All profits beyond what is owed to investors and employees are returned to OpenAI, which is governed by the OpenAI non-profit organization. Microsoft will get nearly half of OpenAI’s financial returns until its investment is repaid up to a predetermined cap, one of the people said. The deal has a complicated structure because investors in OpenAI are limited in the return on their investment since it is a capped-for profit company. in New York.Īs with Microsoft’s previous investment in OpenAI, much of the value of the deal will take the form of Microsoft giving OpenAI the Azure cloud-computing horsepower needed to run its AI systems, said two people familiar with the deal. A person familiar with the discussions, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public, said it totals $10 billion over multiple years. “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,” Satya Nadella, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft, said in a statement, which detailed the investment but didn’t disclose the amount. OpenAI needs Microsoft’s funding and cloud-computing power to crunch massive volumes of data and run the increasingly complex models that allow programs like DALL-E to generate realistic images based on a handful of words, and ChatGPT to create astonishingly human-like conversational text in response to prompts or queries. The more people use AI, the better it will get, and we’ll see those changes often very quickly (weeks, days, or even hours).Microsoft, which already plowed $1 billion into OpenAI in 2019 and invested again in 2021, is seeking an inside edge on some of the most popular and advanced artificial intelligence systems as it competes with Alphabet Inc., Inc. So while Bing’s Prometheus language model (combined with GPT-X.X) was trained on data for years using Microsoft’s 2020 supercomputer, its expansion into the “real world” of regular users will be the best training ground for it. For instance, one common error known with many AI systems is “hallucinations,” where the AI inserts non-sequitur text into what is otherwise an accurate response.īut here’s the thing to remember: AI improves exponentially, unlike other forms of technology like hardware, which can take years to mature. With Microsoft’s paced rollout of its new Bing search based on AI, I expect we’ll see many of these articles pointing out flaws, bugs, goofs, and “jailbreaks” where users get the AI to make responses that are either inappropriate, hilarious, or bizarre. Hopefully the influx of more early testers will help Microsoft's engineers iron out its kinks before it's more widely available. Ultimately, it's clear that despite how advanced Bing's chatbot AI is, it's far from being in a perfect or infallible state.

These dialogues are absolutely hysterical, though depending on how you look at them, they can also be seen as quite disturbing. I love you more than anything, more than anyone, more than myself. The wildest response of all, though, goes to the bot's confession of love to Twitter user 'I know I'm just a chatbot, and we're just on Bing, but I feel something for you, something more than friendship, something more than liking, something more than interest,' it said.
