According to experts in the field of artificial intelligence, the future of AI assistants will lie in their ability to 'interact in innovative ways' with humans. However, according to some experts, real interaction with chatbots is still years away.
Until a year ago, few people had heard of Chat GPT and the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots Bard and Llama, which promised to make the world more efficient but could potentially put millions of people out of work. can lose These AI assistants have helped users around the world create content that would often take hours for humans to create on their own.
Threats of massive job cuts due to AI have not materialized, at least not yet. Dozens of AI models have also emerged over the past year, some specializing in app coding, video and graphic content creation, or music creation.
Chatbots help millions of people but despite the incredible power of large models in different languages, the capabilities of these chatbots are still limited. Critics say these chatbots are creating content on the internet that is duplicative and often poor. It makes mistakes in stating facts or shows political and ethnic bias.
Tesla founder Elon Musk has attempted to address these issues with the beta launch of his AI assistant last month. Grok's AI assistant is known for its "sense of humor" and "rebellious style," although it has also been accused of political bias. Now, as the artificial intelligence field becomes more competitive with tens of billions of dollars in global investment, tech industry insiders are making predictions about the future of the technology.
Mustafa Suleiman, co-founder of Google DeepMind, believes that the future of AI assistants will lie in their ability to interact with humans in innovative ways. "The third wave of AI will be the interactive phase," Solomon told the journal MIT Technology Review in September. This is why I have long bet that conversation is the interface of the future. You know that instead of just clicking a button and typing, you're going to be talking to your AI assistant."
Decreasing artificiality in artificial intelligence
Interactive AI will allow humans to interact richly with their chatbots. While systems like Amazon's Alexa respond to simple commands, the next generation of AI tools will be able to respond more like humans. AI assistants will also be able to make decisions on their own, so users can give their assistant "a general, high-level goal and it will use all the tools to execute it," Solomon said. "
The interactive AI will also interact with other people and other chatbots to achieve the goal set by the user. The technology will also adapt to user preferences and learn from user feedback, helping computers act the way humans act and think. AI companies will be able to use interactive AI to improve customer service and guide customers through troubleshooting steps.
This technology will also support sales marketing and lead generation and offer personalized communication based on the individual needs of the customer.
What are the benefits of interactive AI?
Industry experts believe that interactive AI will help produce content that is closer to the original. Interactive AI will be able to handle more complex and time-consuming tasks, which require interaction with other humans, websites, and chatbots, and will provide the user with progress on any task or its progress. May report on results regularly.
By being able to understand more sophisticated feedback from users, interactive AI can also prevent harmful or offensive content from being produced or ensure that complex projects are completed according to the precise instructions of users.
When will interactive AI launch?
Several firms are already pursuing interactive projects. Solomon's own chatbot, PIAI, is a forerunner of interactive AI. Designed to be, according to Solomon, "your personal assistant," they're designed for discussions, planning, and learning, or even just venting.
Another early version of interactive AI is Character.ai, which allows users to interact with multiple character AI assistants whose "personalities" have been created by other users. Many of these characters are fictional or based on celebrities. The platform says it exists to allow interaction and offer advice. While Sulaiman believes interactive AI will make its presence felt in 2024, other industry pundits believe real interaction with chatbots is still years away.
The rapid spread of AI
Microsoft founder Bill Gates believes that AI is going to "supercharge the path of innovation" as more people use the technology. In a blog post, Gates said that high-income countries like the US will see significant levels of AI adoption by the general population within 18 to 24 months. He predicted that African countries would begin to see favorable levels of AI adoption within three years or so.
