A chatbot powered by artificial intelligence called ChatGPT caught the attention of the mainstream media last year because it could answer various questions via text and engage in a conversation using written prompts. Compared to previous Silicon Valley chatbots, it offers more creative and sophisticated answers.
OpenAI’s expertise is in developing software with the ability to acquire new skills and modify its approach to existing ones. Casual users and industry professionals alike have been raving about ChatGPT since the company released the app last month, which has been well praised by both users and specialists in the field. Although there’s no confirmation about the finalization of the deal, Semafor reported that a deal closing date of the end of 2022 was indicated in term sheets which was later sent to prospective investors.
A 75% share of OpenAI’s profits will be awarded to Microsoft until the organization has recovered its investment. Ultimately, Microsoft will gain access to OpenAI’s tools and the chance to influence their direction. Thus Microsoft will be able to stay ahead of changing consumer technology as a result of this.
