AI Insights - ChatGPT: The Entry into the Mass Market of Artificial Intelligence

The launch of ChatGPT-3 on 30 November 2022 marks a milestone in the history of artificial intelligence (AI): after decades of development, it exposes to the light of day the power and possibilities offered by AI, which seem virtually limitless. Some observers view the emergence of ChatGPT-3 as the AI industry’s “iPhone” moment, with 1 million users in just five days (and over 100 million in two months), as many as Netflix in 3 years, making it the fastest adoption of a digital service in history. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, even said: “In my lifetime, I’ve seen two demonstrations of technology that struck me as revolutionary. The first time was in 1980 when I was introduced to a graphical user interface.

The second big surprise came just last year”, referring to OpenAI’s software. Alphabet/ Google CEO Sundar Pichai even declared “AI as the most profound technology humanity is working on – more profound than fire or electricity or anything that we’ve done in the past”.
