Just started going through the latest "State of AI Report 2024", and I cannot get over the predictions!
The report predicts major developments in AI over the next 12 months, including a $10B+ investment from a sovereign state into a large US AI lab, triggering national security scrutiny, and a viral app created by someone without coding skills.
It forecasts changes in data collection practices due to frontier labs facing trials, softer-than-expected EU AI Act implementations, and the rise of an open-source alternative to OpenAI GPT-4 outperforming in benchmarks.
NVIDIA’s dominance will remain largely unchallenged, investment in humanoid robots will decline, Apple’s on-device AI research will gain momentum, and a research paper by an AI scientist will be accepted at a major conference.
Lastly, a GenAI-based video game is expected to achieve breakout success.
Yet to go through all 200+ pages... will post summarized thoughts later.
