Like most companies that are referee to Big Tech collectively, Microsoft is betting big on AI, hoping that people will adopt the up-and-coming tech in a variety of ways.
Enthused with the adoption of AI so far, especially ChatGPT, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made a bold and sweeping statement – that he wants everyone to have their own AI assistant.
ChatGPT – the new companion
In November 2022, the introduction of ChatGPT created a major buzz in the tech industry, as well as the world. Shortly after its launch, conversations about this popular AI chatbot became widespread, as people discovered innovative ways to utilize its capabilities. Whether seeking help with crafting romantic poetry or seeking guidance on financial matters and entrepreneurial ventures, many individuals have benefited from the assistance of ChatGPT.
As a result, Nadella envisions a future where AI plays a role in assisting every person on the planet, reflecting his ambitious aspirations.
Nadella’s take on the future of AI
During an interview with Wired, Satya Nadella shared his vision of a future where every individual on Earth, all 8 billion people, would have access to an AI tutor, an AI doctor, a programmer, and potentially even a consultant. He expressed his desire for AI to be widely available as assistants and used to help people with their daily lives.
When asked about his thoughts on humans reaching the AGI superintelligence milestone, Nadella responded by emphasizing his focus on the positive aspects of AI rather than worrying about AGI. He expressed a personal connection to the issue, mentioning that the industrial revolution had a delayed impact on the regions where he grew up.
Nadella’s aspiration is to find something even more transformative than the industrial revolution, something that can bring about widespread advancements and prosperity for all individuals worldwide. He explained that he is not concerned about the arrival or rapid development of AGI, as he believes it would lead to abundance for all, creating a truly remarkable world to live in.
For the unversed, AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is a concept that refers to machines possessing the ability to comprehend the world to a similar extent as humans and autonomously make decisions. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has consistently emphasized the need for caution in AI usage, highlighting the rapid advancement of the technology and the necessity for regulations.
On Microsoft partnering up with OpenAI
Microsoft, which had previously invested in the parent company of ChatGPT, OpenAI, announced in January of this year that the two companies are further strengthening their partnership through a multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment. Microsoft has also dedicated a supercomputer to OpenAI, which allows them to carry out complex tasks such as training their LLM.
Nadella said, “We formed our partnership with OpenAI around a shared ambition to responsibly advance cutting-edge AI research and democratize AI as a new technology platform. In this next phase of our partnership, developers and organizations across industries will have access to the best AI infrastructure, models, and toolchain with Azure to build and run their applications.”
