Episode notes
Microsoft partnered with OpenAI to build a platform that would meet the needs of high-ambition AI experts. The partnership allowed Microsoft to leverage OpenAI's expertise and avoid internal biases. The initial success of the partnership was seen in pushing the development of AI supercomputers and training models. There were ideological disagreements between the teams regarding the approach of using foundation models versus training one's own models. However, there is increasing belief in the power of deep neural networks and transformers. Microsoft relies on OpenAI for developing core AI technology, while they work together on implementation and deployment. They have a collaboration process in place, including a deployment safety board for reviewing and approving launches. Elon Musk's claims that Microsoft controls OpenAI are false, as the partnership is based on alignment and independence. Having an independent partner helps Microsoft avoid insularity and ensures a successful partnership.
