Introduction
In November 2022, the first ‘mainstream’ AI chatbot, Chat GPT was launched and looking at Google trends, the term ‘AI’ saw a noticeable spike around this time. We then saw a larger spike in April 2023 due to the release of the next version of Chat GPT, version 4.0.
The trend is similar to the ‘3D’ movie fad that has appeared multiple times, but ‘AI’ seems to carry more value and longevity as opposed to being seen as a gimmick, and we are already seeing companies begin to integrate AI into their systems. Examples include AI being used to successfully process MRI images(3) and to assist with medical coding(4).
