When OpenAI made ChatGPT available in November 2022, public debate about artificial intelligence changed. By 2026 the topic remained central and people discussed both risks and benefits.
Generative AI had mixed effects: it disrupted education, gave some coders new tools, and was used in war. Many companies still lack clear business models, yet leaders often describe their systems with human words.
