ramblings. However, he adds that while it was once considered fiction, its very existence is legendary now. He instructs Steiner to memorize every detail of the book and identify the risks of traveling to the "New World". Steiner reads about the Five Threats that humanity brought back from the Dark Continent, leaving him frightened as he tells himself that it isn't a place humanity should return to. [1] Later, Steiner tells the Director that while their official stance is that the book is fiction, it's actually the basis for the most important criteria for the world. The Director laughs in response and pats Steiner on the back, saying that while an honest world would be best, peace is more important. [3]

After Ging discusses the Dark Continent with Beyond's expedition team , Curly wonders if there was a previous pioneer he wasn't aware of. Ging reveals that one man tried to explore the entire shoreline of Lake Mobius by himself 300 years ago and even wrote a book about it called Journey to the New World . He adds that while it has two editions, East and West, only the former has been found. He says that there are three possible reasons, and Mascher replies that it simply hasn't been found yet, with another member guessing that the writer's goal was too ambitious and he never wrote it. Curly asks about the third reason, and Ging says that he could still be writing it. The other members wonder how after 300 years, but Curly remembers Nitro Rice and herbs that cure disease. Ging then reveals that the book's author is named Don Freecss . [2]

Succession Contest arc [ ]

Steiner reading his copy now filled with several notes

After the Black Whale departs, Steiner is seen aboard the ship with other members of the IPA as he continues to read the book. Two others wonder why he's still reading it since he already memorized it, but he advises them to at least read the chapter on the labyrinthine city, saying that if he dies, one of them will become deputy secretary. Peuckert reminds him that the Hunter Association will be protecting them and that the current Director is one of the unofficial "sole survivors." They assure Steiner that he will be safe and ask him to remember them when he gets promoted. [4]

• Mon Histoire 2

Remember Patience Whipple , or Mem for short, is a twelve-year-old sailing on the Mayflower towards the New World . Her family belongs to the Saints of the Holy Discipline, called Saints or Separatists, and are searching for religious freedom. Mem befriends a girl her age, Humility "Hummy" Sawyer . Hummy's mother passed away just before the voyage began. Her father has been in a "melancholy" ever since. Hummy and her father are Strangers since they are not Saints. William Bradford has dubbed the whole group Pilgrims , which Mem prefers.

By November 1620, the Mayflower has reached Cape Cod Bay , instead of its intended destination Virginia. The men argue and finally reach an agreement, known as the Mayflower Compact . They are also elect a governor. Mem and the other women are allowed to go to shore a few days later. For about a month, they are mostly confined to the ship as the men explore the nearby land. They eventually find an area they deem "superior", and name it Plymouth .

Construction on the settlement's common house begins. Mem's family has their on home by the end of January 1621. Meanwhile, many of the settlers become sick, including Mem's mother . Everyday Mem takes care her in the community's sick house. In mid-March, a friendly Indian named Samoset visits and later comes back with Squanto . Mem is distracted by their new friends and feels bad for not realizing her mother has grown worse. She dies a few days later. Hummy's father later decides to return to England.

Mem stops writing for two months, grieving the loss of her mother and best friend. By late July, she has noticed an "attraction" between her father and Hannah Potts . Mem is not very fond of Hannah, whose quietness annoys her. She later becomes more patient with Hannah, after a misunderstanding. In October, Hannah and Mem's father are married. Several days later, the Indian chief Massasoit and his tribe join the Pilgrims in a three day feast. Mem falls ill and Hannah looks after her for two weeks. After recovering, Mem climbs up a hill to watch the new ship approach.

Epilogue [ ]

Mem never saw her friend Hummy again. At nineteen-years-old, Mem married William Endicott in 1628. Two years later, she and her husband moved to the newly founded Boston where he became a successful merchant. Mem gave birth to twins, Humility and Grace . Blessing moved to Boston after marrying William's cousin, followed by Hannah and her two sons after her husband died. Mem lived a long, fulfilled life surrounded by her children and their children. Her great-great-great granddaughter Humility Albright found Mem's journal in an old trunk in 1850.

Historical Note [ ]

In England, the Puritans desired to separate themselves from the Church of England's . Due to persecution, a group moved to Leyden, Holland in 1607. Desiring to create their own colony, the Pilgrims sailed to the New World in 1620 after receiving financial backing in London. They settled at Plymouth in the dead of winter, which caused many colonists to die of starvation or disease. Three months after their arrival, the Pilgrims met Samoset whom introduced them to Squanto . The colony survived thanks to Squanto's guidance. That October, the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving and invited neighboring tribes. The note includes ten pictures as well as maps of the Mayflower and Massachusetts.

