Artificial Intelligence is undeniably transforming the world. From optimizing everyday tasks like managing your phone’s battery to complex predictions like estimating exactly when your Uber will arrive, AI has become an integral part of our lives. But what’s next? Where is this exponential technological evolution taking us?
Our CEO, Jonathan Lakin, offered a captivating perspective on the future of AI during his participation in the Global Alumni Reunion (GAR) 2024. This event, organized by IESE Business School, brought together business leaders and academics under the theme “The Courage to Create the Future”.
Below, we explore the key takeaways from Jonathan’s talk, which addressed not only the impact of AI on organizations but also how its rapid advancements are reshaping consumer relationships and redefining entire industries.
Jonathan began by highlighting AI’s central role in our daily lives. “If you look around, you’ll find AI everywhere,” he remarked. However, while many believe we’ve reached the peak of AI’s development, the reality presents a vastly different outlook.
Major tech companies are betting big on AI, with a collective investment projected to exceed $1 trillion over the next five years. This unprecedented level of investment underscores the importance of this technology and is driven by two major forces:
AI is no longer just a technology we program. “It’s starting to grow on its own, like a biological system,” our CEO explained. Leading researchers are observing how AI is transitioning from being manually coded to learning autonomously, mimicking the human brain or even the human eye.
One of the most critical challenges for the future of AI is balancing personalized experiences with user privacy. In this context, Jonathan presented Edge AI, an innovative solution developed by Intent HQ.
Edge AI operates directly on the user’s device, learning about them without transferring data to the cloud. This allows for highly personalized experiences while maintaining user privacy.
Jonathan explained how this approach flips the traditional marketing model: instead of centralizing data in the cloud, each device requests relevant information, enabling precise personalization without compromising user identity.
Jonathan Lakin predicts we are heading toward an era of capable AI, where systems will be multifunctional, operating seamlessly across diverse domains, from managing organizational operations to driving autonomous vehicles.
Moreover, upcoming innovations in synthetic biology and humanoid robotics promise to profoundly reshape our lives by 2030. However, the greatest challenge won’t just be technological but organizational: companies’ ability to adapt to these disruptive advancements will determine whether they thrive or fall behind.
