The Year in Computer Science
The year brought many advances in computer science.
In 2023, artificial intelligence dominated popular culture — showing up in everything from internet memes to Senate hearings. Large language models such as those behind ChatGPT fueled a lot of this excitement, even as researchers still struggled to pry open the "black box" that describes their inner workings. Image generation systems also routinely impressed and unsettled us with their artistic abilities.
The year brought many other advances in computer science. Researchers made subtle but important progress on one of the oldest problems in the field, a question about the nature of hard problems referred to as "P versus NP."
The year was also full of more discrete but still important pieces of individual progress.
