Important Takeaways:

• • We asked top AI chatbots for their predictions for 2024… and it produced some VERY alarming results
  • From ChatGPT taking the world by storm to sparking historic Hollywood strikes. Artificial intelligence had its break out year in 2023.
  • So what’s in store for the cutting-edge tech in 2024? DailyMail.com asked the leading AI chatbots to predict their own fate – Google’s Bard and Amazon-backed Claude – and got some very alarming results.
  • AI systems might start reasoning by themselves
    • ‘Techniques like deep learning and neural networks running on powerful computing infrastructure have driven these leaps forward. Major investments from big tech companies and startups suggest the pace of innovation isn’t slowing anytime soon.
    • ‘And some AI researchers anticipate that we’re now closer to “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) – algorithms that can match humans’ flexibility and adaptability across different environments and tasks.
    • ‘Groups like DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, and Anthropic are pushing towards this goal of AGI.
  • Biotechnology will ‘upgrade’ humans
    • The AI suggested that these could include breakthroughs in ‘Brain Computer Interfaces’, where human brains connect to computers.
    • Elon Musk’s Neuralink is set to test such technology in volunteers in the coming year.
    • ‘Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) could allow direct communication between the brain and computer systems, enabling control of prosthetics, external devices, or even virtual environments. Potential applications include communication for individuals with paralysis, enhanced creativity and productivity, or even brain-to-brain communication.’
  • Dawn of personalized medicine
    • ‘Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, aims to tailor treatments and preventive strategies to the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors of each individual. In this quest, AI is emerging as a game-changer, powering breakthroughs across various aspects of healthcare:
    • ‘By deciphering vast amounts of genetic data, AI can identify risk factors for specific diseases, allowing for proactive interventions and personalized prevention plans
    • ‘AI can mine Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to uncover hidden patterns and connections between symptoms, medications, and outcomes, leading to more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment recommendations.
    • ‘AI can analyze patient data and predict how they might respond to different treatments, helping doctors choose the most effective and least harmful options for each individual.’
  • Election hacking warning
    • With the Presidential election looming in the U.S., Google’s Bard predicted that malicious actors will try to undermine the election using technology.
    • ‘Malicious actors might target voter registration databases, voting machines, or election results reporting systems to disrupt the voting process, sow doubt in the outcome, or manipulate results.
  • Tensions with China rise
    • Anthropic’s Claude predicts that tensions between the U.S. and China will continue to rise in 2024.
    • Taiwan remains one of the most contentious issues. China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that should be reunified with the mainland, by force if necessary.
    • But Taiwan has evolved into a distinct, democratic society with its own identity. The US has historically supported Taiwan’s right to self-determination and supplied arms for its defenses, raising tensions with China.
    • If Taiwan makes moves towards formal independence in 2024, that could provoke more aggressive posturing or even military action from China.’
