OpenAI, the creator of sensational chatbot ChatGPT, on Tuesday, announced that it is offering a monetary reward of up to $20,000 to its users who can spot and report the vulnerabilities present in its artificial intelligence systems.

The OpenAI Bug Bounty programme went live on Tuesday and announced that the monetary rewards will be handed over to people on the basis of the severity of the bugs reported by them. The rewards will start from $200 and will vary on the size of the bugs uncovered.

It will range from $200 for “low-severity findings” to $20,000 for “exceptional discoveries”.

The company said the programme is being rolled out because it believes “transparency and collaboration” are important for finding vulnerabilities present in its technology.

“This initiative is an essential part of our commitment to developing safe and advanced AI,” read the blog post by Matthew Knight, OpenAI’s head of security. “As we create technology and services that are secure, reliable and trustworthy, we would like your help,” he added.

Bug bounty programmes are often used by technology companies to encourage ethical hackers and programmers to report the bugs present in their software systems.

As per the details shared on the bug bounty platform Bugcrowd, researchers have been invited by OpenAI to review ChatGPT's certain functionality and the framework of the way in which the systems developed by OpenAI communicate and share data with third-party applications.

The programme does not include malicious or incorrect content produced by OpenAI systems.

The programme doesn't come as a surprise because recently president and co-founder of OpenAI, Greg Brockman, had tweeted that OpenAI had been “considering starting a bounty programme” or network of “red-teamers” to spot weak spots.

The comments were made by him in response to a post written by a 22-year-old jailbreak prompt enthusiast, Alex Albert. Albert's website includes written prompts which help to break the safeguards of chatbots like ChatGPT.

“Democratised red teaming is one reason we deploy these models,” wrote Brockman.

The announcement comes days after Italy banned ChatGPT alleging a breach of privacy rules by the platform and prompting regulators from different European countries to closely study generative AI services.

ChatGPT, developed by Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI, took the world by storm after it was launched in November and has left many users amazed with its quick responses to the questions asked and caused distress to some with its inaccuracies.

OpenAI offers up to $20,000 bounty for finding bugs in its chatbot ChatGPT

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is looking to open an office in Japan. This comes as the Japanese government has been increasing its efforts to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technology across various industries.

ChatGPT creator OpenAI CEO mulling to open office in Japan

A US law professor was flummoxed to find that the AI-powered bot ChatGPT has wrongly accused him of sexually harassing a female student based on a news article that was never actually written in the first place.

Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University shared his ordeal in a series of tweets and on his blog.

He said that the OpenAI’s chatbot cooked up a fake Washington Post article, which claimed&nbsp;that he sexually assaulted one of his students on a trip he "never took" while working at a school he "never taught at".&nbsp;

“I received a curious email from a fellow law professor about research that he ran on ChatGPT about sexual harassment by professors,” Turley wrote.

“The program promptly reported that I had been accused of sexual harassment in a 2018&nbsp;Washington Post&nbsp;article after groping law students on a trip to Alaska.”

“It was a surprise to me since I have never gone to Alaska with students, The Post&nbsp;never published such an article, and I have never been accused of sexual harassment or assault by anyone,” he said.

ChatGPT wrongly accuses US law professor of sexually assaulting student, conjures up fake news to back claim

According to the Italian data protection office Grante, ChatGPT manufacturer OpenAI intends to present solutions to allay data privacy concerns that led to a temporary prohibition in Italy.

OpenAI block ChatGPT after ban in Italy over privacy concerns

OpenAI is planning to suggest measures to Italian government authorities on Thursday to resolve their concerns which led to the banning of its ChatGPT chatbot in the country last week, stated Italy's data protection authorities.

ChatGPT was taken offline by Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI in Italy after it was temporarily restricted by Garante last week, which began an investigation into a suspected breach of privacy rules.

Garante, the Italian agency, accused Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI of not being able to check the age of people using ChatGPT and the "absence of any legal basis that justifies the massive collection and storage of personal data" to "train" the AI chatbot.

The ChatGPT maker said that it does not intend to pause the development of AI but also emphasised the importance of following and respecting the rules laid out by the authorities to protect the personal data of Italian and European citizens.

During a video conference late on Wednesday, OpenAI pledged that will incorporate more transparency in handling users' data and will verify the age of its users, said the authority. The conference was attended by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, among others.

The company stated that a document about measures to be taken, as per its requests, will be sent to Garante. The data authority stated that the proposals submitted by Open AI will be evaluated.

A blog post was published by OpenAI on Thursday, titled "Our approach to AI safety", which stated that it was working for the development of "nuanced policies against behaviour that represents a genuine risk to people".

"We don’t use data for selling our services, advertising, or building profiles of people. We use data to make our models more helpful for people. ChatGPT, for instance, improves by further training on the conversations people have with it. While some of our training data includes personal information that is available on the public internet, we want our models to learn about the world, not private individuals,” the company said.

OpenAI added that personal information has been removed from its datasets wherever possible, and models have been fine-tuned to reject user prompts when such information is being asked and to respond to every user's requests to remove their data from its systems.

The ban imposed by Italy has increased the interest of Europe's other privacy regulators who are studying the need to impose harsher measures to rein in chatbots and whether such actions should be co-ordinated.

AI chatbot company Replika was also banned by Garante in February from using Italian users' personal data, citing risks to emotionally fragile people and minors.&nbsp;

Won't stop developing AI, responds OpenAI to Italian ban on ChatGPT

Irked by false results, a mayor in Australia has warned OpenAI that he may sue the platform. Brian Hood, an elected mayor of Hepburn Shire - a town located 120 kilometres northwest of Melbourne is worried about his reputation as ChatGPT continues to falsely claim that he had served time in prison for bribery.

