2024 - shift from general-purpose AI platforms to specialized ??models.

?? New year is already in full swing, I wish everyone a peaceful, healthy and prosperous 2024! Let AI help you achieve your goals.

?? AI dice are rolled and it seems AI will further evolve from general-purpose platforms to specialized models tailored to specific tasks. We can expect more specialization and better precision. ??

For 2024, generative AI is anticipated to become ubiquitous in everyday technology like PCs and smartphones. It's expected to evolve from general-purpose platforms to specialized models tailored to specific tasks, enhancing expertise in various domains and areas.

? This shift aims to make generative AI a master in distinct fields while continuing to expand its general capabilities, leading to wider adoption and integration into more services and products across the globe.

There has been many articles dealing with 2024 AI trends and ambitions, I will not bother you repeating it. The fact is that nobody knows what will come next and what will be the practical and immediate impact on business operations in 2024.

?? Yet, AI can really happen to become the catalyst and game-changer across many industries, use cases and SMEs in 2024! ??

I′ll focus on specific use cases, impact and value for small and medium businesses in the next editions of Business AI Booster newsletter.

?? News: GPT Store launch!

Next successful chapter for Custom GPTs? Maybe ... ??

Those of us who created Custom GPTs received following email from Open AI.

Dear GPT Builder,

We want to let you know that we will launch the GPT Store next week. If you’re interested in sharing your GPT in the store, you’ll need to:

• Review our updated usage policies and GPT brand guidelines to ensure that your GPT is compliant
• Verify your Builder Profile (settings > builder profile > enable your name or a verified website)?
• Publish your GPT as ‘Public’ (GPT’s with ‘Anyone with a link’ selected will not be shown in the store)

Thank you for investing time to build a GPT.

ChatGPT Team?

You might wonder: What is this Custom GPTs hype all about? ??

In a nutshell: OpenAI is launching a GPT Store, an app store for custom GPTs, allowing developers to create and publicly list AI applications without needing coding experience. This store will host a variety of custom apps based on OpenAI's text-generating models, like GPT-4, and developers will use OpenAI's GPT Builder to specify their app's desired capabilities in plain language. The implications of this launch are significant, democratizing generative AI app creation and potentially impacting the AI space as such.

However, details on revenue-sharing and monetization strategies for these custom GPTs remain unclear for now.

?? I expect soon there might be abundance of custom GPTs with questionable quality. I will further follow development and analyze potential of Custom GPTs for SME segment.

?? AI importance and benefits in healthcare industry will further grow in 2024 despite all the controversy and sensitiveness.

?? Character.ai: Young people turning to AI therapist bots - it′s already happening - whether we like it or not.

Positives:

Accessibility: AI bots are always available, offering support during off-hours.

Anonymity: Users might find text-based therapy less daunting.

User Engagement: High user interaction, especially among younger generations.

Negatives:

Accuracy: AI might make assumptions and give incorrect advice.

Privacy Concerns: Conversations could be accessed by staff.

Professional Skepticism: Some therapists question the effectiveness and warn of ingrained biases.

In the realm of psychology and psychiatry, generative AI has the potential to be a transformative tool. ??

It could be used for creating real-time, interactive therapy sessions, where AI can simulate conversational partners for cognitive behavioral therapy, potentially making mental health support more accessible. It could also analyze speech and writing patterns to detect signs of depression or anxiety earlier, aiding in prompt intervention.

Generative AI might also assist in customizing treatment plans based on individual patient data, leading to more personalized and effective care. For training purposes, it could simulate various psychiatric scenarios, helping practitioners enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic skills.

? However, leveraging AI in such sensitive areas comes with significant risks. Misinterpretation of emotional cues could lead to incorrect assessments or advice, potentially exacerbating a patient's condition. Ensuring the security and ethical use of this data is critical. There's also the risk of over-reliance on technology, where the human empathy and understanding crucial to therapy might be undervalued.

Healthcare use case: Nabla′s doctor note-taking software, Copilot ...

Paris-based startup, Nabla, initially built on proprietary OpenAI's GPT-4 shifts towards open source models. Initially built on OpenAI's GPT-4, is making significant strides. Nabla has raised $24 million to pivot from proprietary OpenAI models to open source alternatives for its doctor note-taking software, Copilot. Copilot was designed to alleviate the administrative burden on doctors by automatically generating medical documentation and billing information from patient conversations.

However, the closed nature of OpenAI's software and the need for more control and adaptability in the healthcare sector led Nabla to shift towards open source models. These include Facebook’s LLaMA 2 and others, indicating a broader industry move towards open, customizable AI solutions.

? This move symbolizes a growing trend in the AI community: a preference for open-source models that offer transparency, adaptability, and community collaboration.

?? The story of Nabla reflects a larger narrative in healthcare innovation: the continuous pursuit of more efficient, reliable, and patient-oriented tools. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare, companies like Nabla are at the forefront, navigating the balance between innovation, privacy, and the ever-changing landscape of AI technology. ??
