rom immersive multimodal interactions to cutting-edge sustainable infrastructures, AI is driving


innovation and reshaping business operations across all industries. Yet, businesses must address key challenges, including data quality, regulatory compliance, and environmental impact, to unlock its full potential. Te best uses of AI go beyond reproducing


data; they also enable users to interact with it in meaningful and intuitive ways. One area of growth is multimodal AI, which integrates inputs from various sources, such as text, audio, video, and sensory modalities, to improve both functionality and accuracy. For example, multimodal AI can interpret voice commands and facial expressions to understand the context of a user’s request more effectively, enabling more accurate responses. In smart cities, visual data from cameras and environmental sensor inputs can combine

to enhance traffic flow, plan public services, and respond to emergencies. We can also expect AI to create increasingly


personalised services that cater to individual needs. In healthcare, for instance, patient services could become more efficient and targeted, providing treatments tailored to medical history, previous responses to treatment, and expected effectiveness. Similarly, in education, compulsory


workplace training could be revolutionised. Imagine training programs that adapt not only based on completed modules but also on interactions with the material, performance metrics and career progression goals. AI could


transform how people learn – whether in schools, workplaces, or other settings – by tailoring education to individual needs.
