Are we in the future yet?

Hyper is a thought-provoking platform. Sometimes we do a conference, sometimes we bring like-minded people to a pub, just to network and chat.

From 2024 on, we will see AI driving most of the conversations, at the workplace, in the government, and in pubs.

Here are some insights on what's going on, and predictions for the next years in machine learning, immersive computing, and entertainment industries:

As artificial intelligence continues to advance and make inroads into various industries, Hollywood's major labour unions have taken proactive steps to address its potential impact. The guilds and unions have all incorporated AI restrictions into their respective contracts. This move represents the first significant effort to establish regulatory guidelines surrounding the use of AI technology in the entertainment industry.

AI is no longer limited to static images or text - it has now ventured into the realm of filmmaking. This breakthrough opens up exciting possibilities for the entertainment industry, allowing AI to assist in various aspects of the movie-making process, from generating initial concepts and storyboards to rendering visual effects and animations. However, the use of AI in this domain also raises questions about creative authorship, and the potential impact on human artists and filmmakers.

More Moore:

While computing power advanced steadily by Moore's Law, artificial intelligence may experience explosive exponential growth. Better data, computing power, and algorithms will supercharge AI. But AI can also improve itself, creating a feedback loop that accelerates AI capabilities rapidly. This self-driven "intelligence explosion" would massively disrupt industries in unpredictable ways - it's not a question of if, but when the major AI disruption will happen across sectors. Experts are mapping potential timelines for when AI could revolutionize each industry.

What should we do?

AI is becoming extremely useful for workers who deal with knowledge and information. Next. we'll see AI assistants made specifically for different professional fields. Companies with industry data can use it to create powerful, specialized AI agents.

Then, Gen AI will be integrated into many consumer apps and software. Instead of clicking menus and typing keywords, AI assistants will guide users with voice and natural conversations. Personalized AI help will be woven into digital experiences, changing how people interact with information.

AI capabilities will also become more localized in devices like wearables, smart home gadgets, and more. These devices may embed AI to understand and execute complex voice commands, with large language AI models potentially replacing traditional operating systems.

And...

The prospect of artificial superintelligence (ASI) - an AI system that surpasses human intelligence across all domains, including creativity, general wisdom, and problem-solving - is both exhilarating and daunting. While the timeline for achieving ASI is uncertain, its implications are profound. An ASI could help solve humanity's greatest challenges, from climate change to disease and poverty. However, it also raises concerns about existential risk if not developed and controlled responsibly. As AI capabilities rapidly advance, we must carefully contemplate the ethical frameworks, safety measures, and governing policies needed to ensure ASI's immense potential benefits outweigh its risks. Thoughtful collaboration between AI researchers, ethicists, policymakers, and the public will be crucial in preparing for an ASI-driven world that could fundamentally redefine what it means to be human.
