Generative artificial intelligence, tech that can invent virtually any content someone can think up and type into a text box, is garnering not just venture investment in Silicon Valley but interest in Davos at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this week.
Defining the category is ChatGPT, a chatbot that the startup called OpenAI released in November. The tech works by learning from vast amounts of data how to answer any prompt by a user in a human-like way, offering information like a search engine would or prose like an aspiring novelist.
AI capabilities will "completely transform" all of Microsoft's products, he said in an on-stage interview with the Wall Street Journal. Later on Tuesday, the political sphere gets to weigh in on the craze. French politician Jean-Noël Barrot planned to join a panel discussion with a Sony Group Corp executive on the technology's impact.
Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies Inc, a software provider helping governments visualize an army's movements or enterprises vet their supply chains, among other tasks, said such AI could have military applications.
