What’s in store for 2023 ? 

We’re only a month into 2023 but a lot has happened. Here’s what we think you should be on the lookout for - 

Expect more dance battles between the big players in tech. 

On 7th feb, Microsoft held their press event to officially announce their completely reimagined Bing browser. It leverages the most advanced version of OpenAI’s GPT model, watch the full event here . Less than 24 hours later Google held their own AI event, which did not exactly go to plan but we’ll leave you to be the judge of that .

Nonetheless, Bing is still miles behind Google Search when it comes to market share but Satya is pretty confident that he can make Google dance. Search as we know could be entirely disrupted !

Most definitely Meta, Amazon and Apple are scheming something too !

Every product is going to invest in AI

With the success of ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and other generative AI models every product is going to tinker with AI. Github Copilot has well over 1.5 million developers and Figma’s AI tools are most definitely being used by more than a 1 million users. Notion has rolled out its AI assistant and Microsoft Office will be having ChatGPT like capabilities embedded into its products in the coming weeks.

Institutions will be confused on what to do with AI 

Is it ok to use AI for tasks and assignments ? What checks and balances must be in place ? Who will ban it and who will welcome it ? Should we punish those using it ? 

Jobs will be a looking a bit different

Software engineers, copywriters, designers. No, they certainly won’t be out of work but it’s going to look a bit different for them. 

AI Alignment is going to be needing a lot of aligning

ChatGPT’s alter ego DAN (Do Anything Now) has become quite popular. Opinions on its usage are divided. Take a look for yourself 

Language models accelerating scientific progress

That’s right, we’re definitely going to see some novel scientific discoveries made possible by the most powerful language models out there.

What we think 

We’re probably going to see a shiny new project powered by AI every other week and a lot of other noise. But beyond that we’re witnessing huge implications in business, policy, science and society. This is what we aim to cover.