The Mayflower

By: History.com Editors

Updated: June 27, 2023 | Original: March 4, 2010

In September 1620, a merchant ship called the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, a port on the southern coast of England. Normally, the Mayflower’s cargo was wine and dry goods, but on this trip the ship carried passengers: 102 of them, all hoping to start a new life on the other side of the Atlantic. Nearly 40 of these passengers were Protestant Separatists—they called themselves “Saints”—who hoped to establish a new church in the so-called New World. Today, we often refer to the colonists who crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower as “Pilgrims.”

Pilgrims Before the Mayflower

In 1608, a congregation of disgruntled English Protestants from the village of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, left England and moved to Leyden, a town in Holland. These “Separatists” did not want to pledge allegiance to the Church of England , which they believed was nearly as corrupt and idolatrous as the Catholic Church it had replaced, any longer. (They were not the same as the Puritans, who had many of the same objections to the English church but wanted to reform it from within.) The Separatists hoped that in Holland, they would be free to worship as they liked

Did you know? The Separatists who founded the Plymouth Colony referred to themselves as “Saints,” not “Pilgrims.” The use of the word “Pilgrim” to describe this group did not become common until the colony’s bicentennial.

In fact, the Separatists, or “Saints,” as they called themselves, did find religious freedom in Holland, but they also found a secular life that was more difficult to navigate than they’d anticipated. For one thing, Dutch craft guilds excluded the migrants, so they were relegated to menial, low-paying jobs. 

Even worse was Holland’s easygoing, cosmopolitan atmosphere, which proved alarmingly seductive to some of the Saints’ children. (These young people were “drawn away,” Separatist leader William Bradford wrote, “by evill [sic] example into extravagance and dangerous courses.”) For the strict, devout Separatists, this was the last straw. They decided to move again, this time to a place without government interference or worldly distraction: the “New World” across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Mayflower Journey

First, the Separatists returned to London to get organized. A prominent merchant agreed to advance the money for their journey. The Virginia Company gave them permission to establish a settlement, or “plantation,” on the East Coast between 38 and 41 degrees north latitude (roughly between the Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of the Hudson River). And the King of England gave them permission to leave the Church of England, “provided they carried themselves peaceably.”

In August 1620, a group of about 40 Saints joined a much larger group of (comparatively) secular colonists—“Strangers,” to the Saints—and set sail from Southampton, England on two merchant ships: the Mayflower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell began to leak almost immediately, however, and the ships headed back to port in Plymouth. The travelers squeezed themselves and their belongings onto the Mayflower, a cargo ship about 80 feet long and 24 feet wide and capable of carrying 180 tons of cargo. The Mayflower set sail once again under the direction of Captain Christopher Jones.

Because of the delay caused by the leaky Speedwell, the Mayflower had to cross the Atlantic at the height of storm season. As a result, the journey was horribly unpleasant. Many of the passengers were so seasick they could scarcely get up, and the waves were so rough that one “Stranger” was swept overboard. (It was “the just hand of God upon him,” Bradford wrote later, for the young sailor had been “a proud and very profane yonge man.”)

The Mayflower Compact

After sixty-six days, or roughly two miserable months at sea, the ship finally reached the New World. There, the Mayflower’s passengers found an abandoned Indian village and not much else. They also found that they were in the wrong place: Cape Cod was located at 42 degrees north latitude, well north of the Virginia Company’s territory. Technically, the Mayflower colonists had no right to be there at all. 

In order to establish themselves as a legitimate colony (“Plymouth,” named after the English port from which they had departed) under these dubious circumstances, 41 of the Saints and Strangers drafted and signed a document they called the Mayflower Compact . This Compact promised to create a “civil Body Politick” governed by elected officials and “just and equal laws.” It also swore allegiance to the English king. It was the first document to establish self-government in the New World and this early attempt at democracy set the stage for future colonists seeking independence from the British .

The First Thanksgiving

The colonists spent the first winter living onboard the Mayflower. Only 53 passengers and half the crew survived. Women were particularly hard hit; of the 19 women who had boarded the Mayflower, only five survived the cold New England winter, confined to the ship where disease and cold were rampant. The Mayflower sailed back to England in April 1621, and once the group moved ashore, the colonists faced even more challenges.

