Six different ways AI could wow us in 2024

Two letters dominated the tech world in 2023: AI. The breakthrough year for artificial intelligence has given the feeling to many that the future is closer than ever before.

The evolution of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has upended education, medicine and commerce despite continued fears that it would instead trigger the end of the world.

While AI has led such a whirling debate in 2023, can it keep up the pace in 2024, or will it suffer the sophomore slump as regulation, copyright cases, and increased competition emerge?

AI is just one of the major issues that will shape 2024, according to 360info experts.

As the medical world works out how to integrate AI into its Hippocratic framework, the quest to understand the fundamental workings of the human body presses on.

The world’s first precision gene editing therapy approved for use in the UK and US will target sickle cell disease, but despite its high price, it will offer new solutions for age-old illnesses.

As the world reels from the hottest year on record, new and innovative approaches to sustainability continue with hydrogen-powered homes and commercial airlines running on “waste fats and plant sugars” attempting to propel the globe toward net zero emissions.

As commercial aviation shifts toward sustainable fuels, the rocket propulsion industry is set for a bumper year, with as many as 12 missions that could land on the Moon in the next 12 months.

Perspectives on AI

1. It’s a wonderful year for a Moon dance.

A record 12 missions are aiming to explore the Moon in 2024.

2. Gene editing has arrived.

The UK and US have both approved a gene editing therapy to overcome the genetic mutation that causes sickle cell disease, but the treatment is expensive.

3. Hydrogen makes itself at home.

Hydrogen can revolutionise clean energy, transport, decarbonise industrial processes … and cook your dinner.

4. The challenges ahead for generative AI.

Generative AI is upending industries, but little is certain about how this technology will fare amidst a range of issues in a fiercely crowded market.

5. Aviation flying high on alternative sources of power

Transport is one of the world’s biggest polluting industries, but on the path to net zero, aviation is reinventing itself, potentially triggering a new kind of jet age.

6. Will AI replace doctors’ ‘gut instincts’?

Doctors’ intuition plays a key role in healthcare, even when computers suggest another treatment approach. But with AI advancing, is that all about to change?
