INFORM GmbH Predicts Transformative AI Trends Set To Shape 2024
AI leader INFORM GmbH has released its predictions for the transformative AI trends that will have a significant impact on various industries and societal practices in 2024 and beyond. The rapid growth of AI technology, coupled with increasing human adoption, is set to revolutionize the way we live and conduct business.
Dr. Jörg Herbers, CEO of INFORM and an expert in AI and cloud transformation, believes that as AI technology continues to advance at an impressive pace, human adoption is catching up. This is evident in the proliferation of AI across languages, imagery, and sound processing, which is leading to greater user acclimatization and increased use of these technologies.
Here are seven key transformational AI trends identified by INFORM for 2024:
1. Intuitive AI usage: Inspired by industry visionaries, including former Apple designer Jony Ive, there is a paradigm shift in human-AI interaction. The aim is to create a more natural user experience, moving away from screen-centric interfaces. This trend reflects a broader push for seamless integration of AI into our daily tools, enhancing the way we work, communicate, and interact with technology.
2. Generative AI integration: AI is increasingly becoming an integral component of software products. INFORM predicts that generative AI will embed itself as a co-pilot across various platforms, enhancing user interaction and functionality in multiple industries.
3. Human-AI interaction: AI’s role is evolving from a standalone tool to a collaborative and assistive partner. This shift is seen in products like Microsoft Office, Apple’s iPhone, and INFORM’s optimization and decision-making software. Users can expect AI to become a crucial part of their iterative workflows, from creative pursuits to engineering solutions.
4. Expansion into new domains: The success of AI models in text and image processing will lead to a focus on video-to-text AI, offering new ways of learning from everyday human activities. Additionally, AI systems will be trained on more diverse and representative data, enabling transformative applications in domains like protein folding or dynamic business process optimization.
5. Data Democratization: The release of open-source datasets, such as BMW Group’s SORDI, demonstrates a shift towards open data ecosystems. By sharing high-quality production data, organizations can foster collaboration and drive AI innovation. This approach ensures a more equitable future where data fuels progress for all.
6. Greater emphasis on Cybersecurity: The widespread availability of AI tools has inadvertently led to an increase in phishing attacks. Advanced cybersecurity measures are essential to counter the sophisticated threats posed by malicious AI utilization. Heightened vigilance and robust ethical frameworks are crucial for protecting against potential misuse of AI.
7. Ethical AI: The unauthorized use of deepfake technology in advertisements raises ethical concerns. As AI capabilities advance, so does the potential for misuse. Regulatory frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, US President Biden’s Executive Order on AI, and the G7’s Hiroshima Process, are expected to guide the responsible development and deployment of AI.
Dr. Jörg Herbers expressed INFORM’s commitment to shaping the future of AI for business optimization while advocating for responsible and ethical AI development. The company recently published Responsible AI Guidelines to further support this commitment.