During their first winter in America, more than half of the Plymouth colonists died from malnutrition, disease and exposure to the harsh New England weather. In fact, without the help of the area’s native people, it is likely that none of the colonists would have survived. An English-speaking Abenaki named Samoset helped the colonists form an alliance with the local Wampanoags, who taught them how to hunt local animals, gather shellfish and grow corn, beans and squash. 

At the end of the next summer, the Plymouth colonists celebrated their first successful harvest with a three-day festival of thanksgiving. We still commemorate this feast and remember it as the first Thanksgiving , though it did not occur on the fourth Thursday in November like it does today, but sometime between late September and mid November 1621. The colonists were outnumbered two to one by their guests . Attendee Edward Winslow noted there were “many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men.”

Plymouth Colony

Eventually, the Plymouth colonists were absorbed into the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony. Still, the Mayflower Saints and their descendants remained convinced that they alone had been specially chosen by God to act as a beacon for Christians around the world. “As one small candle may light a thousand,” Bradford wrote, “so the light here kindled hath shone to many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.”

Today, visitors wishing to see Plymouth Colony as it appeared during the time of the Mayflower can witness reenactments of the first Thanksgiving and more at Plymouth Plantation.

Mayflower Descendants

There are an estimated 10 million living Americans and 35 million people around the world who are descended from the original passengers on the Mayflower like Myles Standish, John Alden and William Bradford. include Humphrey Bogart, Julia Child, Norman Rockwell, and presidents John Adams , James Garfield and Zachary Taylor .

The First New World Voyage of Christopher Columbus (1492)

European Exploration of the Americas

• B.A., Spanish, Penn State University

How was the first voyage of Columbus to the New World undertaken, and what was its legacy? Having convinced the King and Queen of Spain to finance his voyage, Christopher Columbus departed mainland Spain on August 3, 1492. He quickly made port in the Canary Islands for a final restocking and left there on September 6. He was in command of three ships: the Pinta, the Niña, and the Santa María. Although Columbus was in overall command, the Pinta was captained by Martín Alonso Pinzón and the Niña by Vicente Yañez Pinzón.

First Landfall: San Salvador

On October 12, Rodrigo de Triana, a sailor aboard the Pinta, first sighted land. Columbus himself later claimed that he had seen a sort of light or aura before Triana did, allowing him to keep the reward he had promised to give to whoever spotted land first. The land turned out to be a small island in the present-day Bahamas. Columbus named the island San Salvador, although he remarked in his journal that the natives referred to it as Guanahani. There is some debate over which island was Columbus’ first stop; most experts believe it to be San Salvador, Samana Cay, Plana Cays or Grand Turk Island.

Second Landfall: Cuba

Columbus explored five islands in the modern-day Bahamas before he made it to Cuba. He reached Cuba on October 28, making landfall at Bariay, a harbor near the eastern tip of the island. Thinking he had found China, he sent two men to investigate. They were Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres, a converted Jew who spoke Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic in addition to Spanish. Columbus had brought him as an interpreter. The two men failed in their mission to find the Emperor of China but did visit a native Taíno village. There they were the first to observe the smoking of tobacco, a habit which they promptly picked up.

Third Landfall: Hispaniola

Leaving Cuba, Columbus made landfall on the Island of Hispaniola on December 5. Indigenous people called it Haití but Columbus referred to it as La Española, a name which was later changed to Hispaniola when Latin texts were written about the discovery. On December 25, the Santa María ran aground and had to be abandoned. Columbus himself took over as captain of the Niña, as the Pinta had become separated from the other two ships. Negotiating with the local chieftain Guacanagari, Columbus arranged to leave 39 of his men behind in a small settlement, named La Navidad .

Return to Spain

On January 6, the Pinta arrived, and the ships were reunited: they set out for Spain on January 16. The ships arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, on March 4, returning to Spain shortly after that.

Historical Importance of Columbus' First Voyage

In retrospect, it is somewhat surprising that what is today considered one of the most important voyages in history was something of a failure at the time. Columbus had promised to find a new, quicker route to the lucrative Chinese trade markets and he failed miserably. Instead of holds full of Chinese silks and spices, he returned with some trinkets and a few bedraggled Indigenous people from Hispaniola. Some 10 more had perished on the voyage. Also, he had lost the largest of the three ships entrusted to him.

