Microsoft relies on artificial intelligence. The US software group is therefore investing further billions in OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT software. It is not yet known exactly how much money will flow.
The US group Microsoft is pushing into the promising market for artificial intelligence and wants to invest billions in OpenAI. This was announced by Microsoft boss Satya Nadella on Twitter.
Nadella wrote of a long-term “multi-billion dollar investment” to accelerate California startup OpenAI’s commercial breakthrough. Microsoft wants to provide OpenAI with the best tools to make the application “safe and responsible” for customers, Nadella continued.
Total not yet known
A Microsoft spokesman did not want to comment on whether the volume would be ten billion dollars, as the media reported two weeks ago. So far, the “Office” provider has been involved with OpenAI with a billion dollars and wants to integrate ChatGPT into its search engine Bing, which has a difficult time against the market leader Google.
OpenAI boss Sam Altman praised the cooperation with Microsoft, which “shares our values”. The company hit the headlines around the world with the development of the artificial intelligence (AI)-based software ChatGPT. ChatGPT is software that simulates a conversation with a human and is currently free for anyone to try.
