NVIDIA’s dominance will remain largely unchallenged, investment in humanoid robots will decline, Apple’s on-device AI research will gain momentum, and a research paper by an AI scientist will be accepted at a major conference.
Lastly, a GenAI-based video game is expected to achieve breakout success.
