It takes a lot to impress her and ChatGPT seems to have done just that. Inside a blog post published on Tuesday, March 21, Bill Gates says he is amazed by the potential and progress of artificial intelligence developed by the launch of OpenAI. The Microsoft co-founder believes it is the most revolutionary technological advance since the graphical user interface (GUI) was introduced in 1980.
A promising technology but still perfectible
To back up his comments, Bill Gates explains that he issued a challenge to the OpenAI teams: train an artificial intelligence capable of pass an exam in biology at the college level. “I thought this challenge would keep them busy for two or three years. They accepted it in just a few months,” he explains. The latter, however, acknowledged that the emergence of this technology raised legitimate questions.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence will continue to “improve very rapidly,” argues Bill Gates. In fact, OpenAI formalized, on Tuesday, March 14, the latest version of ChatGTP, GPT-4, a new model capable of understanding both text and images.
In addition, as a sign of Microsoft’s interest in OpenAI’s artificial intelligence, the US technology giant, a partner of the latter, announced the integration of GPT-4 directly into its Bing search engine and presented Copilot, a virtual assistant based on this same version and implemented directly in the Microsoft 365 office suite (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
