Alibaba’s research arm Damo Academy has recently published a list of top trends that are likely to shape the technology landscape this year.
Chief among them is the rise of generative AI, which recently set the world abuzz with ground-breaking applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, alongside promises of faster and better quality decision-making through the use of machine learning (ML).
