When we asked people what they were most looking forward to in AI, they hoped it would bring us enhanced healthcare (63%) and giving the elderly or those with disabilities more autonomy in their lives (56%). This is where I think we’ll see the most change in the next five years, such as AI helping doctors diagnose illnesses or analysing medical scans. The opportunity for AI to truly democratise healthcare is significant and we will see the majority of opportunity focus in this space.
In addition, we’ll see an increase in the utilisation of neural networks by more companies to process complex data and recommend outcomes or observations. This is likely to lead to an increase in the AI ‘big data’ industry and a standardisation of approach, skillsets, roles and of course legislation.
