I don’t have a crystal ball, but if I got one this year, it would almost certainly be equipped with AI, like an increasing number of gadgets.

I do have access to ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Meta AI. These AI services also don’t have crystal balls, nor do they have the ability to predict the future, but they do have access to a great deal of data, which helps them essentially regurgitate things they’ve learned on the web, including websites that speculate. So, in the spirit of disclosure, I did consult these three AI agents, but in the spirit of sanity, I vetted everything they said, came up with my own ideas and wrote the text myself. Although, when it comes to the future, accuracy is hit and miss. As is always the case with columns like these, predictions are speculative, regardless of whether they come from AI, press reports or my imagination.