Columbus actually considered the Indigenous people his greatest find. He thought that a new trade of enslaved people could make his discoveries lucrative. Columbus was hugely disappointed a few years later when Queen Isabela, after careful thought, decided not to open the New World to the trading of enslaved people.

Columbus never believed that he had found something new. He maintained, to his dying day, that the lands he discovered were indeed part of the known Far East. In spite of the failure of the first expedition to find spices or gold, a much larger second expedition was approved, perhaps in part due to Columbus’ skills as a salesman.

Trump Says He Will Appeal, Setting Off a Long Legal Journey

New York’s appellate system could take years to dispose of the case. The speaker of the House said the Supreme Court should intercede.

• Share full article

By William K. Rashbaum ,  Ben Protess and Michael Gold

• May 31, 2024

After a five-year investigation and a seven-week trial, Donald J. Trump was convicted on Thursday of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal. But that will not be the last word on the case.

Mr. Trump declared on Friday that he would appeal the landmark verdict, suggesting his lawyers had several grounds.

“We’ll be appealing this scam,” he said at a rambling news conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan. “We’ll be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses or have us talk or allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant.”

The appeals process is not swift, and could take months or more to resolve, all but ensuring that Mr. Trump will remain a felon when voters head to the polls in November.

Before the appellate process even begins, the former president’s lawyers will likely file a motion to set aside the verdict. The bar for that is high, usually involving newly discovered evidence, evidence of juror misconduct or an egregious error by the judge. Legal experts say such a bid would be highly unlikely to succeed.

Then, on July 11, the judge who oversaw the trial will issue Mr. Trump’s punishment. He could sentence Mr. Trump up to four years in prison or impose only probation.

The sentencing, whatever it might be, will trigger Mr. Trump’s long and winding appeals process, starting a 30-day clock for him to file a notice of appeal.

That notice is just a legal stake in the ground. Mr. Trump will then mount his actual appeal, which could proceed on either of two tracks, depending on the sentence he receives.

If he receives prison or jail time, Mr. Trump will likely be released on bail pending the appeal, and his lawyers would have 120 days to file their brief with New York State’s Appellate Division, First Department. If his sentence is probation, his lawyers have six months to file with the court, a deadline that is often extended.

The next step is for the prosecution to respond, which likely would happen several months later.

Once the case is finally in the First Department’s hands, a decision could still take months to emerge. Given the length of the trial — and thus the length of the transcript to be reviewed — the panel of five appellate court judges likely would not hear arguments until next year, and might not issue a decision until late 2025 or even early 2026.

And those judges won’t necessarily have the final say.

If the Appellate Division upholds the conviction, Mr. Trump can seek leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court. If the conviction is overturned, the office of the district attorney, Alvin Bragg, can also seek to take the case to the Court of Appeals.

Mr. Trump might also have a final option: the United States Supreme Court.

That would be a long shot, legal experts said. But in an appearance on Fox News on Friday, the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, argued that the nation’s highest court should take up Mr. Trump’s cause.

“I think that the justices on the court, I know many of them personally, I think they’re deeply concerned,” said Mr. Johnson, a Trump ally. “I think they’ll set this straight, but it’s going to take a while.”

In the wake of the verdict, Mr. Trump appeared to grasp the daunting journey ahead. On Thursday, moments after his conviction, he said somberly: “This is long from over.”

In 2016, she pitched an idea for a real estate program, which later morphed into “Miz and Mrs.”, a successful reality show. This led to the establishment of MadRoe Productions with her husband.

After making an astonishing comeback to WWE in 2022, Maryse managed various endeavors. Yet by 2023, while brainstorming with a prominent network, she rediscovered her initial show concept.

Coming into 2024, the sense of anticipation is palpable as Maryse prepares to bring an almost ten-year-old dream to life. She’s eager to exhibit the results of her pursuit, symbolizing a pivotal moment in her multifaceted and vibrant profession.

”In 2014, as a hobby and investment opportunity, I began looking into real estate and got licensed in California My hobby turned into a love and in 2016 I ended up pitching a real estate show. That idea shifted and transformed into something completely different, MIZ and MRS. With the success of our beloved show, we founded our company MadRoe Productions. In 2017, I returned to WWE, traveled the world. In 2018 and 2019 I gave birth to two beautiful girls, Monroe and Madison. In 2022, once again I had an unexpected return to WWE Between motherhood, WWE, our production company and everything else in between I hadn’t really thought back about my original idea! In 2023, In the midst of pitching ideas to a big network, life came full circle. And here we are in 2024 and an idea that was born nearly a decade ago is about to turn into reality and I cannot wait to share it all with you! ”

Maryse’s story is a testament to her relentless drive and dedication to establishing her own identity. We look forward to seeing the success of her new real estate program.

