A consumer-based AI wave is coming

The majority of investment in the current AI boom has been directed towards enterprise applications, technology utilized for professional purposes. However, the most significant triumphs in the tech industry, which have propelled entire stock markets for years, have predominantly originated from consumer-focused products. Marissa Mayer, who launched a consumer AI application named Dazzle and appeared on Semafor's Future Proof podcast, predicts that by 2030, consumer AI will be approximately double the size of enterprise AI.

Dazzle, an AI personal assistant, primarily analyzes users' photo albums to gather information about them, setting it apart from other AI productivity tools that typically scrutinize email and calendar data. Despite its limited source of data, Dazzle's capabilities are remarkable. Should this consumer-focused AI wave materialize, the public's perception of AI may undergo a dramatic transformation.

Given the recent election outcomes, it appears highly unlikely that the public's view of AI could deteriorate further.
