This is how I suspect AI in the next decade is going to play out. APIs interacting with each other to create hybrid generative systems.

So imagine you have an AI assistant, "Fred". You ask Fred how many calories are in a tonne of Lucky Charms. Fred uses an API call to a recommender AI that tells Fred who to ask to calculate that, and it's Wolfram. Fred makes an API call to Wolfram and parses the response back to you.

Rather than one company "dominating" I feel like there will be hundreds of these specialist AI systems.

This sounds plausible. But wouldn't it be inefficient?

Not much more so than today's web applications, IMO. Most web calls end up pulling data or resources from several APIs as it is when you request a page.

My take on the multiple AI front is that these AI systems will be like apps themselves. Too specialized to dominate, but could potentially excel an area of expertise better than a generalized monolithic AI, if it is properly fine-tuned.
