Listen to the podcast:
Clippy 2.0: Microsoft is apparently in talks with OpenAI about an investment of up to $10 billion in the AI business. The software giant would also take advantage of OpenAI’s robust text generation tools, not only in its Bing search engine, but also in its Office suite.

Information that Microsoft is looking to deepen its existing cooperation with the Elon Musk-founded artificial intelligence company was first revealed by The Information. They also claim that the tech giant has already been stealthily integrating OpenAI’s text-generating software into Word via its auto-completion recommendations. This is something that has been said to have happened.
This relationship-building initiative is estimated to cost approximately $10 billion, according to additional anonymous insiders who spoke with Semafor and Bloomberg on the matter. The latest post added that the deal between the companies, which have been working together on Microsoft’s Azure AI system since at least 2019, when Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI, have been in negotiations over the proposed deal for months. This is because the companies have been working together on Microsoft’s Azure AI system since at least 2019.
In response to our inquiries about the reports, a Microsoft spokeswoman said the company does not comment on rumors or speculation.
Mean Girls: If the deal goes through (or, indeed, if Microsoft is already using OpenAI’s text-generating algorithms to strengthen its autocomplete suggestions), it could represent a step change in the public availability of next-generation AI of the company. This is especially significant following the company’s release of ChatGPT, which has sparked controversy for producing text that in some contexts is almost indistinguishable from human writing.

Since the release of ChatGPT, which is based on OpenAI’s GPT-3 language generation model, the company has received much criticism from academics and others concerned about the growing threat of artificial intelligence. In the past, this organization functioned as a charitable organization; however, it has since transitioned to a for-profit business model and was estimated to be worth $20 billion as of October. According to recent reports, the company has also been in talks with additional investors; If those deals are successful, the company’s value could soon approach or even exceed $30 billion.
At this point, it’s safe to say that OpenAI is the most popular girl in school. However, like anything else that’s popular, she’s subject to levels of scrutiny that are things other company founders have nightmares about.
