AI boom started in 2016

Go playing by AlphaGo was in 2016, fake images by Nvidia was in 2018, GPT was in 2018.

It definitely didn’t start booming in 2020, but a few years before.

Each of these above were a surprise at how soon they were invented, earlier, experts were seeing such types of AI at least a decade off.—Homei (talk) 11:26, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The rapid advances in AI research and the ever-improving quality of AI applications began in the mid-to-late 2010s, although these applications only gradually became available to the general public and reported in the media beginning in the early 2020s.

Which one is the "Spring" and which one is the "boom"? If the Spring is generative AI, that may exclude AlphaGo. GPT is even later and more specific. Senorangel (talk) 03:33, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AI spring → AI boom – A minority of sources refer to the topic as an "AI spring"; most use the terminology "AI boom". 2 references in the article use spring, and 5 use boom. Additionally, see Google News hits for boom and spring; the vast majority of "spring" hits are false positives (referring to the season or last name spring), while there are a multitude of articles that use boom.

Years

When did the AI boom start? The opening sentence was changed today, and the starting timeframe changed from the early 2020s to the mid-2010s. I’m wondering which timeframe should be included in the first sentence. –Gluonz talk contribs 15:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is more in line with other parts of the article. The date can be narrowed down in the future if its scope becomes better defined. Senorangel (talk) 23:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Where? Almost all of the article appears to be about 2020 and later. Only a brief part of the history section seems to cover any pre-2020 events. –Gluonz talk contribs 00:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Before 2020 there was not as much interest in creating an article like this, but high quality sources [3] [4] [5] [6] do exist. Senorangel (talk) 00:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
