The future of AI: Major changes will be seen in consumer technology, wellness, and smart devices..
Over the past few years, the development of technology and the increasing power of AI have been reshaping users' relationships with the internet. How we obtain new information, evaluate facts, perceive change, and even remember things is rapidly evolving. A long struggle is underway between the convenience offered by algorithms and human freedom. Since trust is the currency of innovation, any technological innovation takes a long time to become established.
Many technological innovations have emerged in the past, only to fade away over time. For the past few years, AI has been poised to change everything, but its struggle to build trust continues. However, AI development is now at a stage where, in the coming months, we will see machine intelligence evolve into a reliable assistant that will not only answer questions but also prove effective in simplifying tasks, creating new things, and solving problems.
Thanks to the capabilities of AI, the changes happening in consumer technology today are generating excitement among people. Innovations like smart homes, fitness tech, and electric cars have been the subject of much discussion worldwide in recent months. However, all these technologies are still in their nascent stages. It remains to be seen how useful companies will make these gadgets by 2026, to what extent smartphone intelligence will increase, and what new devices will emerge.
Computers will talk like humans.
In the coming days, users will be able to avail themselves of AI chatbot services as a reliable assistant. This year, however, we will begin to see the artificiality of AI voices diminish, and a trend of conversing with computers in public spaces emerge. Companies are working on multiple levels to make the voices of ChatGPT and Gemini more natural. These features will lead to a more natural connection with conversational AI. However, there will also be an increased tendency for people to be confused by AI responses and to harm themselves by becoming emotionally attached to it.
Several such cases have been discussed in recent months. Although people have been interacting with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant for decades, their use has been limited to basic tasks like playing music and checking the weather. However, advanced AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude can prove useful in a wide range of applications, including healthcare, finance, education, customer service, data collection, and personalization, acting much like an intelligent assistant.
