Learn how CIOs are responding in [this Trendline.]( NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Around this time last year, most leaders thought generative AI was nowhere near ready for tech stack integration. Today, having a strategy for the technology is no longer innovative — it’s expected. OpenAI didn't create generative AI, but the release of its conversational tool ChatGPT sparked a fire that caught the attention of the entire world. It’s been a whirlwind to cover, and there are still unanswered questions as companies forge on with adoption plans. A lot has changed in a short time, so I compiled a timeline to capture the [key advancements of generative AI]( in the last year. While not comprehensive, it serves as the highlight — and lowlight — reel of the technology. On a related note, the CIO Dive editorial team will take a look at what next year will bring for generative AI and its adoption as part of our live event on Dec. 6. [Save your spot by signing up](!
