From chatbots producing impressive copy to businesses using AI to fight climate change. This is how AI could transform in 2023.
Artificial intelligence got creative in 2022, generating impressive text, videos and pictures from scratch. It is also our top tech prediction for 2023. But aside from being a source of fascination, it is also one of fear.
Beyond writing essays and creating images, AI will affect every industry from banking to health care but it is not without its biases, which can prove harmful.
This is how AI may evolve in 2023 and what to watch out for.
Chatbots and competition
At the beginning of 2022, OpenAI launched DALL-E 2, a deep-learning technology that produces images from typed instructions. Google and Meta then launched AI that can produce video from text prompts.
Just a few weeks ago, OpenAI launched ChatGPT 3, which catapulted onto the scene to produce eloquent and well-researched text at the command of a short text description.
Now, the next thing to follow, which could be out in 2023, is of course an upgrade: GPT-4. Like its predecessor, it is rumoured to be able to translate into other languages, summarise and generate text and answer questions, and include a chatbot.
It will also reportedly have 1 trillion parameters, which means it would produce more accurate responses even faster.
But Elon Musk, one of the early creators of OpenAI, has already criticised ChatGPT for refusing to answer questions on specific subjects, such as the environment, because of how it has been programmed.
Another thing to watch out for in 2023 is just how other tech giants will respond to the competition.
Google’s management issued a “code red” when ChatGPT 3 launched over concerns about how it would impact Google’s search engine, according to the New York Times.
