Abstract	Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly transforming knowledge-based industries by changing how organizations create, process, communicate, and apply knowledge. Unlike conventional automation, which primarily focuses on predefined and repetitive tasks, GenAI can generate text, images, software code, summaries, analyses, designs, and other forms of content. Its growing adoption across professional services, education, healthcare, finance, media, research, consulting, legal services, and information technology is reshaping workflows, occupational roles, organizational structures, and competitive strategies. This study examines the transformative impact of GenAI on knowledge-intensive industries and evaluates its implications for productivity, innovation, human capital, decision-making, and organizational performance. A qualitative and conceptual research methodology is employed through a review of research literature and contemporary developments in artificial intelligence and knowledge work. The analysis indicates that GenAI can reduce the time required for routine knowledge tasks, improve access to information, support creative activities, and enable employees to focus on higher-value responsibilities. However, its adoption also creates challenges involving inaccurate outputs, algorithmic bias, intellectual-property concerns, data privacy, cybersecurity, workforce displacement, skill erosion, and excessive dependence on automated systems. The study argues that the greatest organizational value is likely to emerge from human-AI collaboration rather than complete automation. Future-ready organizations will require AI literacy, continuous reskilling, robust governance, human oversight, and redesigned workflows. The study concludes that GenAI represents not merely a new technological tool but a structural transformation of knowledge production and organizational work.
