Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Between ChatGPT’s initial launch in November 2022 and today, Generative AI has morphed from an interesting new technology to a revolutionary development touching all industries.

The hottest topic of 2023 put chief information officers (CIOs) at the center of business conversations determining how to integrate the technology — or if organizations should use it at all. Through our reporting, we captured how generative AI's emergence created more of a conundrum than a solution for business technology.

Since CIO Dive provides in-depth journalism and insight for CIOs — an executive-level role that manages a company’s computer information and computer technology systems — the editorial team faced unquenchable reader interest in the topic.

CIOs and other business technology decision makers were reeling from vendors' whims to incorporate generative AI into any and every solution. At the same time, few mechanisms allowed organizations to determine if something was created by generative AI.

All told, CIO Dive produced more than 200 articles tied to AI news and the ensuing trends.

For every story tracking shifts in the inner workings of OpenAI — including breaking news tied to the generative AI pioneer's CEO ousting and rapid return — there was another story for readers on how to grow prompt engineering skills across their tech teams.

Coverage ranged from "how-to" articles that explained AI’s prompting tips and tricks to "so what" analysis pieces that looked at the ethical concerns that inspired reticence among CIOs.

CIO Dive spoke to scores of the biggest companies — Walmart, PwC, Amazon, P&G — to detail how they were using the technology and what parameters they put in place in their adoption. The team also spoke to the vendors building the technology, writing about what advances were on the horizon and where they were making training improvements.

Reporter Lindsey Wilkinson led the charge, interacting with generative AI to capture how it worked and to fuel stories that showed what the technology could — or could not — do. The team even went to Congressional hearings to capture the mixed reactions generative AI inspired from public stakeholders, equal parts concern and hype.

Editor Roberto Torres examined generative AI's effects on technology leaders, and Reporter Matt Ashare investigated how adopting the technology took up time, money and computing power, which taxed companies' broader technology plans from the pre-AI era.

The extensive coverage captured how generative AI touched every facet of business and how organizations could capitalize on it, which made the CIO Dive a must-read publication for executives who needed to navigate the technology.
