5 AI Trends Shaping 2023 and Beyond: Leap into the Future

The AI scene has been buzzing, and if you’ve been keeping tabs, you’d know that consumer-ready products like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and IBM Watson are no longer just tech jargon — they’re part of our daily lives. McKinsey’s recent insights suggest that a staggering 50–60% of organizations are already harnessing the power of AI. And if Forbes’ predictions hold true, the AI industry, growing at a CAGR of 37.3%, will be worth a whopping $1.81 trillion by the decade’s end.

But what’s driving this surge? It’s not just about numbers and predictions; it’s about ground breaking technological trends. Here’s a look at some of them:

1. Fortune 500’s AI Love Affair
Miguel Machado of Keenfolks dropped some truth bombs recently. He highlighted the rapid pace at which AI products are scaling. Take OpenAI’s ChatGPT, for instance. Launched in March 2022, it already boasts over 100 million users. Machado believes that the flexibility AI offers will spur innovation, with Fortune 500 companies leading the charge. And with no-code solutions on the rise, integrating AI doesn’t need a tech wizard anymore.

2. Generative AI: The Game Changer
Remember when AI was all about predictions? Well, generative AI is flipping the script. Instead of just recycling data, it’s creating fresh, original content. Whether it’s text, images, or videos, generative AI is at the forefront. Henry Ajder, a generative AI guru, believes we’re just scratching the surface. He envisions a future where synthetic media isn’t just a cool tech trick but a tool that revolutionizes entertainment, education, and accessibility.

3. NLP: Making Machines Chat
Natural Language Processing (NLP) isn’t new, but its applications are evolving daily. From search engines to voice assistants, NLP is making machines more ‘human’. By leveraging tools like language modeling and sentiment analysis, machines are now understanding and responding to us in ways we never imagined.

4. C-Suite’s New Best Friend: AI
Back to Machado’s insights — he sees a trend where top-tier executives aren’t just using AI; they’re relying on it. Especially in sectors like law, HR, and finance, AI is becoming an indispensable tool. And with the democratization of AI through no-code solutions, it’s not just for the tech-savvy anymore.

5. Predictive Models vs. Generative AI
While predictive models have been the backbone of AI applications, focusing mainly on predictions based on existing data, generative AI is the new kid on the block. It’s all about creating new, original content. And in the past year, it’s been making waves, especially in content generation.

In a nutshell, AI’s growth isn’t just impressive; it’s transformative. And as we gear up for the future, one thing’s clear: AI isn’t just a trend; it’s the future. And Nigeria? It’s right at the heart of this revolution.

The Nigerian Perspective

Now, while the global AI trends are fascinating, let’s bring this closer to home. Nigeria, with its burgeoning tech scene and young, innovative minds, is perfectly positioned to ride this AI wave. The country’s tech hubs, from Lagos to Abuja, are buzzing with startups that are not just adopting AI but innovating with it.

Local educational institutions are also recognizing the importance of AI, with many introducing specialized courses and workshops. This focus on education ensures that Nigeria doesn’t just use AI but contributes to its evolution.

Moreover, the Nigerian government’s recent initiatives to support the tech industry signal a brighter future for AI innovations in the country. With potential regulatory frameworks in the pipeline, we can expect a more conducive environment for AI startups to thrive.

In conclusion, as the world stands on the brink of an AI revolution, Nigeria is not just a spectator. It’s an active participant, poised to make significant contributions. The fusion of global trends with local ingenuity promises a future where Nigeria isn’t just following the AI narrative but shaping it. So, to all tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and innovators out there — the future is AI, and Nigeria is right at its epicenter. Let’s embrace it and drive the change we wish to see.

Using AI to write My Thoughts: A Dyslexic’s Journey in Authorship

Using AI to write My Thoughts: A Dyslexic’s Journey in AuthorshipWhy did I write a Book ? a question I got asked by many people and the answer I gave was

“Why not?”

That was the initial thought that sparked my curiosity into the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential in the world of writing and also I like doing things that push my boundaries!

Writing has always been a challenge for me. Dyslexia, with its twists and turns, often made my words come out either just right on paper or entirely a mess. But instead of seeing it as a limitation, I saw an opportunity. If AI could drive cars and diagnose diseases, why couldn’t it help me write my thoughts into a readable book .

It started with a simple goal: Understanding AI and its potential applications in business and in cryptocurrency .I was helped with my team here which provided with a lot of refined information and the deeper I delved, the more I realized the vast opportunities it presented. So I thought here was a tool that could assist countless of individuals in business , art , tasks and individuals like me, who had story / knowledge to tell but faced challenges in putting them down on paper.

The decision was made. I would use AI to write a book! I laughed as I made that decision as I never thought I would say those words. Not just any book, I would use what I was implementing into our business and our clients and help entrepreneurs / individuals who was looking to enhance their income, passion or establish a business. I always had always the belief that if your advising people what to do then you have to do it yourself as a testament to the fact that with the right tools , vision and hustle , anyone can achieve there goals and in my case here become an author.

My team and I embarked on this AI-assisted literary journey, our mission became twofold:

  • Understand application in business and digital asset world.
  • To create a book to help others and share knowledge.

We wanted to share our experiences, our learnings, and the transformative power of AI in the world of writing and in business .In my belief we going to a new era a new industrial revolution .

Reflecting on the past, I was reminded of the scepticism that surrounded emerging technologies like cryptocurrency when we entered it . Many were quick to dismiss it, only to later realize its potential . Similarly, the integration of AI in authorship might raise eyebrows today, but its potential is undeniable.

In conclusion, this isn’t just about writing a book. It’s about breaking barriers, challenging norms, and showcasing the harmonious blend of human creativity with AI’s capabilities. In this era of rapid technological advancement, it’s not just about adapting; it’s about pioneering. I keep emphasizing that we are entering the Threesome in life , we need to understand that the physical , digital and AI will be in all our life and business in next 10 years .

The Magic of Entrepreneurship: Drawing Parallels with Magicians

Ever since I was a child, the allure of magic captivated me. The idea of making the impossible possible resonated deeply, and as I grew older, I realized this is precisely what entrepreneurs embody.

Crazy Ideas Worth Bringing to Life
Magicians defy the laws of physics, leaving us in awe. They chase the wildest, seemingly unattainable ideas. Similarly, entrepreneurs envision ground breaking concepts and bring them to fruition. Both groups invest countless hours in planning, refining, and perfecting their craft for their audience.

Innovation is Key
Magicians constantly evolve their tricks, always seeking ways to enhance and astonish. Entrepreneurs, too, must adopt this mindset. In a competitive landscape, there’s a constant need to innovate, to make products or services more remarkable, and to adopt a problem-solving approach.

Avoid Assumptions
It’s essential not to presume you have all the answers. Instead, remain open to discovering solutions that make processes more efficient and engaging.

Presentation Matters
Magicians rely on costumes, lighting, and sound to enhance their act. Similarly, an entrepreneur’s attire, speech, and overall presentation play a pivotal role. In today’s digital age, personal branding is paramount.

Embrace Challenges
Magicians continually reinvent their acts to retain audience interest. Entrepreneurs, like the magicians of the business world (think Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Steve Jobs), challenge established norms and industries.

Customers are Paramount
A magician gauges success by audience reactions and, in today’s digital world, online reviews. Entrepreneurs should prioritize customer feedback, as it offers invaluable insights. Monitoring sales and understanding customer preferences is crucial.

The parallels between magicians and entrepreneurs are striking. Both groups harness their unique skills to captivate, innovate, and succeed. As I reflect on these similarities, I’m reminded of the importance of passion, persistence, and vision in both realms.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this comparison. Let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
