🎲 Unlocking existing knowledge with AI, needs, numbers, and trends
AI data and trends for business leaders: #2024-10 | AI systems series
AI holds immense potential for unlocking and amplifying the vast amount of existing knowledge. This can lead to significant advancements in various fields, but it requires specific elements and faces ongoing development and challenges.
The field of knowledge is searching for ways to respond to the fast-pace artificial intelligence deployment.
On a global scale, effectively bridging the gap between disciplines can lead to groundbreaking discoveries and innovative solutions.
On a societal scale, machine learning can help schools and universities get a better sense of exactly where the needs are, help students focus on where the materials haven’t been explained well, or a mix of the two. They’re related, obviously.
Artificial intelligence is set to change what teachers teach and how they teach. This is an opportunity to potentially help the education field personalize students’ learning so that they can learn at a more efficient pace—that corresponds to our fast-developing era—than they can in today’s one-size-fits-all classrooms.
On a market scale, a comparative analysis of economic and scientific growth processes can lead us to acknowledge the need to address upcoming challenges.
The business opportunities for organizations that actively implement AI systems to improve knowledge (both internal and external) and utilize the vast resources available can effectively bridge the gap between different fields, open doors to new insights, and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries:
Cultivate a "thinking outside the box" mentality
Utilize interdisciplinary resources
Leverage AI and technology tools
Foster interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork
The important questions to ask:
▸ How generative AI can help businesses manage their lack of knowledge?
▸ How can we (humans) manage our capacity to store knowledge (knowing that this capacity is “materially limited”) while the amount of knowledge is growing exponentially?
▸ How can we effectively connect various knowledge fields and gain new insights?

The needs, numbers, and trends
"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."
—Robert Frost
📌 Fact 1: the needs
Data and knowledge representation: AI systems need access to well-organized, high-quality data. This includes structured data (databases, spreadsheets) and unstructured data (text documents, images, audio). Additionally, efficient "knowledge representation" techniques are crucial for machines to understand and utilize the information effectively.
Machine learning and AI techniques: Different AI techniques, like natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, are needed to analyze, process, and extract valuable insights from the data. These techniques allow AI to identify patterns, connections, and hidden knowledge within the information.
Human expertise: While AI excels at processing large amounts of data, human expertise remains vital in various aspects. This includes:
Curating and validating data: Ensuring data quality and accuracy is essential for reliable AI outputs.
Knowledge engineering involves structuring and encoding knowledge in a way AI systems can understand and utilize.
Interpreting and applying AI insights: Humans are needed to interpret AI-generated results and effectively apply those insights in real-world contexts.
📌 Fact 2: the numbers
The global AI market is expected to reach $1.81 trillion by 2030, reflecting the growing investment and interest in AI technologies1.
The total data generated globally is projected to reach 180 zettabytes by 2025. Effectively utilizing this data through AI can unlock valuable knowledge and insights.2
Growth of AI talent: While specific numbers are hard to pinpoint, the demand for AI professionals across various sectors rapidly increases. This includes data science, machine learning engineering, and AI research roles. This growth reflects AI's growing importance and diverse applications in various fields.3
Investment in AI research and development: Significant investments in AI research and development (R&D) are being made globally. This includes funding from governments, private companies, and academic institutions. The increasing investment signifies the potential of AI to address complex challenges and drive innovation across various domains.4
Impact on specific industries: AI is already being felt in various industries, with some experiencing significant disruption and transformation. For example, the healthcare sector utilizes AI for medical diagnosis, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. Similarly, the finance industry uses AI for fraud detection, risk management, and automated financial advising. Monitoring and addressing the potential societal and ethical implications of AI adoption in different sectors is crucial.5
📌 Fact 3: the trends
Focus on explainable AI (XAI): As AI becomes more complex, there is a growing emphasis on developing AI systems that are transparent and interpretable. This allows humans to understand how AI arrives at its conclusions and builds trust in its outputs.
Rise of generative AI: This subfield of AI focuses on generating new content, like text, code, or images. It can potentially revolutionize knowledge creation and dissemination by automating tasks like document generation and summarizing complex information.
Integration with knowledge management systems: AI is increasingly integrated with knowledge management systems to improve information access, retrieval, and analysis. This enables organizations to leverage their existing knowledge base more effectively.
About your business
While AI offers significant potential for unlocking existing knowledge, addressing challenges like data bias, ethical considerations, and human-AI collaboration is crucial to ensuring responsible and effective utilization of this technology.
