The new conversational AI platform ChatGPT was launched back in November 2022 making international headlines as users flocked to test its ability to give human-like, detailed answers to enquiries. The Financial Times said it was “eerily impressive”, however equally warned that its answers should be taken with a pinch of salt: “Its smooth, articulate voice is usually persuasive, but cannot be relied on fully,” the FT said in a report.
Tech giant Microsoft has shown its appetite for ChatGPT as it made a second billion-pound investment last week. In other sectors, such as education, one source hailed the model for rearranging a student’s ‘messy’ piece of writing, keeping all the original words, however schools in New York City, for example, have banned using the model over concern that it could lead to widespread cheating, suggesting the limitations to ChatGPT.
Concern and credibility aside, Alphabet-owned Google said that the AI tool will make for serious competition as it declared the bot a ‘code red’.
To see ChaptGPT in action for ourselves, TechInformed investigated how aligned it was with industry leaders and their predictions for 2023 by asking ChatGPT what tech trends it expects this year, focussing on 5G, IoT, AI and the metaverse.

“5G networks are expected to have a significant impact on healthcare in 2023. The high-speed, low-latency, and high-capacity characteristics of 5G networks will enable new use cases and applications that were not possible before.
“One of the main areas where 5G will impact healthcare is in the field of telemedicine. 5G networks will enable doctors and healthcare professionals to conduct remote consultations, monitor patients remotely, and share medical images and data in real-time. This can improve access to healthcare in remote and underserved areas and reduce the need for patients to travel for appointments.
“Another area where 5G will impact healthcare is in the field of medical imaging. The high-speed and low-latency of 5G networks will enable doctors and healthcare professionals to share and analyze medical images in real-time. This can improve the accuracy and speed of diagnoses and treatment planning.
“5G will also have a major impact on the field of medical devices and wearables. It will enable real-time monitoring and control of medical devices, such as pacemakers, and will allow for the development of new devices such as virtual reality and augmented reality for medical purposes.
“Additionally, the integration of 5G with artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing will enable more advanced applications such as real-time monitoring, control, and prediction in healthcare, for example, in the field of drug discovery and precision medicine.
“It’s also worth noting that the security of healthcare data will be a major concern and a focus area as 5G networks will be used to transmit sensitive medical information. Therefore, ensuring the security and privacy of healthcare data will be crucial.”
“One of the main areas of growth for IoT in 2023 will be in the field of industrial IoT, also known as Industry 4.0. IoT technologies will be used to improve efficiency, productivity, and automation in manufacturing and other industrial processes. This can include things like predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and control of equipment and facilities.
“Another area of growth for IoT will be in the field of smart cities. IoT technologies will be used to improve the efficiency and sustainability of city services such as transportation, lighting, and waste management. Smart cities can also improve the quality of life of citizens through the use of IoT technologies in areas such as public safety and healthcare.
“In addition, we can expect to see more IoT devices and applications in the field of healthcare. IoT technologies will be used to improve patient care and monitoring, remote consultations, and the management of chronic conditions.
“It’s also worth noting that the use of IoT devices and applications will increase in the field of agriculture, which can improve the efficiency, productivity and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
“Lastly, with the increased deployment of 5G networks and the integration of AI and edge computing, we can expect to see more advanced applications and use cases for IoT, such as real-time monitoring, control, and prediction. The security of IoT devices will continue to be a major concern and focus area, ensuring that they are protected against cyber-attacks and malicious actors.”
TI’s 2023 Informed: IoT and Telecoms predictions said 2023 will be the year of IoT and 5G, as ChatGPT also suggested. Industry experts also bet on satellite take off, with the likes of telcos partnering with non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to help close the digital divide.
“It is difficult to predict exactly how artificial intelligence (AI) will develop in 2023, as research and development in the field is constantly evolving. However, it is likely that we will see continued advancements in areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning. These advancements will likely lead to more sophisticated and capable AI systems that can perform a wider range of tasks. Additionally, we may see more widespread use of AI in various industries, such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
“Another important area of AI development will be in the field of Explainable AI (XAI) which is an AI that can provide a human-understandable explanation of its predictions, decisions, and recommendations. This will be important in domains such as healthcare, finance, and justice where transparency is crucial.
“Moreover, the development of GPT-like models that can generate human-like text, audio, and video, will be a great step in natural language generation and generation of fake videos and images.