See first-hand what public transport to the Cricket World Cup on Long Island is like

A loud roar erupts from the crowd at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Saturday afternoon as India easily wins the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup warmup match against Bangladesh by 63 runs.

Another big roar comes when they got a glimpse of the team's superstar, Virat Kohli, who did not play but joined the team on the field for match end handshakes.

It was the capper for the first part of a long day this past weekend where I decided to make the long trip by public transit to the stadium in East Meadow, Long Island, to attend the practice match between two of the teams that will participate in the World Cup.

It was a strikingly sunny day, in the 80s, a little bit hot for a T20 match, but otherwise perfect. The crowd — the majority of them rooting for India and dressed in blue uniforms, waving the national flag — filled about a third of the seats, but they were as loud as a sellout audience. A small contingent of Bangladesh supporters were there, too, dressed in green and red country's colors.

The ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup will be held throughout the month of June, with matches in the Caribbean and — for the first time — in the United States. Eight of the 55 matches of the world's second most popular sport will take place between Monday and June 12 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The finals will take place in Barbados on June 29.

But to get to East Meadow by transportation? It might as well be Barbados, only without the blue water and sandy beaches. The trip takes almost as long as a flight to the Caribbean.

Thinking of making the journey? Read on for a first-hand experience.

This is a travelogue of my experiences traveling to the match.

Early Saturday morning wakeup

6:15 a.m. June 1 After writing several articles about the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup coming to the United States for the first time on a laptop in the comfort of a home office, the moment of truth has arrived — it was actually time to venture out and do some on the ground reporting.

After waking up at 5 a.m., I was out the door of my Jersey City home over an hour later and walking to the bus stop to take the NJ Transit No. 80 bus to the Journal Square Transportation Station to catch the PATH train to Manhattan. According to Google Maps, the trip to the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, where several of the T20 World Cup matches will take place, takes over three hours. Traveling by car would be easier, but where's the fun in that?

While on the bus, the operative word on the brain was "practice." A practice trip to a practice match. And it would turn out, a practice run for the operations around this game.

6:55 a.m. 25-minute bus trip to Journal Square. 19 minutes before the train to 33rd Street departs. There was time to get a buttered roll to accompany a banana and bottled water for breakfast. Ate quickly, then jumped on the train. The trip into Manhattan, just like the Jersey City bus ride, afforded the opportunity to take notes for this story.

7:48 a.m. The PATH train arrives at the 33rd Street station. A walk out into the city streets going west towards Penn Station was again a moment to take in a gorgeous sunny day that would warm to 80 degrees by the 10:30 a.m. game time. Too beautiful a day to work. Then again, was this work?

Going to the match

8:13 a.m. The Long Island Railroad Penn Station to Huntington train departs from Track 17. This is the third leg of the journey to the cricket match with a stop in Westbury. While waiting for info on the track from where the locomotive would disembark, the sticker shock of the $26 round-trip cost was a bit of a jolt after a $1.60 bus fare and $2.75 PATH train fare. Nobody's fault but this writer.

The station was also where there was the first glimpse of cricket fans making their way to the same match. Many were attired in the blue Team India shirts.

On the train making several stops in Queens then Long Island, a trio of cricket enthusiasts dressed casually were seated in front of me.

Subhir Ghosh, 54, who works for the airline Air India and resides in India's largest city, Mumbai, had a day off to travel with his son, Aryan, 20, to the U.S. where he is a student at University of Massachusetts. Ghosh, his son and Ghosh's co-worker Pawal Singh, decided to trek out to see their favorite team. He had no time to stay in New York for the World Cup.

"It's just this one because I need to go back tomorrow. I am pretty much a cricket fanatic, so I don't miss opportunities when I get to see something in which India is playing, I try to make it," Ghosh said.

He said he was surprised that the T20 World Cup had come to the United States as he felt that there was not a huge cricket following in here, beyond the South Asian communities where they are most popular. He sees India, Australia, England and South Africa as the four finalists with India winning it all.

Aryan Ghosh said he wanted to go to a Cricket World Cup match because he had been studying in the U.S. when the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup , which is played in the ODI, or One Day International, format, was taking place last fall in his native India. Singh, who lives in New Delhi, said he felt "very lucky" to be attending.

