In 2024, people can expect AI to become more of a part of their everyday lives than it already is, according to one professor at Northern Kentucky University. He says a project his students worked on shows the positive potential of the technology.
“And so, in a way, we’ve become a little dumber. We’ve given up some of our brain power,” he said. “Now, if we apply the same concept to AI, given that it can completely replace the way we talk and speak, the implications are pretty significant.”

The ability to create images and news that are indistinguishable from reality is here. And the more powerful it becomes, the more responsibility people have, Caporusso said, to use it properly.

“AI is going to produce decisions based on what it’s trained with. If we train AI to be an angry text generation system, we will get angry text,” he said. “As long as we don’t use AI to make too big of decisions, we’ll definitely be able to maintain the control.”

Overall, Caporusso said he thinks all the good will outweigh the bad. But education will play a key role in that.
