2024 AI Recap: The Year AI Went Mainstream

The Prompt

From OpenAI's Sora, which lets you create entire videos from just a text prompt, to DeepMind's Med-PaLM 2 outperforming human doctors in diagnostics, AI has been nothing short of revolutionary.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing—while businesses embraced AI, consumer satisfaction lagged, reminding us that technology should enhance, not replace, the human touch.

In 2024 we saw the FTC's Operation AI Comply, which slapped a $1.2 billion fine on companies for deceptive marketing. This served as a wake-up call, emphasizing the need for ethical AI deployment. Yet, despite these challenges, AI quietly integrated into our daily lives, contributing a whopping $1.2 trillion to the global economy.

On a personal note, Jim shares how AI has transformed his own ventures, from automating tasks to creating his first album with Suno AI. His team at Bara Agency even developed Bara AI, a tool that crafts podcast content in seconds, saving clients time while maintaining brand voice. It's a testament to AI's potential to work smarter, not harder.