9:03 a.m. The train arrives in Westbury. Attendees are ushered onto public transit buses that bring them to the stadium after a 20-minute ride. Men and women, young and old, mostly Indian fans in blue waving the country's national flag and others painted in the official colors, some others supporting Bangladesh in the green and red.

The match and afterward

2 p.m. India scored 182 runs while Bangladesh was held to 122. Indian star wicket keeper Rishabh Pant was leading run-getter with 53 runs while Bangladesh's Mohammad Mahmudullah led with 40.

After the match, Deep Bhatt and his neighbor Mahendra Chawal, who came all the way from Edison in Central Jersey, were waiting to see their favorite player, Virat Kohli, who gave them a wave before going to the dressing room. Both felt the 2.5-hour trip was worth it.

"Tough to come all the way out from New Jersey, but at the end of the day, we love cricket and we wanted to see our heroes," Bhatt said.

Chawal called the warmup match "the best opportunity" to see their favorite team in action.

"Nothing beats it. We were sitting right near the players," Chawal said. "We booked the tickets yesterday since we saw it was not selling and decided to go."

They hope to see one match — the big one, India vs. Pakistan — but it is a lot of money.

The state of AI in early 2024: Gen AI adoption spikes and starts to generate value

If 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI (gen AI) , 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology. In the latest McKinsey Global Survey  on AI, 65 percent of respondents report that their organizations are regularly using gen AI, nearly double the percentage from our previous survey just ten months ago. Respondents’ expectations for gen AI’s impact remain as high as they were last year , with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead.

About the authors

This article is a collaborative effort by Alex Singla , Alexander Sukharevsky , Lareina Yee , and Michael Chui , with Bryce Hall , representing views from QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, and McKinsey Digital.

Organizations are already seeing material benefits from gen AI use, reporting both cost decreases and revenue jumps in the business units deploying the technology. The survey also provides insights into the kinds of risks presented by gen AI—most notably, inaccuracy—as well as the emerging practices of top performers to mitigate those challenges and capture value.

AI adoption surges

Interest in generative AI has also brightened the spotlight on a broader set of AI capabilities. For the past six years, AI adoption by respondents’ organizations has hovered at about 50 percent. This year, the survey finds that adoption has jumped to 72 percent (Exhibit 1). And the interest is truly global in scope. Our 2023 survey found that AI adoption did not reach 66 percent in any region; however, this year more than two-thirds of respondents in nearly every region say their organizations are using AI. 1 Organizations based in Central and South America are the exception, with 58 percent of respondents working for organizations based in Central and South America reporting AI adoption. Looking by industry, the biggest increase in adoption can be found in professional services. 2 Includes respondents working for organizations focused on human resources, legal services, management consulting, market research, R&D, tax preparation, and training.

Also, responses suggest that companies are now using AI in more parts of the business. Half of respondents say their organizations have adopted AI in two or more business functions, up from less than a third of respondents in 2023 (Exhibit 2).

Gen AI adoption is most common in the functions where it can create the most value

Most respondents now report that their organizations—and they as individuals—are using gen AI. Sixty-five percent of respondents say their organizations are regularly using gen AI in at least one business function, up from one-third last year. The average organization using gen AI is doing so in two functions, most often in marketing and sales and in product and service development—two functions in which previous research  determined that gen AI adoption could generate the most value 3 “ The economic potential of generative AI: The next productivity frontier ,” McKinsey, June 14, 2023. —as well as in IT (Exhibit 3). The biggest increase from 2023 is found in marketing and sales, where reported adoption has more than doubled. Yet across functions, only two use cases, both within marketing and sales, are reported by 15 percent or more of respondents.

Gen AI also is weaving its way into respondents’ personal lives. Compared with 2023, respondents are much more likely to be using gen AI at work and even more likely to be using gen AI both at work and in their personal lives (Exhibit 4). The survey finds upticks in gen AI use across all regions, with the largest increases in Asia–Pacific and Greater China. Respondents at the highest seniority levels, meanwhile, show larger jumps in the use of gen Al tools for work and outside of work compared with their midlevel-management peers. Looking at specific industries, respondents working in energy and materials and in professional services report the largest increase in gen AI use.

