Despite all the AI hype, success depends on just one thing

"We can already get a lot of insight into how people are using our cars," he says. "We do forecast models, for instance, to do root cause analysis or to predict what kind of accessories we need to install to help with planning." For now, Martin says Toyota is focused on using tools like Power BI to keep the human at the heart of the loop and to use analytics to develop a detailed understanding of automotive operations and processes."We are not letting the AI make decisions instead of people," he says. "We prefer to

Mark Zuckerberg’s Hype for Meta AI Is as Empty as the Metaverse

Mark Zuckerberg bet tens of billions of dollars on the “metaverse” only to be mocked for the idea of an immersive virtual-reality social network at every turn. When all is said and done, his promise to add legs to users’ digital avatars (previously rendered as floating torsos) might be what most people remember about the ill-conceived project — if they think about it at all. But while the metaverse failed to launch, the frenzy over artificial intelligence surged: 2023 was rife with speculation about the promise of…

LG’s transparent OLED T series TV is bringing back the 3D hype

LG might be the biggest name in OLED, even compared to Samsung and Sony. The company has consistently put out some of the best OLED screens for years. From televisions to phones to gaming monitors, it’s hard to find a bad LG OLED display.Of course, televisions are probably where the company is most well-known for its OLED screens. Personally, I went with Sony’s OLED technology, but even I recognize how good LG’s OLED TVs are. My friend has a 77-inch G Series and that thing looks incredible. The difference at that…

“Kony 2012”: 50 Things That Had Massive Hype Then Totally Flopped

Remember the Segway craze of the early 2000s? Mall cops were zooming down walkways with them, and guided Segway tours became a hit in popular tourist destinations. But then, seemingly overnight, they disappeared. And now they’re nowhere to be found, as electric scooters have quickly become the preferred mode of transit for pedestrians who don’t feel like walking.There’s a new “next big thing” every year, but unfortunately, they don’t all live up to their own expectations. Redditors have recently been discussing “next…

VCs are optimistic that AI investing will move beyond the hype in 2024

Artificial intelligence startups had a wild ride in 2023. Everyone and their grandmother tried out some sort of AI tool, startups in the space raised rounds at 2021 valuations, there were high-profile shutdowns, and then to close out the year, we had all the drama surrounding Sam Altman and OpenAI — plus New York Times’ lawsuit against the company. With so much in the rearview mirror, it’s hard to predict what will happen with AI startups in 2024. But some people, like investors, make their…

Beyond the generative AI hype

As the buzz around generative AI (GenAI) has begun to quiet from the fever pitch it reached over the past year, business leaders and their teams are taking a step back and evaluating the technology with a more sober perspective. After a year of dominating news cycles and dinner conversations alike, GenAI is no longer a novelty—it’s being implemented in businesses every day. A recent Gartner survey found that 55% of organizations report they’re increasing investment in GenAI.  As more and more teams are discovering the…

For all the hype in 2023, we still don’t know what AI’s long-term impact will be | John Naughton

“Innovation,” wrote the economist William Janeway in his seminal book Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy, “begins with discovery and culminates in speculation.” That just about sums up 2023. The discovery was AI (as represented by ChatGPT), and the speculative bubble is what we have now, in which huge public corporations launch products that are known to “hallucinate” (yes, that’s now a technical term relating to large language models), and spend money like it’s going out of fashion on the kit needed to make even…

4 essential reads that puncture the hype

Within four months of ChatGPT’s launch on Nov. 30, 2022, most Americans had heard of the AI chatbot. Hype about – and fear of – the technology was at a fever pitch for much of 2023. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, Anthropic’s Claude and Microsoft’s Copilot are among the chatbots powered by large language models to provide uncannily humanlike conversations. The experience of interacting with one of these chatbots, combined with Silicon Valley spin, can leave the impression that these technical marvels are conscious…

After a year of breathless hype, AI will face reality in 2024

Artificial intelligence went mainstream in 2023. The watershed moment arrived at the end of the previous year, with the November 30 release of ChatGPT. Just two months later, the OpenAI system was reaching an estimated 100 million active users. According to analysts at investment bank UBS, the headline-grabbing chatbot had become the fastest-growing consumer app of all time. Over the remaining course of 2023, the hype train went into overdrive. Suddenly, AI seemed to be everywhere. It was…
