Rewinding to the Past: March 2023 Witnesses a Groundbreaking AI Breakthrough

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most dynamic and exciting fields of technology in recent time, with new breakthroughs and applications emerging every single month. March, 2023 was an exceptional month for AI as several small to large announcements related to AI were made by companies of all sizes. There were product launches and what not. In this blog post, we will rewind and review some of the most notable AI events and achievements that took place in March 2023, and what they mean for the future of AI.

One of the biggest news in AI last month was the release of GPT-4, a new language model developed by OpenAI that has 10 trillion parameters, making it the largest and most powerful AI model ever created. GPT-4 can generate coherent and diverse texts on any topic, given a few words or sentences as input. It can also answer questions, write summaries, create chatbots, and perform many other natural language processing tasks. GPT-4 is a remarkable achievement that demonstrates the rapid progress and potential of AI in language understanding and generation.

Another major development in AI last month was the announcement of Copilot, a new tool from Microsoft that uses AI to help users navigate the Microsoft 365 environment more efficiently and effectively. Copilot is a conversational AI assistant that can understand natural language commands and queries, and provide relevant information, suggestions, and actions. For example, Copilot can help users find files, schedule meetings, create documents, and access various features and applications within Microsoft 365. Copilot is designed to make work easier and more productive for millions of Microsoft 365 users.

A third notable event in AI last month was the AI UK 2023 conference, hosted by The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and AI. The conference took place on 21-22 March 2023 in London, and featured speakers from academia, industry, government, and civil society. The conference showcased some of the latest research and innovations in AI, as well as discussed the ethical, social, and economic implications of AI for society. The conference also celebrated the achievements and contributions of Alan Turing, one of the pioneers and founders of AI.

These are just some of the highlights of the AI breakthroughs that happened in March 2023. There were many other events and achievements that demonstrated the diversity and impact of AI in various domains and sectors. Some of these are:

1. GitHub released Copilot X, the revolutionary AI-powered coding assistant to make the future of coding easier than ever
2. Adobe launched FireFly, a generative AI tool to create impressive text effects and high-quality images with ease.
3. Together released OpenChatKit, an open source alterative to ChatGPT