Investments in gen AI and analytical AI are beginning to create value

The latest survey also shows how different industries are budgeting for gen AI. Responses suggest that, in many industries, organizations are about equally as likely to be investing more than 5 percent of their digital budgets in gen AI as they are in nongenerative, analytical-AI solutions (Exhibit 5). Yet in most industries, larger shares of respondents report that their organizations spend more than 20 percent on analytical AI than on gen AI. Looking ahead, most respondents—67 percent—expect their organizations to invest more in AI over the next three years.

Where are those investments paying off? For the first time, our latest survey explored the value created by gen AI use by business function. The function in which the largest share of respondents report seeing cost decreases is human resources. Respondents most commonly report meaningful revenue increases (of more than 5 percent) in supply chain and inventory management (Exhibit 6). For analytical AI, respondents most often report seeing cost benefits in service operations—in line with what we found last year —as well as meaningful revenue increases from AI use in marketing and sales.

Inaccuracy: The most recognized and experienced risk of gen AI use

As businesses begin to see the benefits of gen AI, they’re also recognizing the diverse risks associated with the technology. These can range from data management risks such as data privacy, bias, or intellectual property (IP) infringement to model management risks, which tend to focus on inaccurate output or lack of explainability. A third big risk category is security and incorrect use.

Respondents to the latest survey are more likely than they were last year to say their organizations consider inaccuracy and IP infringement to be relevant to their use of gen AI, and about half continue to view cybersecurity as a risk (Exhibit 7).

Conversely, respondents are less likely than they were last year to say their organizations consider workforce and labor displacement to be relevant risks and are not increasing efforts to mitigate them.

In fact, inaccuracy— which can affect use cases across the gen AI value chain , ranging from customer journeys and summarization to coding and creative content—is the only risk that respondents are significantly more likely than last year to say their organizations are actively working to mitigate.

Some organizations have already experienced negative consequences from the use of gen AI, with 44 percent of respondents saying their organizations have experienced at least one consequence (Exhibit 8). Respondents most often report inaccuracy as a risk that has affected their organizations, followed by cybersecurity and explainability.

Our previous research has found that there are several elements of governance that can help in scaling gen AI use responsibly, yet few respondents report having these risk-related practices in place. 4 “ Implementing generative AI with speed and safety ,” McKinsey Quarterly , March 13, 2024. For example, just 18 percent say their organizations have an enterprise-wide council or board with the authority to make decisions involving responsible AI governance, and only one-third say gen AI risk awareness and risk mitigation controls are required skill sets for technical talent.

Bringing gen AI capabilities to bear

The latest survey also sought to understand how, and how quickly, organizations are deploying these new gen AI tools. We have found three archetypes for implementing gen AI solutions : takers use off-the-shelf, publicly available solutions; shapers customize those tools with proprietary data and systems; and makers develop their own foundation models from scratch. 5 “ Technology’s generational moment with generative AI: A CIO and CTO guide ,” McKinsey, July 11, 2023. Across most industries, the survey results suggest that organizations are finding off-the-shelf offerings applicable to their business needs—though many are pursuing opportunities to customize models or even develop their own (Exhibit 9). About half of reported gen AI uses within respondents’ business functions are utilizing off-the-shelf, publicly available models or tools, with little or no customization. Respondents in energy and materials, technology, and media and telecommunications are more likely to report significant customization or tuning of publicly available models or developing their own proprietary models to address specific business needs.

Respondents most often report that their organizations required one to four months from the start of a project to put gen AI into production, though the time it takes varies by business function (Exhibit 10). It also depends upon the approach for acquiring those capabilities. Not surprisingly, reported uses of highly customized or proprietary models are 1.5 times more likely than off-the-shelf, publicly available models to take five months or more to implement.

Gen AI high performers are excelling despite facing challenges

Gen AI is a new technology, and organizations are still early in the journey of pursuing its opportunities and scaling it across functions. So it’s little surprise that only a small subset of respondents (46 out of 876) report that a meaningful share of their organizations’ EBIT can be attributed to their deployment of gen AI. Still, these gen AI leaders are worth examining closely. These, after all, are the early movers, who already attribute more than 10 percent of their organizations’ EBIT to their use of gen AI. Forty-two percent of these high performers say more than 20 percent of their EBIT is attributable to their use of nongenerative, analytical AI, and they span industries and regions—though most are at organizations with less than $1 billion in annual revenue. The AI-related practices at these organizations can offer guidance to those looking to create value from gen AI adoption at their own organizations.

