Artificial intelligence (AI) have shaped in 2024 as it has been a pivotal year for technological progress. AI has continued to dominate the headlines, whether it’s through transforming creative processes or reshaping how businesses operate.
2024 also saw AI becoming more accessible into everyday life, from smart assistants and AI-driven chatbots to innovations in autonomous vehicles and personalised medicine. Breakthroughs in areas like ethical AI, regulatory frameworks, and AI safety have added new dimensions to the conversation. As we look back on the key AI stories of 2024, we also look ahead to how these developments will continue to influence our world, shaping industries.
AI Takes Centre Stage
Tech giants such as Google Cloud and AWS have been at the forefront of developing AI agents, also referred to as agentic AI systems. These innovative tools are designed to make decisions and execute actions aligned with specific objectives. The popularity of agentic AI increased in 2024, largely due to its capacity to operate independently.
Agentic AI is set to revolutionise the workplace, with predictions indicating that by 2028, at least 15 % of daily work-related decisions will be handled autonomously by these systems.
AI PC Is Here
The integration of artificial intelligence into personal computers has been a major highlight in the PC market in 2024. However, two of the most anticipated AI-powered feature sets—Microsoft Copilot+ and Apple Intelligence—are not yet accessible to all users. Apple Intelligence is expected to roll out across all Macs equipped with the company’s M-series processors, while Copilot+ features are limited to select PCs that include a neural processing unit (NPU) in their system-on-chip architecture.
OpenAI Enters Search Domain To Increase Competition & Break Monopoly
Google has long been the king of search, leaving other competitors like Microsoft Bing, Mozilla Firefox, and others behind. The Alphabet-owned company has created a monopoly in the search market. Now, Sam Altman-led OpenAI has entered this domain to break the monopoly. OpenAI unveiled SearchGPT to take on Google head-on.
Turning Imagination Into Video Becomes A Matter Of Seconds
We can simply type a text while describing the video that we want, then AI tools like Midjourney, Sora, and others will turn that text prompt into a final output video which will resemble what we wanted in the first place. Though there’s a limit on the free version of these tools, the paid versions offer more accessibility.

The advanced system has been able to detect nearly 1 million spammers daily on Airtel’s network, with 6 % of all calls and 2 percent of all SMS flagged as spam.
