THE WORDS 'GRIM' AND 'REAPER' ARE ALREADY BEING TOUTED AS APT DESCRIPTIONS FOR AI.
WE TURN TO CONSULTANCY AND IMPLEMENTATION AGENCY WEAREBRAIN FOR ITS TAKE ON
THE LIKELY FUTURE OF THIS CONTROVERSIAL TECHNOLOGY
IS AI ALREADY BEYOND CONTROL?
There is no denying that AI has
"revolutionised every major industry on
the planet, transforming the way we
live and work", as WeAreBrain states on its
website. Indeed, AI is continually pushing
the boundaries of conventional thinking.
"However, as it becomes more powerful and
autonomous, there is a growing concern
regarding AI control and the potential risks it
poses to humanity," states the consultancy
and implementation agency. "So, are we
really 'summoning the demon', as Elon Musk
eerily predicted? Or should we all just keep
scrolling and let the algorithms do their
thing?
Here is our comprehensive coverage
on what WeAreBrain has to say:
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be
the lifeblood of innovation in our digital
society, global spending is expected to surge
by 120% and hit $110 billion by 2024. This
surge in investment and adoption is largely
a result of the recent GenAI boom, where
everyday netizens are given access to
amazing AI-powered tools designed to push
the boundaries of content creation and
creativity.
With a few simple prompts, anyone can
now write engaging copy, code a website
or application, make music, design art and
images, make videos and create original
content. The possibilities for innovation,
collaboration and creation are seemingly
endless. Let's take a look at the leading AI
trends to supercharge your business in 2024.
LOW-CODE AND NO-CODE AI
By 2024, over 65% of application development
activity is expected to be driven by lowcode
application development. Similar to
low-code/no-code development for websites
or applications, low-code and no-code AI
systems allow users to drag and drop their
way to create smart programs and systems.
By combining pre-built templates and
modules, users simply need to feed the
system with their own domain data to create
a customised AI system tailored to their
needs. This democratisation of AI and IT
helps businesses create AI systems quickly
and affordably, with a faster time to market
and little risk/ROI ratio.
THE PAUSE OF CREATIVE AI
Although AI has been able to produce
creative content like music, art and literature
for a few years now, it has recently levelled
up its ability to mimic human creativity and
expression through art. With Chat-GPT and
GenAI propelling content creation into the
