AI Trends For 2022 - How Will AI Affect You?
The year is almost at an end, and so it is once again time for the obligatory trends articles (Trends for 2022). We already know that AI is impacting every industry. In past articles I have covered “The tipping point”, the fact that AI is already immersed in our daily lives and with no end in sight. Here I outline seven areas where we can expect a greater involvement of AI in the lives of all of us, in 2022.
Data marketplaces
AI thrives on data, and the rise and ubiquity of AI has placed a yet greater emphasis on the value of data as both a competitive advantage and a core asset to companies and countries alike. This in turn has risen to privacy laws and efforts to educate the public on how their data can be used. These efforts are geared towards giving individuals agency in exercising their data rights. The confluence of these factors is already leading to data marketplaces. Data marketplaces are online venues where individuals and corporations can buy and sell data. Data marketplaces have the potential to combine democratized access, privacy controls and monetization models to enable data owners to benefit from data use.
AI meets the Metaverse
There has been a lot of news lately about the metaverse, a combination of virtual reality, augmented reality, online worlds, personalized experiences and games, that make it possible for individuals to interact, do business, and build personas entirely online. Many companies are racing to develop and own parts of the metaverse, with instances already available to users in popular apps like Roblox. What does this have to with AI? AI has many roles to play in the metaverse, from generating synthetic characters, to creating stories, to optimizing VR experiences.
