In 2024, the field of artificial intelligence is expected to witness a rapid and remarkable improvement, characterised by advancements in technology that enable AI to generate new media types, emulate human reasoning, and extend into the physical world through advanced robots. Key developments include AI-powered image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney producing instant videos alongside still images, the convergence of chatbots and image generators into multimodal systems, improved reasoning abilities in chatbots for complex tasks in areas like mathematics and science, the evolution of chatbots into AI agents capable of handling diverse software apps and websites, and the enhancement of robots’ capabilities to handle complex, previously unseen tasks. AI companies, such as OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others, are expected to play a pivotal role in driving these advancements through the rapid development of neural network-based technologies.
