Issue 2: Collective generative AI predictions for 2024
Introducing the Time Under Tension Collective and their generative AI predictions for 2024
TL;DR
In this second newsletter we’re excited to share the Time Under Tension Collective with you. Over the past few months we’ve been collaborating with the brightest generative AI brains in Australia. These fine folk are now part of the Time Under Tension Collective, each bringing their unique perspective to the generative AI boom. We’re delighted to introduce them here, and share their insightful generative AI predictions for 2024.
2024 Generative AI Predictions
Ben | Beyond Conversational | “We all know how to chat. It’s the ultimate interface with human-to-machine instruction and dialogue. Or is it? Customer experience and interface design will have a much-needed shakeup as real-time personalisation can truly be achieved. Will the hamburger menu be no longer? Will everyone’s homepage be their page? I’m looking forward to breakthrough interfaces that are multi-modal ingesting type, speech, vision and more. With the much needed ability to pickup where we left off we’ll trigger an exciting new chapter in interaction design”
Jackson | Big strides towards AGI | “OpenAI's second DevDay comes with an announcement regarding a big leap forward in AGI. (Q* algorithms make LLMs excellent at solving math and logic problems) Rather than LLMs being able to "predict" the answer using the most likely next token, LLMs can now use reasoning capabilities to deduce the answer with a high amount of accuracy. This would mean that we could truly leverage the power of generative AI to help us solve problems in physics, math, medicine, and biology”
Tim O | AI personality tests | “In 2024, I predict the creation of a “Myers-Briggs” test for AI’s, such that people can choose an AI assistant that is the best fit for their personality. Very soon, every LLM will be insanely clever to the point where the established technical benchmarks are meaningless (“95% on the MMLU!”, “169 billion parameters!”, “2001k context window!”). My prediction: a new benchmark will be created, one that measures not how clever your AI is, but its personality and behaviour” | Read the full prediction
Tim F | AI Adoption Paralysis | “In 2024, despite the growing availability of advanced generative AI, many businesses will struggle to effectively use these technologies. Overwhelmed by the vast choice and fast-paced evolution of AI, companies will face indecision in adopting AI. This trend suggests a need for a more informed approach to AI adoption, focusing on education, gradual integration, and strategic partnerships. Without this, many businesses risk missing out on AI's transformative benefits due to indecision and poor planning” | Read the full prediction
Hayley | Generative AI drives healthier lives | “My predictions for 2024 are around the shift in how we can (hopefully) uplevel our health and wellness. There will be greater interconnectivity between AI, apps, and wearable tech, giving us proactive tools and tips to level up our sleep, diet, food and movement to achieve our health and wellness goals. Imagine your Oura ring, Noom, Outlook and gym tracker all talked to one another. Based on your readiness score, you were able to easily alter your macros for the day, adjust the type and difficulty of your workout and switch around your meetings and tasks to match your energy and alertness level”
Simon | Multimodal marketing | “2024 is the year AI-generated content puts on its serious pants. With Open AI's recent releases, Google Gemini on the way, and who know what next, there will be some mind-boggling opportunities for savvy marketers and content creators. The big one will be multimodal marketing and content - being able to strategise, conceptualise and create with a single prompt, bringing together knowledge bases, latest data, text, images, video, speech and sound to produce interactive, engaging and immersive content. I'm also excited about storytelling with image generators. And if all my predictions are wrong, I can always build an army of AI TikTok Influencers”
Fiona | Rise of the AI Designer | “2024 is going to bring about the rise of the AI designer. A brave new brigade who will not only look for ways these tools can augment their practice and expand their capabilities (and their teams) but also contribute to a bigger conversation about the role designers can play in building thoughtful, useful and ethical AI empowered products”
Brad | Real world applications | “We are going to move away from cool experiments to real world applications. When the iPhone was launched there was a handful of “fun” apps that showcased its features. Remember the beer app or the lightsaber app. Before long we saw just how useful the accelerometer could be. AI will be ubiquitous. We are already seeing AI integration with a handful of apps and even in the UI in Windows. Many users understand the power of ChatGPT but it will reveal its true potential when it is integrated into the products we use every day. This will lead to a decline in the use of the ChatGPT app itself”
Josh | AI-driven platforms | “In 2024, Generative AI could revolutionise business models by enabling the creation of entirely new industries and services. Imagine AI-driven platforms that can autonomously run businesses, from market research to product development, marketing, sales, and customer service. These AI systems could potentially start and manage their own companies, entering markets with high-speed efficiency and minimal human oversight” | Read the full prediction
Jason | Metaverse reborn | “What do you get if you combine powerful VR/AR tech (like the recently released Oculus Quest 3, and soon to be released Apple Vision Pro) with generative AI text-to-3D capabilities? A powerful combination, unlike any seen before! Imagine instructing Apple Vision Pro to “take us back to Bali holiday 2019” to be immersed back in a lifelike memory from past, or “take me to the meeting room” to be immersed in a meeting room with your colleagues, all with a few simple voice commands, with generative AI constructing the immersive 3D worlds on the fly. Exciting stuff, made easy with generative AI” | Read the full prediction
