Today, artificial intelligence is “is the” or “one of the” most important strategic pillars of any industry/business that vendors have been scrambling to promote how their products and services use it. An honest thought comes weren’t organisations or industries using this strategic pillar before this decade?
Artificial intelligence has been in use since the last century, but it’s the buzz these days. It’s just like the concept of cloud computing, which has been been used since years but the term “Cloud Computing” was coined much later. By 2000, solutions developed by Artificial Intelligence researchers were being widely used, although in the 1990s they were rarely described as “artificial intelligence”
While working on formulating the GTM strategy for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) (2009-10) for the retail vertical in EMEA, the employees came across the interesting concept of brain imaging being not only used for product ideation/innovation/improvisation by top FMCG Co’s, but also by top retailers for changing the positioning of products in their store shelves. Wasn’t it artificial intelligence? Obviously it was, but it wasn’t described exclusively as AI
Similarly, while working on GTM Strategy for Automotive Industry (while working in HPE), it was found out artificial ntelligence was the backbone of the overall value chain or the ecosystem (though not described exclusively) with regard to concepts of “Virtual Reality i.e., CAVE 3D Technology” or “Connected Vehicles”
Instead of rushing to showcase or prove we are “Using” or “Providing” Artificial Intelligence related product/services, focus should be on how ethically the power of this strategic pillar can be used to help humanity evolve and become better.
Now, let’s try focusing on what’s in store for us in the near future with regard to artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and its impact is being felt across various industries. The speed at which artificial intelligence (AI) evolves and integrates into our lives is only going to increase in 2024. As companies learn to unlock its potential, individuals use it to boost productivity, and legislators scratch their heads over-regulating it, Artificial Intelligence will become increasingly omnipresent in everything we do
In 2024, we can expect to see significant advancements in AI-driven healthcare, education, cybersecurity, smart cities, customer service, autonomous vehicles, predictive maintenance, supply chain management, and personalization. The following are the top 10 Artificial Intelligence trends for 2024 and beyond, along with a brief explanation of each trend
Exponential Growth in Deep Learning and the next generation of Gen AI: Deep learning is at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence advancements. In 2024, we anticipate a surge in deep learning applications, especially in areas like natural language processing, image recognition, and speech synthesis. This will lead to more sophisticated Artificial Intelligence systems capable of understanding and generating human-like content. The Next Generation of Generative AI is advancing beyond the confines of simple chatbots and whimsical meme generators. We will see Artificial Intelligence systems capable of weaving complex narratives, choreographing musical symphonies, and potentially partnering in the creation of bestselling novels
AI as your partner in Healthcare and Education Takes Center Stage: The healthcare industry is embracing Artificial Intelligence to enhance diagnostics, treatment plans, and patient care. AI-powered systems are expected to analyze complex medical data, predict diseases, and personalize treatment strategies. In 2024, we can anticipate significant breakthroughs in AI-driven healthcare, ultimately improving patient outcomes. The education sector is undergoing a transformation with the integration of Artificial Intelligence. Personalized learning experiences, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated grading are just a few examples of how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping education. In 2024, we can expect further advancements, making education more accessible and effective
Responsible AI and Ethical Considerations: As Artificial Intelligence becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the need for ethical guidelines and responsible Artificial Intelligence practices has never been more critical. In 2024, we expect increased emphasis on transparency, fairness, and accountability in Artificial Intelligence systems, ensuring that the technology is developed and deployed ethically
AI-Powered Cybersecurity: With the increasing number of cyber-attacks, AI-powered cybersecurity is becoming more critical. In 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to play a more significant role in identifying and mitigating cyber threats
AI-Enabled Smart Cities: Smart cities are becoming more prevalent, and Artificial Intelligence is playing a crucial role in their development. In 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to be used to optimize traffic flow, reduce energy consumption, and improve public safety
AI-Driven Customer Service: AI-powered chatbots are already being used to provide customer service, but in 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to play a more significant role in customer service. AI-powered systems will be able to understand customer needs better and provide more personalized service
AI-Enabled Autonomous Vehicles: Autonomous vehicles are becoming more common, and Artificial Intelligence is playing a crucial role in their development. In 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to be used to improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles
AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance: Predictive maintenance is becoming more common, and Artificial Intelligence is playing a crucial role in its development. In 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to be used to predict equipment failures before they occur, reducing downtime and maintenance costs
AI-Enabled Supply Chain Management: Supply chain management is becoming more complex, and Artificial Intelligence is playing a crucial role in its development. In 2024, we can expect Artificial Intelligence to be used to optimize supply chain operations, reducing costs and improving efficiency
AI-Driven Personalization: Artificial Intelligence is already being used to provide personalised recommendations, but in 2024, we can expect artificiali intelligence to be used to provide even more personalised experiences. AI-powered systems will be able to understand customer needs better and provide more personalised recommendations and experiences
The landscape of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and the trends for 2024 promise exciting developments. From healthcare to smart cities, ethical considerations to personalised experiences, artificial intelligence is poised to transform our world. As we embrace these trends, it’s essential to navigate responsibly, ensuring that artificial intelligence benefits humanity while addressing potential challenges. Hopefully, 2024 will see us making headway towards solving some of the thorny issues around this technology. Though barriers to entry due to cost and ease of use may have crumbled in recent years, there are still issues around trust, bias, accessibility and regulation. Let’s look forward to a future where Artificial Intelligence enhances our lives, making them more efficient, personalised, and secure
