What will the future of artificial intelligence look like? In a recent report, Forbes Biweekly website listed five major trends in the development of AI in 2024, which are expected to give the world a brand new look.

Generative AI opens up new land

Generative AI will go beyond the realm of simple chatbots and parody videos. The AI system will be able to write complex narrative articles, arrange symphonies, and potentially coauthor best-selling books with others. A key innovation in this field is multimodal generative AI, which can process various input information such as text, sound, melody, and visual signals, and integrate them for comprehensive understanding.

Imagine, once an AI hears descriptive speech, it can quickly draft a rich and comprehensive article, draw a picture, match it with appropriate background music, and be able to tell it in multiple accents and languages. This multifunctional integration is expected to enrich the content and level of literary works, and bring a variety of sensory experiences to the audience. The boundary between the crystallization of human technology and AI masterpieces will become even more blurred.

In 2024, with the continuous development of multimodal technology, AI models will embrace more complex and diverse interaction scenarios, and are expected to open up new application spaces in fields such as smart homes, smart cities, medical diagnosis, and autonomous driving.

AI Becomes a Human Helper

With the continuous development of technology, AI is no longer just a tool, but the helper of humanity. Surgeons can perform surgery with the assistance of AI diagnostic results. Lawyers can receive reference cases provided by AI during the trial process. Software developers can receive synchronous assistance from AI when writing code.

In addition, with the surge of remote work and online education, AI will completely change course design and optimize virtual team dynamics. In 2024, people will enter an era of synergy between humans and AI, which will greatly improve productivity and production levels.

AI Ethics Get More Attention

The increasing participation of AI in daily life has led to a series of moral issues. How to ensure the healthy, sustainable, and responsible development of AI has become a major challenge facing today’s society.

As AI increasingly provides information for decision-making processes, their operation must be extremely transparent and fair. The current challenge is not only to design fair algorithms, but also to establish strict standards to ensure that these systems and their designers are accountable for their actions.

In addition, how to ensure the inclusiveness and inclusiveness of AI technology? How to promote fairness, impartiality, and non-discrimination in AI technology? These are all questions worth pondering.

With the arrival of 2024, experts predict that people will become interested in AI ethics education and prioritize ethical considerations in the field of AI research and development.

Legislation for AI

The unprecedented development trend of AI and its rapid penetration in various fields not only fascinates technology enthusiasts, but also attracts close attention from global decision-makers.

As 2024 approaches, major economies, including Europe and America, are trying to develop more comprehensive AI policies. For example, the European Parliament plans to reach an agreement on the text of the EU’s AI Act by the end of this year, or at the latest by June 2024. On October 30th, US President Biden signed the first executive order on AI in the United States. US Senate Majority Leader Schumer hopes to prepare AI legislation within a few months.

These policies aim to achieve three goals: promoting technological breakthroughs, attracting global investment, and protecting the public from the savage growth of AI. Internal discussions within the industry indicate that global collaboration on developing AI benchmarks and standards may soon be achieved.

Quantum Computing Adds Wings to AI

Quantum computing has reached the forefront of AI research. Both emerging startups and established technology giants have invested significant resources in developing quantum solutions.

In 2024, people will see the rise of quantum AI, which is derived from the collaboration of quantum computing and AI. Quantum AI utilizes the special properties of quantum computers, such as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, to accelerate machine learning and optimization algorithms, thereby achieving more efficient and accurate AI applications. It will also become an important development direction in the future AI field.
