The rise of artificial intelligence (everywhere)

Thread on Metatrends in the coming decadešŸ§µ
1/ Everything is Smart and Embedded with Intelligence

The price of specialized machine learning
chips are dropping rapidly as global demand
increases.
At the same time, expanding 5G networks coupled with ever-increasing compute on the cloud, means weā€™re heading towards a future in which all devices in our environment will become intelligent and interactive.
Your childā€™s toy remembers his or her face and name and will simultaneously teach your child about the world (likely better than any human could)T his Metatrend will impact a multitude of industries from retail, security, health, industrial, transportation networks and education.
2/AI Will Achieve Human-Level Intelligence - Technologist Ray Kurzweil famously AI will achieve human levels of intelligence. in 2029. In mid-2022, Elon Musk also predicted that AI would grow, ā€œVastly smarter than any human and would overtake us by 2025."
In the coming decade, AI algorithms and machine learning tools will be increasingly made open source (thanks in large part to @EMostaque 's and others pushing to make AI a public good).
Thereby allowing any individual with an internet connection the ability to amplify their creativity, improve their problem-solving skills, and increase their earning capacity.
This Metatrend will be driven by the convergence of massive amounts of cloud computing, a large supply of labeled data, and global high-bandwidth connectivity. Healthcare, education, entertainment, design, finance, and retail will be significantly impacted.
3/ AI-Human Collaboration Will Skyrocket Across All Professions

The rise of ā€œAI as a Serviceā€ (AIaaS) platforms will enable humans to partner with AI in every aspect of their work, at every level, and in every industry.
AI will become entrenched in everyday business operations, serving as cognitive collaborators to employees -supporting creative tasks, generating new ideas, and tackling previously untenable innovations. In some fields, partnership with AI will become a requirement.
For example, in the future, making certain medical diagnoses without the consultation of AI may be deemed malpractice.
Authors will write their blogs, stories, and books in partnership with algorithms like GPT-3 / GPT-4. Artists and designers will use DALLE-2 & Stable Diffusion. Software programmers and engineers will partner with AIs to produce code and
engineer prototypes.
4/ Most Individuals Utilize a ā€˜JARVIS-Likeā€™ Software Shell to Improve
Their Quality of Life

As services like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Homepod increase their capabilities, they will expand to become part of our lives 24/7, serving as our interface with the world around us.
Imagine a JARVIS-like ā€œsoftware shellā€ that you give permission to
listen to all of your conversations, read your email, and monitor your blood chemistry.
With access to such data, these AI-enabled software shells will learn your preferences, anticipate your needs and behavior, shop for you, monitor your health, and help solve your problems in support of your goals.
Imagine the worldā€™s best ā€œexecutive assistantā€ who is all-knowing and almost psychic as it meets all of your needs and desires.

AI is just one of the technologies that will have a profound impact on humanity. Exciting years are ahead. Stay positive. Keep building to uplift.
