Microsoft just announced a surprise event focused on the artificial intelligence for tomorrow February 7th with his CEO Satya Nadella and the Open AI CEOcreators of ChatGPT and WALL-E. And while, Google just presented Bardand will hold its own event on February 8th. The Artificial Intelligence War has started.
We knew it would happen, but not so fast. Google has seen its 20-year-old empire shaken by a little piece of software called ChatGPT, introduced just two months ago. He has panicked, and has put the batteries to develop software for artificial intelligence.
Microsoftfor its part, has done what the technological giants usually do: why waste years researching, when you can buy either invest in the companies that create the technology.
That is why it has invested 10,000 million dollars in Open AIand has signed an alliance for integrate ChatGPT and DALL-E into your services. In return, OpenAI will use its Azure cloud to deliver its services, including the recently announced ChatGPT Plus paid subscription.
In other times Microsoft would have bought OpenAI outright, but now, with the problems it is having with the purchase of Blizzard Activision, it has preferred to ally itself. Although the purchase is not ruled out.
Google and Microsoft announce AI events at the same time
Since the weekend there were rumors that Google would present his bet for the AI in a live keynote he February 8th.
But a few hours ago Microsoft went ahead, announcing its surprise event for a day before, tomorrow February 7thwith Satya Nadella and the OpenAI CEO Sam Altman:
Just a few minutes later, the very Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has written on the official blog presenting Bard, his artificial intelligence to compete with ChatGPT. We assume that he still keeps the event live on February 8.
and what is it will present Microsoft tomorrow? Well, it is assumed that, at least, the integration of ChatGPT in Bing, which was already leaked a few days ago.
But surely, since the two CEOs meet, they will take the opportunity to announce something else. maybe ChatGPT integration in Officeor even the new version GPT-4even smarter and smarter.
Why have Google and Microsoft become obsessed with AI?
In the two months that it has been in operation, ChatGPT has shown that it can convert Google search engine in a boring relic. Artificial intelligence not only searches, but makes it easier for you.
You can ask him for things like organizing a weekend trip with a budget of 100 euros, suggesting recipes with the four things you have in the fridge, or finding you a store with free shipping in one day, keeping in mind stock a red iphone for less than 600 euros.
Now instead of heading to a place, and there you make do, the AI can perform deep and chained searches, saving you a lot of time. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Microsoft organize a tomorrow AI event with the Open AI CEOwhere he will present ChatGPT integrated into Bing. Google he will do the same February 8thTo present Bard, the rival of ChatGPT. The artificial intelligence war It has begun, and it is only the beginning.
