Here is a summary of AI and web developments predicted for business in 2024:
AI Developments
- CEOs embrace AI as a “force for good” that can drive efficiency and innovation, but have concerns about unintended consequences and ethical implications. 65% say more work is needed to address AI risks.
- 45% of CEOs plan major capital investments into AI innovation in the next 12 months. AI is expected to boost productivity and creative problem-solving by 50%.
- 20% of tech executives are predicted to turn to “shadow HR” to obtain AI skills, as 50% are expected to struggle acquiring AI capabilities internally. Many will partner with service providers to close the AI gap.
Web Developments
- 60% of marketing leaders believe their current web tech stack is not meeting requirements. Top priorities for 2024 are improving web infrastructure, empowering teams to build experiences, and accelerating production.
- 50% of firms using no-code/low-code web tools are already seeing benefits like better collaboration and workflows. Adoption of these tools is expected to rise.
- Marketing teams are spending an average of $1.6 million annually on web teams and software. Websites are increasingly expensive assets to manage.

How do we TRUST AI?
Today, *ai* is a mystery. Part magic, mostly math, and a huge amount of data (some of it obtained illegally) that is quickly shaping the agendas of enterprises and startups and dreamers. What have we learned about collaboration, team building, and working with others?
TRUST will be the new currency in *ai* for all of us. As Salesforce’s new tv ads say, “Your data is gold.” And where you store, share, and monetize your gold will require a bit of a pullback from the wild wild west of ChatGPT’s one-year anniversary. Do you know where your data is? Do you know who has access to it? Is the cloud secure enough for your private LLM? IBM is has been asking the same question.
Trust is the key to *ai* for business and humans. Can we unleash quantum computing on the current LLM models without risk of disaster? What about the climate and the data centers being built and engineered to support the power requests of Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Gates, and their AI Takeover fantasies? Can *ai* solve it’s own power and cooling problems? Is there a math way out of our current Earth-heating trajectory? And is generative ai worth the blistering cost?
Trust.
Do you trust Facebook and LinkedIn with your personal data and random thoughts? Are you ready to upload the “catalog of you” to me.ai and build your own virtual instance? Have you had a conversation with your own GPT bot or heard your voice reading back your words? We’re headed into jagged terrain leading to Blade Runner or Terminator. Even the Pope is getting a word of fear in about *ai* today.
The word for *ai* is trust. I’m not clear on how we’re going to keep our boundaries safe. Are you?
*the rest of the words were human-generated with assistance from grammerly.
I am interested in the zero trust conversation and how it will interleave with the hyper-growth spread of artificial intelligence advancements. Your thoughts and questions are welcome.
