Last week I shared what AI thinks about itself, along with some of my thoughts on both AI and AI's thoughts on AI.

Now it's time to put on my tinfoil futurist hat and gaze deeply into my 8-bit crystal ball.

Here are 4 trends I think will be turbocharged by AI:

  1. Search is Dead
  2. Social is Dead
  3. Personal Algorithms
  4. Ambient Computing

I'll elaborate on each of these points more in the future, but here are the subheads:

Search Is Dead

The era of the megalith search engine for all things is over.

Social Is Dead

The era of the traditional social media platform built on users sharing their own content is over.

Personal Algorithms

The era of Her is just beginning. Our current crop of technological "personal" assistants (Siri, Alexa, Clippy, etc.) will morph into truly personalized algorithms that make TikTok's For You feed look quaint.

Ambient Computing

Screens will no longer be the ruling paradigm for tech interaction. And the number of devices used will increase.
