Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
Ian Goodfellow introduced GANs — two neural networks (generator and discriminator) competing against each other, one creating fake data and the other trying to detect it. The concept allegedly came to him during a bar conversation. Yann LeCun called GANs 'the most interesting idea in the last 10 years in ML.'

DALL-E: Text to Image Generation
OpenAI unveiled DALL-E, a model that could generate images from text descriptions — 'an armchair in the shape of an avocado' became iconic. Built on GPT-3's architecture adapted for images, it showed that language models could bridge the gap between text and visual creativity.
