Recently an algorithm called The Big Sleep (Murdock, 2020) was released, which generates images from texts; that is, if someone writes, as in my case, A Taco with a book in a night city in the style of Edward Hopper, it will give as output an interpretation of that text. This algorithm by the artist Ryan Murdock shows similarities with the Open IA program Dall.E, which creates an image from text, using the GPT-3 model.
Read MoreHow Amazon became the top dog in artificial intelligence
Amazon is a data company. At least, it is if we’re to go on what the leading figures in tech and ecommerce say. However, I beg to differ. In my opinion, Amazon is not just a data company, but an artificial intelligence company, and without that ingredient their data wouldn’t matter nearly as much as it does to their business today. In just a few years, Amazon has envisioned and realised countless incredible ambitions with machine learning software that ninety percent of experts fifteen years ago wouldn’t have thought possible.

Read MoreLet’s make Artificial Intelligence a greater force in 2021
A year ago, none the wiser about what 2020 would bring, I reflected on the pivotal moment that the AI community was in. The previous year had seen a series of high-profile automated failures, like self-driving-car crashes and discriminatory recruiting tools. Later on, the field responded with more talk of AI ethics than ever before. But talk, I said, was not enough. We needed to take tangible actions. Two months later, the coronavirus shut down the world.

Read More3 tech trends that COVID-19 will accelerate in 2021
Spending 2020 under the shadow of a pandemic has affected what we need and expect from technology. For many, COVID-19 accelerated the rate of digital transformation: as employees worked from home, companies needed AI systems that facilitated remote work and the computing power to support them. The question is, how should companies focus their resources in 2021 to prepare for this changed reality and the new technologies on the horizon? Here are three trends that I predict will see massive attention in 2021 and beyond.

A clear pattern of growth has already emerged in AI: in 2018–19, the phase of experimentation became mature; in 2020, adoptions began in a serious way and suddenly, COVID-19 gave the business leaders an opportunity and impetus to push automation and AI.
