Richmond, VA: CNET has a nice piece on consumer AI on display at the 2024 Consumer Electronics show. https://www.cnet.com/pictures/some-of-the-coolest-ai-tech-were-seeing-at-ces-2024-so-far/
AI is much fussed over now but among the more eccentric offerings, there are some that show promise. We are thinking, especially of innovations that integrate AI into widely used products such as cars (ChatGPT in Volkswagens) and computers (Dell laptops will have a Microsoft Copilot key). The point here is these AI innovations have an obvious and immediate use. Of course, some of the more unusual AIs may find a new home one day – I recall at the 1984 CES there was a speech processing machine. It could have been faked but did point the way to the future.
Gasman’s Guides: LDG Tech Advisors’ GASMAN’S GUIDES are designed for professionals from the largest multinationals to innovative startups to venture capitalist and individual investors. They go beyond what can be found in any standard book and are designed for business audiences, not technical ones. In addition to an analysis of the business ramifications of the new technologies covered, each GASMAN’S GUIDE shows the latest product/technology roadmaps from the leading technology vendors and service providers.
The first GASMAN’S GUIDE is the Guide to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Industry which focuses on the business potential of AI, where the money will be made and where it will be lost. The report was published in October 2023 and is available for purchase. This report begins with a discussion of major AI applications (emerging and current) in areas as diverse as Self-driving Cars, Creative and Decision-making tools (ChatGPT), Military Applications, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Consumer Products, Electronic Games, Robotics, etc. The GASMAN’S GUIDE to AI also includes revenue projections for each of these applications with breakouts by type of AI technology and country of use.
New Gasman’s Guides are planned for 2024. These will cover other technologies with huge business potential. They will include Guides on (1) Emerging Business Opportunities in Web 3.0, (2) Self-Driving Automotive Industry, (3) Sustainable Manufacturing, and (4) Cybersecurity. Each Guide provides a roadmap and analysis of the technology itself along with market forecasts of key growth applications and products.
