For the last few days, I am sure you have been inundated with predictions about AI in the new year so let’s try to avoid those. After all, like the great Neils Bohr always said: “Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.” 😉 . Instead, lets discuss a single prediction that I have reflecting upon in the last few weeks and it is related to a imminent shift in the value of AI technologies from infrastructure to applications. The bulk of the value creation in every technology market fluctuates between infrastructure and applications. Mobile computing started as an application first market and it went through cycles that produced many mobile infrastructure startups. Cloud computing started as an infrastructure trend and the value steadily transition into application layers and then back to infrastructure. For the last decade, the bulk of the value in AI has been accrued at the infrastructure layer with movement such as MLOps but 2023 might be the first year of the shift towards application-first value. The X factor: generative AI. Generative AI has been the first AI trend that has bring incredibly powerful super models to mainstream developers. As a result, the generative AI movement is going to trigger a new generation of startups that leverage large foundation models in consumer and enterprise use cases. Many of those use cases are transitioning from being an AI problem to a product problem. All signs indicated that 2023 is going to see an explosion in generative AI mega models and, with that, we will see a tremendous value creation race to apply those models to real world scenarios. In that sense, 2023 is going to be the first year in which AI applications might capture more value than infrastructure providers. The opportunities are massive as we might be entering the industrial era of AI.
