While not as famous as the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), The Collins Dictionary has been naming their word of the year since 2013. This year they have chosen AI as the 2023 Word of the Year.
A few years back, if you mentioned the acronym “AI” in common parlance, you would have had to be explaining that you are referring to artificial intelligence. Fast forward to 2023 and that is far from the case. You speak about AI and you will enter a conversation with someone who is a little scared about losing their job to a machine. Ever since ChatGPT was launched in November 2022, online searches for AI have surged. The AI market is projected to grow by nearly 800 per cent to around $1.8 trillion, according to the World Economic Forum.
The Collins Dictionary was first published in 1824 and now contains over 4.5 billion words.
So now you know.
