Microsoft is likely to bring the ChatGPT technology to other tools such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook as early as next month. The company recently unveiled a new version of Bing, which attempts to redefine the way online search works.
Microsoft recently announced the all-new Bing, that will redefine online search and will be powered by technology similar to that of ChatGPT. The company said that the new Bing will run on a new OpenAI large language model that is “more powerful than ChatGPT and customised specifically for search.” Microsoft is competing with Google directly with the launch of Bing and people are eager to use the new AI-powered search engine. However, Microsoft’s experiments with AI won’t be stopping here.
The company is reportedly all set to incorporate AI into its other tools like Word, Powerpoint and Outlook. Reports of Microsoft planning to roll out AI-powered versions of these tools have been around for quite some time. However, the latest scoop is that the same might happen as early as next month.
Microsoft to launch AI-powered Word, PowerPoint and Outlook
As per a report in The Verge, Microsoft is preparing to show the world how its Office apps will be transformed by ChatGPT-like technology. Sources told The Verge that the company is preparing to showcase these plans in the next couple of weeks and will most likely announce the same in March.
Earlier, The Information had reported that GPT models were being tested for suggesting e-mail replies in Outlook, and to improve users’ writing in Word. However, nothing has been officially announced as of now.
Microsoft’s all new Bing
Microsoft launched a new version of Bing last week that can be accessed by some users as of now. In order to get the access, users need to join the waiting list by visiting Bing’s homepage. The new Bing promises an array of benefits for the users and aims to change the way we look things up on the internet.
“The new Bing gives you an improved version of the familiar search experience, providing more relevant results for simple things like sports scores, stock prices and weather, along with a new sidebar that shows more comprehensive answers if you want them,” the company said.
Talking about their partner, OpenAI (ChatGPT’s parent firm), Microsoft said, “Together with OpenAI, we’ve also been intentional in implementing safeguards to defend against harmful content. Our teams are working to address issues such as misinformation and disinformation, content blocking, data safety and preventing the promotion of harmful or discriminatory content in line with our AI principles.”
Microsoft and OpenAI had recently announced strengthening their partnership and entered into a multi-billion dollar deal. OpenAI is the parent company of viral chatbot ChatGPT and has Sam Altman as its CEO.
