... Sustainability
Kaitlyn Albertoli, CEO and co-founder of Buzz Solutions cites sustainability as a market for impact. ...
“There is a fundamental research challenge around energy use in the face of an energy crisis and climate change; it is estimated that 21% of the world’s overall energy usage by 2030 will be computing power alone, yet technologies in AI, cloud, and quantum are inherently power-hungry,” said John. ...
Security
Joseph Thacker, principal AI engineer and security researcher at AppOmni says AI security will be increasingly focused in 2024. ...
"There will be numerous startups, potentially hundreds, focused on AI security, and every major application will incorporate AI features, a shift that will inevitably introduce new vulnerabilities." ...
Commerce
Chris Anley, chief scientist at NCC Group, takes a different view and says commerce will be the most important AI trend for 2024. ...
"Organizations have struggled to keep up with the tricky balance of enabling staff to use these systems while keeping their sensitive information secure," said Anley. ...
"Businesses are seeing that there are real financial benefits to be gained – perhaps not the science fiction style capabilities predicted by some, but certainly practical, measurable improvements in productivity," said Anley. "Now that these benefits are becoming clearer - in financial terms - investment by companies in these systems will increase." ...
Enterprise
Varun Badhwar, CEO and co-founder of application security startup Endor Labs, predicts where AI will go from here. ...
Badhwar says businesses must prioritize the development of robust governance frameworks and visibility tools. "The focus should extend beyond the mere integration of AI solutions and encompass a holistic approach that addresses security, compliance, and ethical considerations," he said. ...
"In an era where data is a prized asset, and AI is a powerful catalyst for business growth, the responsibility lies with industry leaders, policymakers, and technology providers to collaboratively build a foundation for responsible AI adoption," adds Badhwar. ..."

So sustainability, security, commerce, and data protection should be key AI (artificial intelligence) drivers in 2024: all areas in which NWT is very strong.
Which further helps to help highlight what an excellent and overlooked AI play NWT is.
