And no wonder: in 2023, there is increasing talk about the dominance of artificial intelligence over humanity, or at least about whether it will become a revolutionary force for good or apocalyptic destruction.

According to publishers, use of the word has quadrupled this year.

According to the Managing Director Collins Dictionary Alex Beecroft, AI is “the talk of 2023.”

“We know that artificial intelligence has been in the spotlight this year because it has evolved and quickly become as integrated into our lives as email, streaming services or any other futuristic and now everyday technology,” he said .

Journalists asked the ChatGPT chatbot to comment on this news.

“The selection of AI as Collins Dictionary's word of the year reflects the profound impact of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence on our world, where innovation and transformation are driven by the power of algorithms and data,” he responded.
