Overall, the most notable advances in AI have been the development and release of GPT 3.5 and GPT 4. However, there have been many other breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. There are too many here.
Some of the most notable ones are listed below.
ChatGPT (and GPT)
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that can generate and translate natural language and answer questions. OpenAI is probably the most popular AI tool, but thanks to its widespread accessibility, it made waves in artificial intelligence by creating GPT 1, 2, and 3 before releasing ChatGPT.

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, and GPT-3 was the largest language model with 175 billion parameters when it was announced in 2020. Then came GPT-3.5, which enhanced ChatGPT's free tier. GPT-4, the largest version accessible through ChatGPT Plus or Microsoft Copilot, has 1 trillion parameters.
self-driving car
While the safety of self-driving cars is a top concern for potential users, breakthroughs in AI continue to advance and improve self-driving car technology. These vehicles use machine learning algorithms to combine data from sensors and cameras to perceive their surroundings and determine the best course of action.

When most people think of self-driving cars, the Autopilot feature in Tesla's electric cars is probably what comes to mind. Still, Google's parent company Alphabet's Waymo operates driverless taxi-style taxis in San Francisco, California, and Phoenix, Arizona.
Cruise is also a robotaxi service, and car companies like Audi, GM, and Ford are probably also working on self-driving car technology.
robotics
Boston Dynamics' work stands out in the fields of AI and robotics. While we're still a long way from developing AI at the level of technology seen in the Terminator movies, it's impressive to see how Boston Dynamics' robots use AI to navigate and respond to different terrains.
deep mind
Google's sister company DeepMind is an AI pioneer moving toward the ultimate goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Although it hasn't come to fruition yet, the company first made headlines in 2016 with its AlphaGo, a system that beats human professional Go players.
Since then, DeepMind has developed a protein folding prediction system that can predict complex 3D shapes of proteins. We've also developed a program that diagnoses eye diseases as effectively as the world's leading doctors.
