Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly one of the most transformative technologies humankind has come up with. Especially in the post-pandemic world, where everything is changing- technology is our only savior. It’s anticipated that a yet-to-come full-scale impact from AI will be in full force once the robots are given the ability to think or decide on their own. But, we’ll hold our horses and come back to what we have identified as the top AI trends in 2022.
According to Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google, the impact of AI will be even greater than fire on our species development. However, we are certain that breakthroughs in AI are most likely to change the “normal” in 2022.
Launching AI pilots looks quite easy but deploying them into production is challenging. Although the potential for success is enormous, delivering business impact from AI initiatives takes much longer than you’d anticipate.”
— Chirag Dekate, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner
To keep up with digital transformation and create artificial intelligence solutions that deliver well for our customers, we identified the following AI trends and innovations that will define 2022.
Factors shaping the AI trends for 2022
- Economic growth is at an ever-increasing peak- hence comes the advancements in AI technology for doing business/handling processes.
- Change in the global labor market: With the adoption of automation of processes, the global labor market is also going through an enormous transformation.
- An all-time high in cybercrime: The increasing complexities of adding networks and devices lead to an all-time high cybercrime case around, which also adds to the need to have AI security.
- National AI strategies are emerging: Amidst the global pandemic, AI, VR, and AR have made it possible for people to come closer even after being miles away. There have been national AI adoption strategies to aid the overall situation.
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
1. How is the workforce of an organization going to be affected?
People have always talked about how machines or robots will replace the human population and workforce. This is, in fact, one of the major fears of the ethics and human rights committees around the globe.
Companies are becoming more AI-friendly or familiar with AI technology with consumer behavior and overall global tech pace. The bigger organizations are already using tools that help them determine which leads are worth pursuing in which areas. For instance, in engineering roles, AI tools can help by providing predictive maintenance and alarming people around to have effective machine repairing.
In just about every industry or job role, there are tons of smart tools emerging to help us do our jobs better and more efficiently, and the trend is most likely to continue as augmented workforces.
2. How is AI helping to secure the world, or is it?
According to multiple research studies, the World Economic Forum identifies cybercrime as a major threat than terrorism. This implies that more advanced technologies would pose potential threats for maintaining security, and hence, hacking and cybercrime become more of a problem.
It is a lesser-known fact that the chances of an attacker stealing your data increase with each device you add to your network (even for security purposes).
Artificial Intelligence comes into the picture to ease the points of failure in security maintenance and prevent data hacking. By analyzing network traffic to recognize patterns that suggest nefarious intentions, smarter algorithms play a role in keeping us protected from 21st-century crime. Therefore, we are likely to witness some significant applications of AI here in 2022.
3. How is AI affecting the Metaverse?
Metaverse is a unified persistent digital environment where users are together, sometimes just to enjoy each other’s presence. It’s a virtual world, but with the emphasis on enabling immersive experiences, often created and experienced by the users themselves. The concept became even more popular since Mark Zuckerberg announced combining virtual reality technology with the social foundations of his Facebook platform.
AI will create online environments where humans will feel at home at have their creative impulses nurtured. We shall also most likely become used to sharing our metaverse environments with AI beings (that are usually there to aid our tasks).
4. Low code and No-code AI
One of the major hurdles between an efficient and proper AI adoption is the lack of experts in the area. However, with no-code and low-code solutions, you can aim to overcome the hurdle- simply by offering interfaces that can be used.
No-code AI systems would make way for us to create smarter programs by plugging together different pre-made modules and feeding them with relevant data. Furthermore, the use of NLP and language modeling implies that it soon might be possible to use our voice to order or instruct AI (and nothing more than that).
5. How is AI aiding the rise of Autonomous Vehicles?
AI is the “brains” to guide autonomous cars, boats, and aircraft set to revolutionize travel over the coming decade. As well as increasingly effective autonomous cars – Tesla mentions that its vehicles are likely to demonstrate full self-driving capability by 2022. However, these might not be given for general use. Competitors like Waymo (created by Google), Apple, GM, and Ford are also in line to announce major leaps forward in the next year. You can also expect to see the first autonomous ship crossing the Atlantic- the Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS), powered by IBM, finally attempting to start its journey again.
6. How will Artificial Intelligence affect the creative field?
Several artists and creators use Artificial Intelligence to create art, plays, and even video games. However, it is anticipated that newer models of AI would lead to redefining the boundaries of creativity for robots. For instance, models like the GOT-4 combined with Google’s Brain lead to more seemingly natural outputs from AI.
Creativity is often seen as a human skill. We are now witnessing such capabilities emerging in machines implies that we are coming closer in terms of scope and function to real intelligence.
Predictions (in a snippet):
- Growth of neural networks that help robots think.
- Better Hiring Practices through the adoption of automation and AI.
- AI ethics as a strategy practice.
- AI in gastronomy to take a rise.
In all, we are quite optimistic about the research and outcomes in favor of Artificial Intelligence. It shall be particularly useful for advances in general-purpose service robots capable of a robust perception and communication in a natural language.
