Between June 2022 and March 2023, the traffic volume for the keyword "AI" has tripled, going from around 7.9 million monthly searches to more than 30.4 million during the last month of the measured period. General interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded in markets like the United States by the end of 2022. Likewise, interest for the application programming interfaces (API's) and plugins of artificial intelligence solutions, especially those of ChatGPT, has also seen a major increase since the release of the tool in November of 2022.
The artificial intelligence market
Valued at around 142.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2022, the artificial intelligence market is one the most promising tech segments for the rest of the decade, with more than five billion U.S. dollars invested in startups - the most notable being the Californian company OpenAI and its flagship application ChatGPT. Disruptive as it is, the adoption of AI has already sparked an alert for several industries, likely to affect job markets and thus raising concerns about cybercrime and other online misdeeds.
The future of online search?
Of most industries, the impact of the new tool developed by OpenAI may be felt by the online search market like a global earthquake. With chatbots providing search results in a dialogue format, the trend of AI-powered search engines unleashed by ChatGPT threw giant companies like Google and Microsoft into a race with startups and other competitors to present the best candidate for this disruptive (and experimental) online solution.
