The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of 2024 with Jason Kapadia, Jen Campbell and Jag Sharma #82
336 days ago, we made our bold predictions for what 2024 might bring us - it’s time to look back on just how the year surprised us…
Jag, Jen and Jason take this episode to see which of their prophecies came true, how much AI took over our feeds, and the social & cybersecurity gaffes that ruled the year we’ve endured.
This episode of Disconnected covers:
The promising notion of automation seen with robots and autonomous vehicles
Huge cybersecurity blunders that marked the year
The AI-generated content rife on our feeds, for better or worse
Episode Highlights:
“What I was predicting was that people would pick one AI-based search tool and stick with it. What I didn't really allow for was the fact that the likes of Google and Bing and everybody else would also bring in their own tools.” - 4:15 - Jen Campbell
“If you search for AI movie trailers, you'll see a whole bunch, but they're just trailers to films that are never gonna be made.” - 15:05 - Jason Kapadia
“My first prediction was that AI would cause cybersecurity headaches and incidents - a Hong Kong staff member was duped into a video call where he transferred $25m to fraudsters.” - 22:00 - Jag Sharma
“There was backlash to the Coca Cola AI ad - did it need to be created by AI, or did they just do it for award entries?” - 28:40 - Jen Campbell
