Encyclopedic overview
An AI boom is a period of rapid growth in the field of artificial intelligence. The most recent boom happened in the early 2020s before seeing increased acceleration and media coverage. Examples of this include generative AI technologies, such as large language models (LLM) and AI image generators developed by companies like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, as well as scientific advances, such as protein folding prediction led by Google DeepMind and Google AI. This period is sometimes referred to as an AI spring, a term used to differentiate it from previous AI winters. As of 2025, ChatGPT has emerged as the 4th-most visited website globally, surpassed only by Google, YouTube, and Facebook.
