Today, we’re talking about trends in AI for 2024. Here’s what I’m expecting to see over the next year:
1. Training data attribution
We’ve already seen plenty of high-profile lawsuits and API changes around the data used to train AI. I expect we will see a lot of progress on identifying what data was used and when, by a model. I also think we’ll discover that lots of media is copied from somewhere.
2. Proactive AI
Most of the popular use cases for AI like ChatGPT, rely on you starting the conversation with a question. I expect we will soon see assistants making suggestions based on environmental context, without needing to be asked.
3. Open Source Dominance
Although I doubt the most powerful models will be completely open, I do think that open-source distribution will accelerate in 2024. Mirroring the Android mobile operating system’s broader popularity over Apple’s walled garden; it’s easiest to distribute free and I expect similar patterns in the AI market.
Best of luck out there.
