My top predictions for 2024, which revolve around AI, cyber, India & the economy. I think next year will be better than most expect – but the current geopolitical climate is a real wildcard. Check out my LinkedIn post where I expand on my thinking: https://t.co/EG8Nr7jEUU pic.twitter.com/M6Neyj9dsN

Chambers made several predictions for 2024, including that artificial intelligence (AI) would undergo fundamental technological changes, surpassing the impact of combined internet and cloud transformations. He anticipated AI becoming mainstream and driving a significant shift from the digital era to the AI era.
In the context of business, Chambers highlighted the demand for AI-operated results in 2024, affecting everything from evaluations to earnings. He warned that companies failing to leverage AI might face challenges, both startups and large corporations alike.
Chambers also expressed his belief that AI would dominate markets and intellectual property more than our current understanding, foreseeing continuous developments throughout the year. He predicted a decline in the valuation of unicorn startups (those valued at $10 billion or more) in 2024, with potential setbacks for existing ones. However, he found interest in observing how new unicorns and decacorns (those valued at $10 billion+) could signal innovation in any country, sparking curiosity about which states would lead in this aspect.
