Unlock Your Superpowers: AI on Demand with OpenAI!
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has taken steps to attract developers by offering reduced prices and simplified customization options for their artificial intelligence “agents.” These agents can now be easily tailored to assist with a wide range of tasks, including providing laundry tips and aiding in contract negotiations.
Dreams of the benefits of generative artificial intelligence—and fears of the technology’s risks—have been hot topics in the tech world since ChatGPT made its blockbuster debut a year ago.
“We can do more, create more and get more,” Open AI CEO Sam Altman told developers at a meeting in San Francisco.
“With intelligence integrated everywhere, we all have superpowers on demand.”
More than 2 million developers build on the OpenAI platform, while more than 100 million people use ChatGPT weekly, according to the San Francisco-based startup.
“About a year ago, on November 30, we sent ChatGPT as a low-key research preview,” Altman said.
“That went pretty well,” he murmured.
The launch of ChatGPT ignited an artificial intelligence competition, where competitors included Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta.
Altman has testified before the US Congress about AI and spoken to heads of state about the technology as pressure has steadily mounted to regulate it to manage risks such as the potential use of AI in bioweapons, misinformation and other threats.
Last week, President Joe Biden issued an executive order regulating artificial intelligence, with the goal of having the United States “lead the way” in global efforts to manage the risks of the new technology.
According to the White House, the order directs federal agencies to set new security standards for artificial intelligence systems and requires developers to “share their security test results and other important information with the US government.”
The world’s first major AI security summit was held in the UK last week, with political and technology leaders discussing possible responses to the technology that is transforming society.
“Smarter Model”
Altman announced a “Turbo” version of OpenAI’s flagship software, along with reduced prices that could help the technology spread.
“It’s a smarter model,” Altman said of the ChatGPT-4 Turbo.
“We decided to prioritize price first, but we’re going to work on speed next.”
OpenAI is introducing the ability to create custom “agents” called “GPTs” that can handle specific tasks, such as advice on business negotiations, tips on how to remove laundry stains, help with homework and technical support, it said in a blog post. .
“Anyone can easily build their own GPT – no coding required,” OpenAI said.
“You can make them for yourself, just for your company’s internal use, or for everyone.”
Later this month, OpenAI will launch a GPT “shop” and plans to add a way for developers to earn money based on how many people use their GPT, according to the company.
“I’m really looking forward to Turbo and everything else you have coming,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said as he joined Altman on stage.
“We love you guys. You’ve built something magical.”
Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI and integrated the company’s technology into its offerings, including the search engine Bing.
According to Yory Wurmser, principal analyst at Insider Intelligence, OpenAI’s latest moves should make it easier to create conversational AI interfaces in apps or websites, opening the door for more companies.
“Artificial intelligence is nothing more than digital brains in big computers,” OpenAI founder and principal scientist Ilya Sutskever said at the recent TED AI conference in San Francisco.
And the day will come when those digital brains will “outsmart us.”