To start, gen AI high performers are using gen AI in more business functions—an average of three functions, while others average two. They, like other organizations, are most likely to use gen AI in marketing and sales and product or service development, but they’re much more likely than others to use gen AI solutions in risk, legal, and compliance; in strategy and corporate finance; and in supply chain and inventory management. They’re more than three times as likely as others to be using gen AI in activities ranging from processing of accounting documents and risk assessment to R&D testing and pricing and promotions. While, overall, about half of reported gen AI applications within business functions are utilizing publicly available models or tools, gen AI high performers are less likely to use those off-the-shelf options than to either implement significantly customized versions of those tools or to develop their own proprietary foundation models.

What else are these high performers doing differently? For one thing, they are paying more attention to gen-AI-related risks. Perhaps because they are further along on their journeys, they are more likely than others to say their organizations have experienced every negative consequence from gen AI we asked about, from cybersecurity and personal privacy to explainability and IP infringement. Given that, they are more likely than others to report that their organizations consider those risks, as well as regulatory compliance, environmental impacts, and political stability, to be relevant to their gen AI use, and they say they take steps to mitigate more risks than others do.

Gen AI high performers are also much more likely to say their organizations follow a set of risk-related best practices (Exhibit 11). For example, they are nearly twice as likely as others to involve the legal function and embed risk reviews early on in the development of gen AI solutions—that is, to “ shift left .” They’re also much more likely than others to employ a wide range of other best practices, from strategy-related practices to those related to scaling.

In addition to experiencing the risks of gen AI adoption, high performers have encountered other challenges that can serve as warnings to others (Exhibit 12). Seventy percent say they have experienced difficulties with data, including defining processes for data governance, developing the ability to quickly integrate data into AI models, and an insufficient amount of training data, highlighting the essential role that data play in capturing value. High performers are also more likely than others to report experiencing challenges with their operating models, such as implementing agile ways of working and effective sprint performance management.

About the research

The online survey was in the field from February 22 to March 5, 2024, and garnered responses from 1,363 participants representing the full range of regions, industries, company sizes, functional specialties, and tenures. Of those respondents, 981 said their organizations had adopted AI in at least one business function, and 878 said their organizations were regularly using gen AI in at least one function. To adjust for differences in response rates, the data are weighted by the contribution of each respondent’s nation to global GDP.

Breitling’s New Watch Was Inspired by a Balloon Journey Around the World

Up, up, and away!

Every era has its own aeronautical obsession. Around the turn of the 20th century, it was simply getting off the ground. By the ’60s, it was getting to the moon. In the ’90s, it was one of the few unconquered high-altitude feats: a nonstop balloon trip around the globe.

It sounds a little wacky, but this was serious business. The endeavor preoccupied 11 teams that made 21 attempts in all before Bertrand Piccard succeeded on his third try in 1999 with copilot Brian Jones on the Breitling Orbiter 3. The journey covered more than 28,000 miles in just under 20 days. Now, 25 years after that accomplishment, Breitling is celebrating the Orbiter 3 ’s excursion with a new watch: the Aerospace B70 Orbiter .

Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter

The gradated orange dial is inspired by the color of the Orbiter 3 ’s capsule. A dual analog/digital display reflects a ’90s trend that is rare these days, especially in serious watchmaking. The newly created movement, which drives both functions, is the B70, a chronometer-certified SuperQuartz movement with ten times the accuracy of a standard quartz watch. While the analog hands display hours and minutes, the digital readout offers multiple timing functions, including a chronograph that registers increments of hundredths of a second.

But all that function aside, what makes this special edition really special is seen through the sapphire-crystal case back: a circular slice taken from the original Orbiter 3 balloon’s envelope. Which means wherever you take it, this watch—or a part of it at least—has already been around the world.

About the author

Kathryn lasky.

Hi Readers! Thanks for coming by my author page. I've written all sorts of books - from fantasy about animals to books about science and historical fiction. I’m in that historical fiction zone now with my new series Tangled in Time. The Portal is the first book and it explores what happens when a girl, Rose Ashley, feels trapped in her own time. Newly orphaned she is sent live with her slightly weird grandmother whom she has never met, in a new city and a new school where she encounters three bullies known as The Mean Queens. But shortly she will tumble through time and find herself in the 16th century in the service of Princess Elizabeth. I always wondered when I wrote the Royal Diaries, Elizabeth the Red Rose of Tudor what it would be like to serve royalty rather than to be royalty. This led to Tangled In Time, my first time travel series.
