🚀 AI Predictions: What to Expect in 2024, According to Stanford Experts?

Next year, 2024, will be exciting for Artificial general intelligence (AGI) or just put it simple – AI! Experts from Stanford University share some interesting things we can expect.

AI Trends for 2024

  • Be prepared for a wave of disinformation and deepfakes. The spread of fake videos and false information will become a major issue;
  • We'll see the first AI agents that can actually do things for us, not just provide help as assistants. AI will become more integrated into our daily tasks;
  • There might be a shortage of GPUs, which are essential parts needed for running LLMs, leading to new inventions in computer tech and hardware;
  • Both the EU and the USA might implement new regulations for a safer and more ethical use of AI. Watch for in-depth discussions on AI's ethical implications and its impact on our daily lives;
  • Regulatory efforts in AI may hit a deadlock due to the challenge of "super alignment" – aligning superintelligent AI's outcomes with human goals.

While the other points are straightforward, let's see a bit deeper into the last prediction – alignment of AI systems

  • The current methods of alignment (ensuring AI goals match human intentions) may fail with the emergence of superintelligent AI;
  • The advent of superintelligent AI, surpassing human intellect in most economically valuable tasks, is drawing closer;
  • Without new methods of "super alignment," significant challenges could arise once these AI entities emerge;
  • To address this, OpenAI and Eric Schmidt have jointly announced a $10 million grant program. Admirable, though it may seem like a PR move.
