This chapter explores the rise of AI technology in public consciousness, particularly through ChatGPT and its accessibility compared to earlier models. It examines how significant investments, especially Microsoft's funding in OpenAI, have influenced the generative AI landscape and the shifting perceptions of skeptics towards large language models. Additionally, it discusses Apple's strategic partnership with OpenAI, the competitive landscape among tech giants, and the challenges of overcoming limitations in AI models.
When ChatGPT launched in late 2022, it was the first – and only – exposure most of the world had to AI. Not yet two years later, there’s already a lot more competition.
Jeremy Kahn is the AI Editor at Fortune Magazine and the author of the new book, “Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to our Superpowered Future.” Alex Friedman caught up with Kahn to talk about the current AI landscape. They also discuss:
- Bill Gates’ initial hesitancy to invest in OpenAI.
