Artificial Intelligence: Everything Everywhere at Once

While AI development traces back to the 1950s, 2023 is a pivotal year in the popularisation of artificial intelligence. The rise of chatbots, especially ChatGPT, prominently marks this shift. Today, AI impacts various industries, including healthcare, finance, education, and medicine, promoting process improvement and resource optimisation.

Let’s delve into an overview of the AI industry, key specialists, and trends for 2024.

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence is a broad term encompassing computer systems capable of perceiving their environment, acquiring knowledge, and taking actions based on their perception and goals.

There are various AI classifications, and we recommend exploring this one, divided into three categories:
1
ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) is considered a "weak" form of AI due to its ability to operate within specific parameters and situations, such as speech recognition or autonomous vehicle control.
2
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) represents a form of general AI comparable to human intelligence, operating independently and interacting with humans on an equal footing.
3
ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) is an artificial superintelligence, potentially surpassing human intelligence; this type of AI does not yet exist.
As of today, all existing forms of artificial intelligence fall under the ANI category, but the development of general AI is anticipated by 2030. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and examine the impact of artificial intelligence in 2023.

AI as the Main Trend of 2023

In 2023, a pivotal shift occurred, making artificial intelligence more accessible to the public, with ChatGPT leading the way. Initially met with scepticism, this chatbot has transformed over the year into a valuable tool in both work and everyday life. It has opened doors for many to experience AI and has become instrumental in helping people tackle a variety of tasks. It marks a significant shift from initial uncertainty to widespread acceptance and seamless integration.
In 2023, artificial intelligence expanded beyond narrow specialisations and became an integral part of various industries; here are some examples of its applications:
  • Мedicine and Healthcare
    AI is used to develop innovative diagnostic methods, predict diseases, and personalise treatments. In January, a group of American researchers presented a deep-learning model capable of assessing the risk of lung cancer through CT scans. 
  • Finance
    In 2023, AI made significant strides in the financial sector, where data analysis and risk prediction systems played a key role in improving decision-making efficiency. For example, American Express adopted artificial intelligence to streamline the credit approval process.
  • Education
    In March, innovative tools like Khanmingo AI were introduced, assisting teachers in preparing lesson plans. Additionally, the accessibility and user-friendly nature of chatbots proved beneficial for students with dyslexia in their learning process.

Top 5 Professions in AI
