The evolution of AI: From AlphaGo to AI agents, physical AI, and beyond

The release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022 marked another significant milestone in the evolution of AI. ChatGPT, a large language model capable of generating human-like text, demonstrated the potential of AI to understand and generate natural language. This capability opened up new possibilities for AI applications, from customer service to content creation. The world responded to ChatGPT with a mix of awe and excitement, recognizing the potential of AI to transform how humans communicate and interact with technology to enhance our lives. Today, the rise of agentic AI -- systems capable of advanced reasoning and task execution -- is revolutionizing the way organizations operate.
