Gearing-Up for an AI-Powered 2024: My Resolutions
Here are my personal New Year's resolutions for 2024 related to AI:
Experiment with new AI-powered coding and productivity tools. Whether it's an AI coding co-pilot or some other automation or data science application, pick an AI app or coding tool that could help boost my efficiency. Assess how it performs.
Learn more about AI safety and ethics. Make an effort to educate myself on responsible AI development practices and how to identify potential biases or harms both in data and AI systems.
Further my commitment to the AI industry. I plan to expand my role as an active advisor, investor, and board member for AI startups. This involves not only providing strategic guidance and financial support but also leveraging my experience to help these emerging companies navigate the complex landscape of AI technology, fostering innovation and growth in the field.
Probe AI and software trends via ongoing blogs and podcasts. I plan to continue dissecting the software industry and SaaS sector amid challenging growth conditions while expanding my coverage of AI's advancements and increasing impacts. Watch for in-depth analysis of emerging AI techniques, ethical considerations, and industry adoption. I aim to provide insights into AI's evolving, high-impact potential through blogs and podcast conversations.
Help Expand the AI Innovators Community (AIC). I have decided to become more involved with the AI Innovators Community (AIC) efforts in the coming year. As an organization focused on responsibly accelerating and expanding the use of AI, the AIC provides an excellent forum for exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and showcasing emerging capabilities—more about the AIC in future posts.
Yes, I should shed a couple of pounds and adopt a healthier diet {like very year}.
Turns out, Forbes Health/OnePoll unleashed the top 5 New Year's Resolutions for 2024 based on a survey (here), and the results in order are as you’d expect:
Pumping-up! (improved fitness: 48%)
Stacking more cash (38% improved finances)
Seeking more inner chill (36% improved mental health)
Shedding pounds like an old coat (34% weight loss)
Eating greens and non-processed food (32% improved diet)
Surprisingly, the top 5 didn’t include 'Learning More About AI’! This has led me to the conclusion that there is a greater need for awareness about AI, particularly in its capacity to aid in personal development.
For those aiming to enhance their fitness in 2024—resolution #1 above—there are a variety of AI-enabled products that offer optimized, personalized workouts. This includes intelligent exercise bikes with auto-adjusting resistance and data-driven training plans and comprehensive home gym systems with sensors to monitor progress.
The quickest way to get on the road to fitness is to use ChatGPT or another generative AI and use the prompt: “Create a 7-day workout plan for me”.
Some leading AI-powered fitness apps include Aaptiv Coach, FitnessAI App, FitBod, Infigrow, SpartanApps Coach, and Tempo AI Home Gym.
Specialized apps use AI to craft tailored fitness and nutrition programs based on individual goals, body types, and available equipment. These apps offer personalized strength training, cardio routines, exercise demos, real-time feedback, and more, simulating or surpassing human personal trainers through machine learning-powered recommendations. This enables personalized guidance at scale for both home and mobile platforms.
My experience with Motion.ai, an AI-based calendar, has revolutionized my workouts. It optimizes my daily and weekly calendar scheduling, integrating task management and intelligent planning. This has allowed me to increase my workout frequency and variety, adapting to my travel schedule. I also use a pedometer app for tracking walks, although today, it doesn't seem to incorporate AI.
In conclusion, as we step into 2024, I plan to embrace the potential of AI in enhancing our fitness regimes and beyond. Whether it's through adopting new AI-enabled fitness tools, educating myself about AI, or supporting AI innovation, there's a role for each of us in shaping a future where technology and human well-being go hand in hand. Let's make 2024 a year where AI becomes a more integral and understood part of our lives.
