What a long, strange year it’s been in enterprise tech news

 The year of generative AI and the controversy around Salesforce

pologies to the : Grateful Dead, but in terms of 2023 corporate IT news, what a weird, long year it has been. After a great deal of Salesforce controversy, ChatGPT and generative AI took over and seemed to emerge out of nowhere to take over the news cycle this year.

There were still a ton of other entrepreneurial stories that made the news this year, despite the fact that AI was obviously a major impact on a lot of the news, including my own coverage. 

The growing use of generative AI in business 

Talking about this year's news cycle would be incomplete without mentioning the influence of generative AI. It would have been difficult to predict the influence ChatGPT would have on corporate software in the months ahead when OpenAI introduced it at the end of the previous year. But it might be genuinely revolutionary, altering how we use software, and it might be the largest shift in UX (user experience) design since point-and-click.
