Artificial intelligence will continue on its path to becoming the most transformative technology humanity has ever created in 2022. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, it will have an even more significant impact on our evolution as a species than fire or electricity. This may appear to be a lofty claim, but considering how it is already being used to combat climate change, explore space, and develop cancer treatments, the potential is undeniable.

Continuous Advancements in AI 

While many top AI technologies are still relatively nebulous, a few trends will continue to flourish. As AI continues to advance, it will become more integrated into all aspects of a business. 

The rise of Machine Learning and cloud-based computing will make this technology even more popular. Meanwhile, the need for cognitive computing will increase, and cloud-based solutions will become more widely adopted.

The full impact of giving machines the ability to make decisions and thus allowing decision-making to occur far more quickly and accurately than humans could ever do is difficult to comprehend right now. But one thing is certain: breakthroughs and new developments will continue to push the limits of what is possible in 2022.

Top AI Trends of 2022 

In 2022, there will be significant breakthroughs in the following areas and fields:

• The Augmented Workforce

There has always been concern that machines or robots will supplant human workers and, in some cases, render some jobs obsolete. However, as businesses work to build data- and AI-literate cultures within their workforces, we’ll increasingly find ourselves working with or alongside machines that use smart and cognitive functionality to augment our abilities and skills. 

We’re already used to using tools in some functions, such as marketing, to help us determine which leads are worth pursuing and what value we can expect from potential customers. In engineering roles, AI tools assist us by providing predictive maintenance predicting when machines will require servicing or repair ahead of time.

•  The Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence

The term “metaverse” refers to a unified persistent digital environment where users can collaborate and play together. It’s a virtual world similar to the internet but emphasizes allowing users to create immersive experiences. Since Mark Zuckerberg spoke about combining virtual reality technology with the social foundations of his Facebook platform, the concept has become a hot topic.

•  Low-code and no-code AI

The scarcity of skilled AI engineers who can create the necessary tools and algorithms impedes many companies’ adoption of AI-driven efficiency. No-code and low-code solutions aim to solve this problem by providing simple interfaces that can be used to build increasingly complex AI systems in theory. 

No-code AI systems will allow us to create smart programs by plugging together different, pre-made modules and feeding them with our domain-specific data, similar to how web design and no-code UI tools now allow users to create web pages and other interactive systems simply by dragging and dropping graphical elements together.

•  Autonomous vehicles

AI is the “brains” behind the self-driving cars, boats, and planes that will revolutionize travel and society in the coming decade. When we look back in the future and reflect on how we thought it was expected that 1.3 million people died in traffic accidents every year, 90% of which were caused by human error, 2022 should be a year to remember!

Tesla claims that its cars will demonstrate full self-driving capability by 2022, though it is unlikely to be ready for widespread use before then.

•  Creative AI

AI can be used to create art, music, poetry, plays, and even video games, as we all know. We can expect more elaborate and seemingly “natural” creative output from our increasingly imaginative and capable electronic friends in 2022, as new models such as GPT-4 and Google’s Brain redefine the boundaries of what’s possible.

Rather than being demonstrations or experiments to demonstrate AI’s potential, we will increasingly see them applied to routine creative tasks in 2022, such as writing headlines for articles and newsletters, designing logos, and creating infographics.

Creativity is often regarded as a uniquely human trait. The fact that these abilities are now being demonstrated in machines indicates that “Artificial” Intelligence is undeniably approaching the somewhat nebulous concept of “Real” Intelligence in terms of scope and function.

Conclusion

Besides advancing AI in manufacturing, AI applications in healthcare are a big part of the industry. Among the top, AI trends for 2022 are AI inference, augmented reality, and virtual and augmented reality. 

Those involved in these industries will benefit from these technologies as they work to improve their daily lives. With the help of AI, many companies like ONPASSIVE are developing more innovative products and bringing more innovation.
