Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed our world. From being something futuristic and distant, AI has now become an integrated part of our everyday lives and is impacting a wide range of industries and societal sectors. AI can be used in everything from medical diagnostics to marketing and entertainment.
One of the most popular AI applications is ChatGPT, with over 100 million users just two months after its launch. The app is used to generate natural language, including dialogues and answers to questions, and has been used by companies like Facebook and Google to improve their chatbots and customer service.
Microsoft launched Azure OpenAI Service in 2021, which is a groundbreaking solution for AI-driven business applications and is now available to the public. The service provides access to some of the world's most powerful AI models, including Codex and DALL-E 2, as well as a fine-tuned version of GPT-3.5 that will soon be available. Azure OpenAI Service has the potential to improve content production in several ways, including summarisation and translation, topic selection, AI tagging, and content extraction.
Microsoft's owned GitHub also launched an AI programmer named 'Copilot' in June 2021 that can help developers write and improve their code. Copilot has continued to evolve and improve since its launch.
By making Azure OpenAI Service widely accessible, Microsoft and OpenAI enable more businesses to use tools that can improve their operations. ChatGPT will also be added to the service and help customers apply the world's most advanced AI models to their own business needs.
It is both exciting and challenging to see how AI development continues to accelerate and how we as a society must adapt to the new opportunities and challenges that technology brings. Given the rapid development in the AI field, it is important that we as a society actively discuss and address these issues to ensure that technology is used in a responsible and ethical manner. At the same time, we look forward to seeing how AI technology continues to evolve and what opportunities it creates.
