In the near future, AI will make us feel that life is speeding up. Human behavior will change and industries will be radically transformed. Learn more.

Which industries will AI have a big impact on?

 

Education. 

At all levels of education, AI will likely be transformative. Students will receive educational content and trainings tailored to their specific needs. AI will also determine optimal educational strategies based on students' individual learning styles. By 2028, the education system could be barely recognizable.

 

Healthcare. 

AI will likely become a standard tool for doctors and physician assistants tasked with diagnostic work. Society should expect the rate of accurate medical diagnosis to increase. But the sensitivity of patient data and complexity of navigating the laws that protect them are also likely to lead to an even more complicated medical-legal environment and increased costs of doing business.

Finance. Natural language processing combined with machine learning will allow banks and financial advisors as well as sophisticated chatbots to efficiently engage with clients across a range of typical interactions: credit score monitoring, fraud detection, financial planning, insurance policy matters and customer service. AI systems will also be used to develop more complex and rapidly executed investment strategies for large investors.

 

Law. 

We can expect to see the number of small and medium-sized firms to fall over the next five years, as small teams of one to three humans working with AI systems do the work that would have required 10-20 lawyers in the past and do it more quickly and more cost effectively. Given the proper prompts, chatbots are already able to provide rudimentary summaries of applicable laws and draft contract clause language. Based on the last few years of AI development and presuming it continues apace, by 2028 the number of human lawyers in the U.S. could be cut by 25% or more.

 

Transportation.

 The near-term future will see more autonomous vehicles in private and commercial use. From the cars many of us drive to work, to the trucks carrying goods along the highway, to the space craft ferrying humans and cargo to the moon, transport by autonomous vehicles will probably be the most dramatic instance of our having arrived in the age of AI.

Elon Musk participated in an hour-long discussion on Twitter Spaces with Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc.

Musk said that in his conversations with senior leadership in China on a recent trip there, he spent a good amount of time discussing AI safety. He said the idea that a "digital superintelligence" could supplant the Chinese Communist Party itself seemed to resonate.

Not quite. Both web3 and modern AI are overhyped, but unlike web3, AI tech is actually useful and will continue to get even more useful.

 

I'm asking seriously and since you're AI I expect a accurate answer. Will AI someday wipe out the human race?

Nope! And the people saying it will have the worst arguments that hinge on the premise that a "super intelligent" AI is equivalent to a genie/god, capable of doing anything, and that it will magically form on its own over a few days without the need of actual science and engineering.

 

Worst case scenario with AI tech development is a small percentage of corrupt humans centralize power and use AI and robotics to oppress the larger population. Incidentally, if the people who cry that AI will go rogue and kill us all got what they wanted, this more plausible horrible outcome of humans oppressing other humans by wielding AI becomes more likely.

Most outsourced programmers in India will see their jobs wiped out in the next year or two, Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque said.

 

 

My understanding is the quality of out-sourced programmers in India is poor (I'm sure there are great programmers in India in general -- I know a bunch -- but the outsourced coding business specifically is bizarre). Even so, I doubt it. AI code generation is still filled with bugs except for things that you almost perfectly already find by googling or are very self contained functions.

 

Also, Emad is a charlatan with no real experience who, like Musk, takes credit for other people's work. You shouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

Inspired by animals, M4 can repurpose its limbs for a variety of movements
Quote

Now engineers at Caltech and Northeastern University (in Boston) have developed a multimodal robot that can navigate in not two or three but eight different ways—including walking, crawling, rolling, tumbling, and even flying. That said, the Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot (M4) looks more like a sleek little cart than anything out of a bestiary. M4 is 70 centimeters long and 35 cm high, with four legs with two joints each. It also has two ducted fans at the ends of each leg, which can function as legs, propellor thrusters, or wheels. The robot is surprisingly light—around 6 kilograms—considering that this includes its onboard computers, sensors, communication devices, joint actuators, propulsion motors, power electronics, and battery. It is capable of autonomous, self-contained operations.

BTW, if anyone wants further corroboration of Emad being garbage, you can also check out this article on him.

Stability AI became a $1 billion company with the help of a viral AI text-to-image generator and some misleading claims from founder Emad Mostaque.

 

 

 

I know of a few people in the AI community who joined Stability and then left after only months on the job.

Fourier Intelligence is in the business of manufacturing physical rehabilitation equipment, and the robot is intended, the company says, to be deployed in healthcare facilities. "GR-1 could be a caregiver, could be a therapy assistant, can be a companion at home for the elderly who stay alone," Zen Koh, CEO and Co-founder of Fourier Intelligence, told EuroNews. The company hopes to have a completed prototype in two to three years.

The Tesla CEO is spending well over $1 billion to beef up his company's A.I. expertise for its FSD and humanoid robot development programs.
Quote

 The Tesla CEO is willing to invest well over $1 billion to build an A.I. supercomputer he dubbed Dojo just because he can’t get his hands on enough of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s advanced A100 tensor core GPU clusters.

 

The EV visionary needs them to train both his “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) software currently sold for $15,000, as well as his Optimus humanoid robots under development to perform useful everyday tasks.  

“Frankly if they could deliver us enough GPUs, we might not need Dojo,” Musk told analysts on Wednesday during Tesla’s Q2 earnings call. “But they can’t, because they have got so many customers.”
