The ChatGPT revolution? Microsoft seems to have very big plans for this AI chatbot

“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” a department spokesperson said. News of Microsoft’s potential investment follows a report by The Information last week that Microsoft could integrate ChatGPT with Bing to enhance its search engine. The Information reported this week that Microsoft could incorporate ChatGPT into its Office apps to expand its existing AI effects like autocomplete and suggestions in Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.

“Helping educators really grapple with how this technology is going to have to shift teaching, learning, writing, knowledge creation, and the concept of originality – that is really hard. Norms are going to have to shift,” Wang said. OpenAI started as a non-profit but in March 2019 created OpenAI LP as a “capped profit” — a hybrid for-profit and nonprofit — in order to attract employees and investors and offer them capped returns if it reaches its goals. OpenAI said at the time it would need to invest billions of dollars in coming years in large-scale cloud computing and AI supercomputers. Then, in July 2019, Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in exchange for the startup pursuing Artificial General Intelligence on Microsoft’s Azure AI supercomputing technologies. There is, however, another way AI education could go — and it may end up far more widespread, even if it makes some people uneasy.
