Beyond ChatGPT: The Dawn of Ambient AI (and What it Means for Sales)

BRAIN grease 💡⚡
Why Now’s the Time to Take Massive Action

There are two types of people.

Those who make things happen and those who wonder what happened.

Be a doer.

Gartner came up with a concept called the hype cycle, and it has been an accurate predictor of technology.

Gartner Hype Cycle

I disagree with using the Hype cycle when it comes to AI. I has been around a long time, but we are still just scratching the surface of what's possible.

Today Apple shared where their head is it at when it comes to AI.

I knew this would be more than a Siri update with AI. And, where they are going is exactly the confirmation of AI's future.

They are weaving it into everyday life!

This is something known as ambient computing.

Ambient computing blends technology into our surroundings. It enables seamless interactions without direct commands. These include voice, gestures, and environmental cues.

Joe’s Trends & Predictions to Help You

AI will create ambient software and devices. They will leverage tech to add richness to our lives. We will be able to do the same things, just in a different way.

Think of typing. No one rolls out their mechanical typwriter. They don't change the ink ribbon and start clacking at the keys. It’s too inefficient. We instead go to our devices and type. Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple’s Siri are good examples of ambient computing 1.0.

AI will soon bring autonomous agents. I think we won't need keyboards anymore.

Here's some proof.

I went out and became an early adopter of some cool tech. It was from a bunch of ex-Apple engineers who wanted to get a head start in this next wave of AI.

They created a company called Humane, and named their product AI Pin. It’s a phone with an OS called Cosmos. It runs on ChatGPT’s latest model. It looks and acts like something from Star Trek. I can take it to the grocery store and hold up fruit and ask if it's ripe.

Advancements in AI:

Voice Recognition is advancing. Models like OpenAI’s Whisper and Eleven Labs are pushing its boundaries. The models are improving. They are getting better at understanding natural language in real-time.

Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP advancements are enabling more intuitive human-computer interactions. This allows for more complex and context-aware conversations with AI systems.

• Impact to you: When you can interact with systems faster than you can type, typing no longer makes any sense. Who needs a mouse when your computer will respond to your voice and do what you need.

Input Evolution:

Speed of Communication: Humans can speak and gesture faster than they can type. This makes voice and gesture-based inputs more efficient for many tasks.

Future of software:

Smart Interfaces: AI is enabling interfaces that adapt to user behavior and preferences, providing a more personalized and efficient user experience. It will open up the world to be more accessible when people with disabilities don’t have to type or see to experience the world.

Supercomputers and Edge Computing: AI is being integrated into edge devices, like smartphones and smart home devices. This integration is making real-time processing and responses more possible. (NVIDIA’s stock did a 10:1 split today, and there is a lot of gas in their tank).

Security and Privacy Concerns:

If you want another stable career - look here. Continuous listening devices and pervasive computing need robust security & privacy.

People get freaked out with just an iPhone recording their actions. What happens when we can’t see the devices?

Infrastructure and Adoption:

Technology Infrastructure: We need new ways of connectivity beyond 5G.

One of the coolest things I saw today was integrated satellite into the iPhone.

Life is changing, jobs are changing. The age of retraining and retooling to meet the needs of tomorrow, today is right now.

You will always have value if you know how to solve problems and use tools like these to help you.
