The year 2023 witnessed significant developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Collins dictionary named AI as its word of the year, describing AI-powered language models as “exploding into public awareness” and “buzzing” in 2023. Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia stated that ChatGPT, one of the AI ​​chatbots, is the most viewed page in English. So, what happened in the field of AI in 2023?

First of all, OpenAI's free launch of its AI chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022 was considered the beginning of the modern AI era. Reaching 100 million weekly users in 2023, ChatGPT quickly became a household name. This became the catalyst that started a race among the industry's tech giants to develop the most powerful models and dominate the market. Google has developed a rival AI model against OpenAI called Bard and released its most powerful model, Gemini, in December.
