YOUR SNEAK PEEK INTO 2024's GROUND-BREAKING AI TOOLS
Generative AI was the
explosive breakout tech trend of 2023, capturing the attention of not only
techies and futurists but mainstream audiences, too, with its ability to create
seemingly human-like content.
With tech giants including Microsoft, Google and Meta pouring their apparently limitless resources into the technology, we can expect equally game-changing innovation in 2024.
Bigger And More Powerful Models
Electoral Interference
In 2024, we will see leadership elections in many countries,
including the USA, UK and India. I'm quite confident we will see generative AI
used to spread misinformation and disrupt the political process. This is
likely to be through the use of ever-more convincing deepfakes, as well as the
use of tools such as ChatGPT to generate huge amounts of propaganda and
distribute it at scale. Of course, politicians and parties will also use it to
generate personalized campaign messages and emails.
Generative Design
Another field where we can expect to see generative AI rapidly
adopted is in the design of physical products and services. Generative design
is the name given to an emerging breed of tools that allow designers to simply
input requirements and available materials and be given blueprints and recipes.
Design platforms such as Autodesk are incorporating generative AI functionality, allowing product
designers to rapidly generate any number of prototypes as digital twins and
testing them in parallel in order to come up with more robust, effective or
sustainable product designs.
Generative Video
Video is the preferred media format among the younger
generations, so it comes as no surprise that AI toolmakers have been quick to
come up with tools that tap into this trend. Creation of video content has
traditionally been expensive, mainly due to the need to hire a trained human
professional to create, capture or edit footage. With generative video tools,
anyone will be able to produce professional-looking video content for a
fraction of the price in 2024.
Generative Audio And Speech
As with video and design tools, 2024 will be the year when
AI-generated audio and speech become as ubiquitous as AI-generated words and
pictures have become in 2023. I expect to see the subtly robotic qualities that
are still usually detectable in all but the most sophisticated AI-generated
speech start to vanish as tools become better at simulating the tones and
inflections that make up human speech.
5 Multi-Modal Models
Most generative AI tools, algorithms and LLMs specialize in
simulating one “mode” of expression – language, visuals, or sounds, for
example. The trend, however, is towards “multi-modal” generative AI. The coming
version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT will be capable of understanding and interpreting
images, as well as taking voice commands and talking back to us. Meta has also a model that can pull together images, text,
audio, depth, and inertial data. This is something that will become more common
over the next year, and it should soon be normal to be able to talk to an AI
about a picture or a video in the same way we can talk to it about text today.
Prompt Engineers In High
Demand
"Prompt engineers program" generative AI
systems by describing what they want them to do in the terms most likely to
lead to optimal results. It’s been described as “the hottest new job in tech”
in 2023, and demand for it is likely to grow in 2024. The job has also been
called “AI whispering” as it’s about being able to coax the best out of systems
that can occasionally seem complex, incomprehensible and intimidating.
Autonomous Generative AI
Autonomous Agents is a term being used to describe a class of
generative AI applications that effectively operate themselves by continuously
generating and responding to prompts. By doing this, they are able to carry out
more sophisticated operations than chatbot-style generative agents, which
simply respond to a prompt and then wait for the user to tell them what to do
next. One well-known example of an autonomous agent that emerged during 2023 is autoGPT. In 2024, I expect to see further progress in this
field as AI engineers continue the quest for “generalized” AI that can turn
it’s hand to any job we set it.
Generative AI-Augmented Apps
And Services
By 2024, 40 percent of enterprise applications will come with conversational AI as an embedded feature, according to AIM research. We see it happening already with developers like Microsoft and Adobe practically falling over themselves to build chatbots and natural language interfaces into their platforms. Popular social messaging app Snapchat adds a generative AI bot to its users' contact lists that they can use to get answers to questions or just treat as a virtual friend. In 2024, anyone who sells apps is going to be adding chat interfaces to improve engagement and customer experience.
Generative AI in Schools And
Education
During the last century, traditionalists railed against the
introduction of electronic calculators in classrooms, predicting students would
become over-reliant and unable to do basic calculations without them. What
actually happened was students became capable of doing far more advanced
calculations at a younger age. Calculators then became so universal that the
question of whether we could cope without them became moot. We will see similar
debates around the use of generative AI by students during 2024. Teachers and
lecturers, meanwhile, will grow used to using it to generate notes, reports,
lesson plans and course summaries.
In conclusion, Generative AI is an incredibly powerful tool that will play an important role in democratizing access to the transformative potential of AI. And I believe everyone needs to be aware of what's coming in order to carefully consider the impact it will have on our lives.
