One of the most anticipated and ambitious projects in this field of AI is Neuralink<\/u>, a brain-computer interface company founded by Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX. Neuralink aims to create a wireless device that can be implanted in the brain and connect it to a computer or a smartphone, allowing users to control devices, access information, and communicate with others just by thinking. Imagine controlling prosthetic limbs or enhancing cognitive abilities just by thinking.<\/p>\n

Neuralink is not the only company working on brain-computer interfaces. Other ones to keep an eye on are Kernel, a neurotech company, which is creating a “mind-reading” helmet that uses sensors and lasers to gain information about the brain\u2019s activity, blood oxygen levels, and more. By collecting detailed data on how the brain works and behaves, the hope is it could lead to new insights and breakthroughs in mental health, aging, cognition, and other aspects of brain health.<\/p>\n

Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is leading the way with its two long-term bets on the future: AI and the metaverse. These two technologies are not only advancing rapidly, but also converging to create new possibilities for human interaction and creativity.<\/p>\n

AI is becoming more accessible and powerful than ever, thanks to Meta\u2019s open-source models like Llama and Llama 2, which have been adopted and improved by millions of developers around the world. AI is also becoming more integrated into the products we use every day, such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, where you can generate images, chat with assistants, write better, and edit photos with ease.<\/p>\n

The metaverse is also taking shape, with Meta\u2019s Reality Labs<\/u> developing new devices and platforms that enable immersive and social experiences in virtual and augmented reality. The Ray-Ban Meta glasses<\/u> were the first step towards a future where AI can see the world from our perspective and help us navigate it.<\/p>\n

The Meta AI <\/u>assistant<\/u> is a new kind of companion that will be launched in 2024. It can understand and respond to your voice, vision, and gestures. Since Meta is trying to play catch-up with ChatGPT, it hired a couple dozen big-name celebrities to be the look and voice of Meta\u2019s new AI voice assistant. The celebs will embody the AI and play them.<\/p>\n

Augmented reality, or AR, is the technology that overlays digital information and images on the real world, creating a mixed reality experience. AR is taking us to new dimensions, as companies like Apple, Meta, Snapchat, and Niantic are creating immersive and engaging experiences that enhance our perception and interaction with the world. But don’t think AR is just for gaming and entertainment, it\u2019s also for education and learning. AR can make learning more fun and interactive, as it can bring subjects and concepts to life.<\/p>\n

Another domain where AR is making a big impact is shopping. AR can help you make better and more informed decisions, as it can let you try on products, see how they look or fit, and compare different options. Amazon<\/u> and Walmart<\/u> are already leveraging AR to provide immersive shopping experiences with its virtual try-on feature. AR is reshaping our world, and we can expect to see more innovation and adoption in 2024 and beyond.<\/p>\n

3) Expect advances in bioprinting artificial tissue and organs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another exciting innovation in healthcare is bioprinting, which is the use of 3D printing to create artificial tissue and organs. Bioprinting could potentially solve the problem of organ shortage and transplant rejection, as well as enable personalized medicine and drug testing. Bioprinting is still in its early stages, but some companies and researchers like those at MIT have already made some impressive progress. AI is truly changing medicine as we know it, and we can expect to see more breakthroughs and applications in 2024 and beyond.<\/p>\n

4) Autonomous electric taxi service becomes available<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most anticipated technologies in 2024 is the autonomous electric taxi service by Zoox<\/u>, a subsidiary of Amazon. Their tag line is, “Built for riders – not for drivers.” Zoox has been developing and testing its self-driving vehicles in various cities since 2020, and plans to launch its service in 2024.<\/p>\n

Zoox\u2019s vehicles are designed to navigate complex urban environments with four-wheel steering, bidirectional driving, and a spacious cabin that can fit four passengers. Zoox\u2019s taxis can be booked through an app or a kiosk, and offer a flat rate per mile. Zoox aims to provide a safer, more efficient, and more comfortable alternative to conventional taxis, and to reduce traffic and pollution.<\/p>\n

5) More drone delivery services in the sky<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The year 2024 is expected to witness significant growth in the use of drone delivery services<\/u>, especially in urban areas where traffic congestion and pollution are major challenges. Drone delivery services<\/u> offer a fast, convenient, and eco-friendly way of transporting goods and services to customers, reducing the need for road vehicles and human labor.<\/p>\n

One of the leading companies in this field is Amazon, which added a third U.S. city that will soon have the option to get their packages delivered by a drone beginning in late 2024. The company’s Prime Air has been using drones to safely deliver packages weighing up to five pounds in one hour or less, for almost a year. Prime Air is also unveiling the new MK30 drone design, which the company claims is quieter, smaller, and lighter than previous models.<\/p>\n

Forget about hiring an old-fashioned contractor to build your next home. Imagine having a house built by a 3D printer. More and more of these houses are going to be going up in 2024 as a cost-effective and eco-friendly way of constructing houses.<\/p>\n

A company called ICON<\/u> is a leader in 3D printing technology for construction, with a mission to revolutionize the way we build and live. They have developed a robotic system that can print an entire house layer by layer, using a durable material called Lavacrete, which is a type of concrete that can withstand extreme weather conditions and natural disasters while also reducing waste and emissions. ICON has already printed several houses around the world, including the first 3D-printed community in Austin, Texas. ICON\u2019s vision is to make 3D printing accessible to everyone and to create homes that are beautiful, functional, and resilient.<\/p>\n

2024 is going to be an exciting one for electric vehicles. According to some experts, electric vehicles (EVs) will account for more than 40% of new car sales in the US by 2024, thanks to the increasing affordability, performance, and environmental benefits of EVs. Whether you\u2019re looking for a budget-friendly Kia Niro, an all-American Ford F-150 Lightning, a futuristic Tesla Cybertruck, a lavish Rolls-Royce Spectre, or a sleek Hyundai IONIQ 6, there\u2019s an EV for everyone.<\/p>\n

Car sharing is also expected to grow significantly in 2024, as more people opt for convenient and cost-effective transportation solutions. Some of the leading car-sharing platforms, such as Zipcar, Turo, and Getaround, will offer more options for EV rentals, as well as innovative features such as peer-to-peer sharing, autonomous driving, and smart charging. With electric cars and car sharing, the future of transportation looks bright and green in 2024.<\/p>\n
