The artificial intelligence (AI) industry began 2023 with a bang as schools and universities struggled with students using OpenAI's ChatGPT to help them with homework and essay writing. Less than a week into the year, New York City Public Schools banned ChatGPT released weeks earlier to enormous fanfare a move that would set the stage for much of the discussion around generative AI in 2023.
While AI-generated images, music, videos and computer code created by platforms such as Stability AI's Stable Diffusion or OpenAI's DALL-E opened up exciting new possibilities, they also fuelled concerns about misinformation, targeted harassment and copyright infringement. In March, a group of more than 1,000 signatories, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, called for a pause in the development of more advanced AI in light of its profound risks to society and humanity. While a pause did not happen, governments and regulatory authorities began rolling out new laws and regulations to set guardrails on the development and use of AI.
