As the wave of initial interest crested, many began to ponder more practical concerns: How can we use this to make money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll look at the current rush to cash in on generative AI. We\u2019ll begin by looking at the current state of play for OpenAI, including the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI. We\u2019ll go on to consider the pair\u2019s main competitors. And we\u2019ll wrap up by looking at potential legal roadblocks moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-microsoft-and-openai\">Microsoft and OpenAI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT creator OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit organization\u2014its <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/introducing-openai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mission<\/a> was to \u201cadvance artificial intelligence in a way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This idealism turned out to be short-lived. In 2019, due to mounting computing and staff costs and difficulty attracting large investments, OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/03\/11\/openai-shifts-from-nonprofit-to-capped-profit-to-attract-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">refashioned itself into a \u201ccapped-profit\u201d company<\/a> in which investors continue to receive profits until they hit 100 times the initial investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/chatgpt-owner-openai-projects-1-billion-revenue-by-2024-sources-2022-12-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optimistic about its future earnings<\/a>, predicting $200 million in revenue this year (boosted by the imminent release of GPT4) and $1 billion in 2024\u00a0 For now, though, it\u2019s losing money\u2014vast quantities of it. In 2022, OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/01\/11\/structure-openai-investment-microsoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lost roughly $508 million<\/a>. A paid version of ChatGPT will be the first step in plugging the hole: Users can already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.in\/tech\/news\/you-can-now-join-the-waitlist-for-chatgpt-professional-a-paid-experimental-version-of-the-chatbot-that-is-faster-and-includes-double-the-searches\/articleshow\/96919430.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign up to test a \u201cprofessional\u201d tier<\/a> that\u2019s likely to cost <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/chatgpt-bing-microsoft-ai-openai-1850017756\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$42 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-openai-s-relationship-with-microsoft\">OpenAI\u2019s Relationship With Microsoft<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after becoming a for-profit company, OpenAI and Microsoft struck a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/microsoft-openai-investment-the-smartest-1-billion-ever-spent-2023-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$1 billion deal<\/a> that included a cash injection and crucial computing support. Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/01\/11\/structure-openai-investment-microsoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quietly contributed $2 billion more<\/a> over the following three years, and last month announced it would be investing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-01-23\/microsoft-makes-multibillion-dollar-investment-in-openai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a further $10 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft has already <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/01\/10\/microsoft-investment-10-billion-openai-chatgpt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">integrated OpenAI\u2019s technology<\/a> into both Copilot, a tool that suggests code for programmers, and app-developing software Microsoft Power Apps. It\u2019s making GPT and image generator DALL-E available as part of its Azure cloud offering, which may help it compete with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/18819\/worldwide-market-share-of-leading-cloud-infrastructure-service-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">main rival<\/a> Amazon. And it plans to roll out ChatGPT across the <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/ai\/how-chatgpt-in-microsoft-office-could-change-the-workplace-the-ai-beat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office 365<\/a> suite (including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint) and its languishing search engine <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/01\/11\/ai-arms-race-microsoft-chatgpt-potential-game-changer-wedbush-dan-ives-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-a-key-competitor\">Google: A Key Competitor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who is a key competitor for Microsoft and OpenAI? Shortly after the release of ChatGPT, Google reportedly issued a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/21\/technology\/ai-chatgpt-google-search.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">code red<\/a>\u201d alert about the damage that ChatGPT and similar tools could do to its business model. But is Google <em>really <\/em>worried about being left behind?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely. Google has been working on generative AI products for years\u2014in fact, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90839649\/google-not-openai-has-the-most-to-gain-from-generative-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">invented the transformer architecture<\/a> used in ChatGPT and already uses an AI-based system to interpret users\u2019 search queries. But the search giant has taken a cautious approach to releasing AI into the wild due to concerns about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/01\/27\/chatgpt-google-meta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reputational damage and liability<\/a>. They\u2019ve so far declined to release Sparrow, a bot that can <a href=\"https:\/\/in.mashable.com\/tech\/45824\/google-to-unveil-its-chatgpt-killer-ai-sparrow-soon-all-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provide sources for its answers<\/a> (addressing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/article\/chatgpt-game-changer-or-party-trick-shortform-explainers-shortform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a key criticism of ChatGPT<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There <em>is<\/em> an existential problem for Google, however: Even if the company can keep up, it\u2019ll lose the revenue it currently makes from ads. In 2021, ads brought in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/266249\/advertising-revenue-of-google\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over $209 billion<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1093781\/distribution-of-googles-revenues-by-segment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 80%<\/a> of its total revenue. Whatever happens, it looks like Google\u2019s in for a serious shakeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-moving-forward-potential-roadblocks\">Moving Forward: Potential Roadblocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The regulatory landscape for generative AI is mostly unmapped. The first lawsuits <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/01\/27\/the-current-legal-cases-against-generative-ai-are-just-the-beginning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have already been filed<\/a>, though, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/11\/23\/technology\/copilot-microsoft-ai-lawsuit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$9 billion class action suit<\/a> against GitHub, Microsoft, and OpenAI for carelessness with copyrighted code. Image generators Midjourney and Stability AI are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/1\/16\/23557098\/generative-ai-art-copyright-legal-lawsuit-stable-diffusion-midjourney-deviantart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in hot water<\/a> for their use of artists\u2019 work without consent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s some speculation that users\u2019 interactions with ChatGPT are being used as training data. Amazon has already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/amazon-chatgpt-openai-warns-employees-not-share-confidential-information-microsoft-2023-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told its employees not to share private company information<\/a> with ChatGPT after finding that some outputs were strikingly similar to internal documents. This could open the tool up to corporate espionage: Linguist Emily Bender points out that people might be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/amazon-chatgpt-openai-warns-employees-not-share-confidential-information-microsoft-2023-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">devise specific prompts<\/a> that get it to cough up confidential information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are Microsoft and OpenAI working together?
