The startup OpenAI once wanted to save the world. Today, it’s mainly chasing profit and the idea of bringing general artificial intelligence to humanity.
OpenAI has shown us all, more than any other company, how far AI has come – and how this technology is likely to change all our lives.
The first thunderclap came last summer with the DALL·E 2 image generation software. Nestlé now also uses images created by DALL·E to promote its yogurts. OpenAI triggered a veritable earthquake when it released its chatbot ChatGPT to the public on Nov. 30, and public interest is so strong that ChatGPTs servers are regularly unavailable. Recently, the chatbot answered questions about the licensing procedure for doctors in the United States so well that it almost passed all three theoretical parts of the exam. Some financial firms are now having the program write a first draft of their quarterly reports.
But that is far from the culmination of what OpenAI has set out to do. Who exactly is the startup from San Francisco?
