In 2024, AI and automation are expected to become more prominent in businesses. Teams in the tech sector will face tighter budgets this year as organisations aim for full automation of their processes and workflows. More AI training among staff is required before businesses can use this technology effectively. Automation technology will be a critical component of enhancing future workflows and IT orchestrations, according to Keith Lynch, the country manager for Red Hat's Irish operations.
IBM Research AI VP Sriram Raghavan highlighted IBM's collaboration with NASA for an advanced AI model during recent AI events in India. He emphasized sustainable AI development and the urgency of prioritizing talent development at IBM, revealing that they are committed to training two million learners in AI by 2026 for inclusive opportunities in the field.
Generative artificial intelligence and large language models are becoming more embedded into products people may actually want to buy. Companies like Intel and Qualcomm will race to make mainstream PCs designed for AI features, with Microsoft mandating that new Windows PCs must include a dedicated AI button on their keyboards for easier access to Copilot AI baked into Windows 11.
Samsung plans to launch new devices powered by AI right after CES. Other upstart companies are envisioning how an AI-first gadget should work, and Apple is preparing a launch of its mixed-reality headset before spring. The entire spatial computing movement will be impacted if it can't make a mixed-reality headset that people want to use.
The top tech trends to watch in 2024 include generative artificial intelligence, large language models, AI collaboration with NASA and Meta, sustainable AI development at IBM for inclusive opportunities in the field. Other companies like Intel and Qualcomm are racing to make mainstream PCs designed for AI features.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that it will be discussing AI trends for 2024 when in fact it only briefly mentions them and focuses more on other topics such as virtual reality and spatial computing. Secondly, the author claims that they are going to provide a guide to tech trends but instead provides an overview of various products and technologies without any real analysis or evaluation. Thirdly, the article contains several examples of sensationalism such as describing AI hype in smartphones as 'intoxicating' and stating that misinformation by way of deepfakes could help deepen political divides. Lastly, the author fails to disclose sources which is a violation of their own site's policy.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that automation will become more prominent this year and that companies will need to train their staff as they try to adopt AI and rush out new products. However, there is no evidence presented in the article to support these statements. Secondly, the author quotes experts who predict certain outcomes for 2024 without providing any context or explanation of how these predictions were made. This makes it difficult for readers to understand the basis for these claims. Thirdly, the author presents several examples of AI and automation in action within different sectors but does not provide any analysis or evaluation of their effectiveness or impact on businesses.
A PwC report released at the end of 2023 claimed most financial services firms still rely on manual risk assessments to deal with financial crime and that automation is required to tackle this issue. However, there is no context or explanation provided for how these predictions were made.
The article quotes Keith Lynch, country manager for Red Hat's Irish operations as saying that automation and digital transformation will be critical components in enhancing future workflows and IT orchestrations. However, there is no evidence presented to support this claim.

Leigh Mc Gowran demonstrates bias in this article by focusing on the benefits of AI and automation while ignoring or downplaying their potential negative impacts. This is evident in several ways.
`AI clearly had a massive impact on the tech sector last year, with businesses of all sizes rushing to release new AI products for their customers – and to enhance their own services.`
`Andy Patel, a senior researcher at WithSecure, predicts that this trend will continue and that AI-powered services and products will be ‘Crushed to market’ as competition among start-ups and established corporations heats up`
`Chris Dimitriadis, the chief global strategy officer at ISACA – a leading global professional association – said businesses are likely to adopt generative AI to innovate, optimise costs and boost productivity. However, he said more training is required among staff before businesses can use this technology effectively`
`Eric Johnson, the CIO of cloud computing company PagerDuty, believes 2024 will be the year when organisations focus on ‘transforming the entire organisation to be more automated’`
`Experts predict that automation will become more prominent this year`
`Massimo Pezzini, head of research at Workato, believes that CIOs will invest more in enterprise automation in order to be better equipped to transform, scale and improve agility in business processes to respond to uncertain environments`
`One of the ways we’ll see automation in action next year is within the IT help desk. If organisations can reduce the number of issues and incidents, that will decrease the volume of tickets reaching the service desk daily, which will cut costs and give time back to the user. Another way is through personalised customer service`
`Rodrigo Liang, the CEO of generative AI software company SambaNova Systems, predicts that the focus on this sector will lead to ‘pervasive AI’, where AI is deployed by businesses across all of their functions and workstreams.`
`Van Reenen referenced a Forrester analysis from last year, which predicted that only one in 10 technology leaders would get growth right despite ‘clear calls to action from senior leadership’.`
