OpenAI to Launch GPT Store: Democratizing AI Applications

OpenAI is set to launch its GPT store, turning the chat GPT into a marketplace for AI-driven applications similar to the App Store or Google Store. The move raises questions about whether this could be a pivotal moment in democratizing AI by providing specific applications accessible to the general public. It also suggests that GPTs are the precursor to full AI agents that can take actions on users' behalf, such as managing finances or scheduling meetings. Licensing deals between AI companies and content creators are expected to increase, while a lawsuit between OpenAI and the New York Times highlights the need for legal agreements and compensation for the use of training content.
