A ChatGPT keltette felfokozott érdeklődés óriási lendületet adott az MI-fejlesztéseknek. De ahelyett, hogy válaszokat kaptunk volna, jobbára csak a kérdések sokasodtak. Bevonul-e az MI a mainstream technológiák közé, és ha igen (mert kétségünk nem lehet: bevonul), mikor? Milyen hatással lesz a régebbi adattechnológiákra, az üzleti analitikára vagy a big datára?
