The ChatGPT smart platform grabbed worldwide attention within 3 months of its launch in November 2022, with its user count reaching one million users within days of its launch.
And the platform allows you to write text topics on any topic you request in any language like you are talking to a professional writer, and it can write code professionally. Write code on the CoPilot system on the GitHub platform, which is based on the ChatGPT system, confirming that its accuracy has reached 80%.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella tells the story of a farmer in rural India, who messaged a "software robot" via WhatsApp to guide him in obtaining certain government services.
The software robot, which was based on the ChatGPT platform, showed the steps the Indian farmer needed to get the required services, but the farmer did not want to do these steps himself, so he asked the robot to do them on her. name, then the process was completed in seconds.
Microsoft has announced, by expanding its partnership with OpenAI, owner of the ChatGPT platform, its intention to develop scientific research in the field of artificial intelligence and to allow everyone to use this new field because it is the new technology platform of the world.
The new investment, which amounts to $10 billion over the next few years, will be a step in which Microsoft tries to reserve a place for itself in the future, as well as in which it seeks to renew its glories with the system. operating Windows in conjunction with the beginning of the era of desktop computers during the eighties and nineties of the last century.

The Microsoft official confirmed that the position of the Indian farmer reflects the widespread and rapid development of the ChatGPT intelligent platform, in particular the Generative Pretrained Transformer 3.5 model, or GPT-3.5 for short, as this model is a language developed and trained by OpenAI. , which has achieved superior development compared to the previous generation GPT-3.
Satya Nadella also pointed out that the revolutionary development that Internet users are currently witnessing with the ChatGPT platform reflects some of the characteristics of the future of the digital world. The revolutionary platform will act as a private tutor for each user, which will increase their productivity and increase their learning curve in less time and with less effort.
The Microsoft director pointed out that the current economic recession reflects the importance of relying on artificial intelligence-based software tools such as the ChatGPT platform, as these tools help increase the productivity of individuals with minimal effort. the effort, in addition to significantly reducing expenses, which will boost the local and global economy.
Human substitution concerns
Regarding the concerns raised by some about the possibility of replacing humans with robots, Nadella pointed out that during the first industrial revolution and the beginning of the entry of machines into factories, voices denouncing development arose from fear of replacing human labor, but the issue has different consequences because the wheel of production has developed and industry has flourished, but there have also been massive layoffs, "due to the fact that some people do are not adapted to the new skills required to deal with machines and work with them next to each other", as indicated by the Chief of Microsoft.
The Microsoft director also pointed out that "the new technical revolution we are currently experiencing will not force countries to replace humans as has happened in the past. For those who lose their jobs because of robots, countries will have to train them, increase their employment, increase their efficiency, and provide them with skills, because people will remain an important link in the circle.
Dealing with computers
Microsoft is one of the first investors in OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT system. In 2019, the giant company pumped out $1 billion in initial investments, and in return, it got the right to use the various products of the startup and include them in its various products. to provide Microsoft users with smart features and tools that increase their productivity.
Last year, Microsoft began adding the OpenAI-developed image-to-speech platform DALL-E 2 to its Microsoft Designer application on Windows 11, as well as the Image Creator service in its Bing search engine and its Microsoft Edge browser.
Microsoft has announced its intention to include OpenAI intelligent platforms in its various services for users and the enterprise sector, and this is in line with an earlier report by the website "The Information", which confirms the advent of the advantages the intelligent platform for creating Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and creating interactive PowerPoint presentations.
The software giant's CEO also announced that the company has opened the interface of its cloud platform, Azure OpenAI, to all developers, so that they can train their AI-based models on OpenAI smart models with various capabilities and purposes, to develop intelligent robots to interact with humans to serve them in different applications.
A golden opportunity to win the contest
The long-term partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI is a golden opportunity for the American giant to be able to take root in the depth of competition in the technical market, with its Azure cloud platform as the exclusive partner of the emerging company in terms of Training its AI-powered models, Microsoft's cloud services balance sheets will soar against whale company Amazon AWS, which accounted for 34% of the global cloud services market in the last quarter of the last year 2022.
At the same time, Microsoft will be able to kill Google with this partnership, especially since the shining star of OpenAI is the ChatGPT search service, which is based on the GPT-3.5 text production model, due to which Google lifted the state of emergency. in its sectors, and restructured and distributed its resources and executives to devote its efforts to developing a new competitor for itself as soon as possible.
The future of the ChatGPT platform
During the second week of January, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, pointed to a number of controversies over the future of ChatGPT, which had more than one million users within days of its launch last November.
Among the most significant of these contentious issues was the non-exclusivity of Microsoft's use of OpenAI smart models. Altman pointed out that his company could license its smart models to any other company, in addition to its ability to launch its own products into the market.
According to his statements during the StrictlyVC forum, Altman also explained that the company, after successfully developing an artificial intelligence model that converts text into drawings and images, which is DALL-E, as well as a model for smart GPT chat conversations, as well as a smart Codex programming support model, OpenAI researchers are currently developing a new model for creating videos from just typing a few text sentences, but they haven't no deadline has been set for the launch of this model.
There are rumors about the next generation of the GPT model, which will have the version number GPT-4, in the first quarter of this year 2023, but the head of OpenAI pointed out that it will not be launched until it is will not be fully confirmed that he is ready to work in a safe, responsible and efficient manner.
Altman pointed out that some users expect the next generation to provide the level of artificial general intelligence or AGI, which is the level of human intelligence that can perceive anything it is exposed to even if it is there. exposed for the first time, explaining that "these people are going to be very disappointed." This is because the company has not yet reached this level of artificial intelligence.
During an audio meeting last September, Altman raised a sticking point related to the future of AI models, referring to the versatile Muli-Modal, which is a model that relies on complex systems of artificial intelligence and has the preparation and the capacities to be able to produce a variety of contents between texts, images and videos at the same time, the whole subject to a command of script on behalf of the user.
The OpenAI director compared the general-purpose model to the smartphone operating system. In the future, Altman believes this model will be the primary interface for humans to interact with modern technology.
He also stressed that it will open a wide field for a wide range of companies to strive to create services and applications compatible with it and provide endless services to users, but he did not specify whether GPT -4 is the desired one. model or not.
