AI HYPE AND REALITY: THE 2023 PREDICTION SCORECARD
***Tech Hype vs. Reality***
2023 was the year of tech hype, AI chatbots, and driverless robotaxis rolling into town. But, as the smoke cleared, the excitement turned to disappointment, grounded by concerns around safety, traffic jams, and other issues. Are we really standing at the doorstep of a new world or is an AI winter nigh?
***Rodney Brooks Predicts the Future***
The esteemed robotics and AI legend did what he does best; put 2023 under his microscope to see how his predictions from 2018 turned out. The verdict is in – his predictions have held up very well.
***Concerns on Driverless Cars and Robotaxis***
Despite promises being made, Brooks found driverless robotaxis in San Francisco less flexible and expedient. They create traffic hazards and bad experiences with dangerous moments. It’s a stark reminder that unsupervised AI drivers might not be quite the silver bullet as expected.
***AI and Electric Cars on the Horizon***
Belief in electric cars is strong, but the hurdles, like the time it takes to charge them, remain massive. Meanwhile, despite what companies claimed, there are no self-driving cars out there yet.
***Takeaways on AI***
Brooks warns against hyping up the capabilities of AI, reminding us it’s far more difficult to achieve than most realize. While the promises are big, the reality is far from the science fiction world of AI takeover.
***Future Predictions Uncertain***
The next few years carry the key to AI and electric car success. Can tech distinguish hype from reality?
