12.1 Emerging AI Trends
The big trends: AI that sees, hears and speaks at once, AI agents, smaller models on your phone, and AI speeding up science.
Chapter 12: Future of Artificial Intelligence
Multimodal AI: models that handle text, images, audio and video together - you can show them a photo and talk to them about it in real time.
On-device AI: smaller, efficient models running directly on phones and laptops - faster and more private because your data doesn't have to leave the device. AI for science: from protein design to new materials and weather forecasting.
Also: open models anyone can download and build on, AI agents that complete multi-step tasks, and longer context windows that let AI read whole books or codebases at once.
Key takeaways
Multimodal and on-device AI are growing fast
Agents are the next big shift
AI is accelerating scientific discovery