Irked by false results, a mayor in Australia has warned OpenAI that he may sue the platform. Brian Hood, an elected mayor of Hepburn Shire - a town located 120 kilometres northwest of Melbourne is worried about his reputation as ChatGPT continues to falsely claim that he had served time in prison for bribery. Hood was elected last November but soon ran into troubles after members of the public informed him that ChatGPT returned results which framed him as a guilty party in a foreign bribery scandal involving Reserve Bank of Australia's subsidiary in the early 2000s. Notably, Hood worked for the subsidiary named "Note Printing Australia" but he was the one who informed authorities about the bribes being paid to foreign officials. Hood was never charged with any crime, the lawyers representing him informed the media. His lawyers have written a letter of concern to OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT which is based in the US city of San Francisco and backed by tech behemoth Microsoft. "It would potentially be a landmark moment in the sense that it's applying this defamation law to a new area of artificial intelligence and publication in the IT space," said James Naughton, a partner at Hood's law firm. "It's very difficult for somebody to look behind that to say 'how does the algorithm come up with that answer?'" said Naughton. "It's very opaque." If Hood goes ahead with the suit, he will be the first person in the world to have sued the AI application. WATCH | Italy becomes first western country to temporarily ban ChatGPT × After a stellar reception amongst the public last year, OpenAI has come under the scanner. The Italian government last week banned the AI application over privacy concerns. Italian Data Protection watchdog ordered OpenAI to immediately stop processing data of Italian users. The regulator claimed that a security breach allowed users to view the titles of conversations other users were having with the chatbot. It also justified the ban by citing OpenAI's alleged failure to check the age of its users. It is essential to note that the AI application is supposed to be for individuals above the age of 13.

Australian mayor threatens to sue OpenAI over false ChatGPT content

A group of experts and industry executives including billionaire owner of Twitter and Tesla, Elon Musk have called for a six-month pause in developing AI systems more powerful than OpenAI's latest program GPT4 citing potential risk to society.

OpenAI faces criticism over GPT-4 launch

If the last half of last year belonged to Elon Musk for his tumultuous Twitter takeover, the ongoing first half of 2023 is being spotlighted upon OpenAI's ChatGPT for the way it has nearly mainstreamed the use of Artificial Intelligence at workplaces worldwide.&nbsp;

This weekend, a blast from the recent past has detonated the anticipatory capabilities of Silicon Valley with several 'what if' reactions.&nbsp;

A Semafor report has claimed that Elon Musk stood the chance to be one of the defining faces behind ChatGPT's Artificial Intelligence run. But before OpenAI's ChatGPT could launch its Artificial Intelligence drive into global technological pathways, Musk left OpenAI's board.&nbsp;

<h2>Elon Musk and ChatGPT: What was Twitter owner's role in OpenAI?</h2>

Elon Musk was reportedly a co-founder and board member of OpenAI. He left the OpenAI board in 2018. The official reason cited by Musk when he left the OpenAI board was to avoid a conflict of interest with Tesla.&nbsp;

"As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon," OpenAI had said in a blog post then.&nbsp;

However, Semafor report points to a failed takeover attempt as the reason behind Musk leaving OpenAI with Sam Altman at the helm of affairs.&nbsp;

<h2>Elon Musk and ChatGPT fallout: What happened?</h2>

According to people familiar with the matter cited by Semafor, Musk told fellow co-founder Sam Altman that he thought OpenAI was lagging behind Alphabet-owned Google in the AI race. Musk reportedly offered to takeover himself but Altman and other co-founders refused, following which Musk left the board, Semafor reported.

<h2>Elon Musk's outspoken criticism of ChatGPT</h2>

In 2019, Musk said he "didn't agree with some of what OpenAI team wanted to do." In 2020, he said that OpenAI "should be more open."

In December, days after ChatGPT was launched, he said, "OpenAI was started as open-source &amp; non-profit. Neither are still true."&nbsp;

On a Twitter thread posted by Altman, Musk commented, "ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerously strong AI."

Last month, Musk continued his criticisms of OpenAI.

"OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it "Open" AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all," he tweeted.

Elon Musk, who co-founded ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, left before the firm made fortunes

Here, we bring you the news that is trending across WION's social media platforms - The AI powered ChatGPT may have bowled over tech enthusiasts across the world with its human-like responses to complex solutions. The CEO of Open AI, the company that spawned this application has raised some serious concerns about its dangerous capabilities and how it might impact the livelihoods of millions of people.

'A bit scared': OpenAI CEO says ChatGPT may wipe out current jobs

Even though the&nbsp;AI-powered ChatGPT may have bowled over tech enthusiasts across the world with its human-like responses to complex solutions, the CEO of OpenAI, the company that spawned this application, has raised some serious concerns about its dangerous capabilities and how it might impact the livelihood of millions of people.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

During an interview with ABC News, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman&nbsp;admitted that they are “a little bit scared” of their creation, saying that it may wipe out a lot of current jobs.

“We’ve got to be careful here…I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this,” the 37-year-old tech entrepreneur said on Friday.

When asked to explain why he was “scared”, Altman replied that if he wasn’t “scared” then “you should either not trust me or be very unhappy that I’m in this job.”&nbsp;

“It is going to&nbsp;eliminate a lot of current jobs, that’s true. We can make much better ones. The reason to develop AI at all, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside, this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed,” he said.

Speaking about the impact&nbsp;of AI-powered chatbots on education, Altman said that it would “increase laziness among students”.

“Education is going to have to change. But it’s happened many other times with technology. When we got the calculator, the way we taught math and what we tested students on totally changed,” he added.

He remained adamant that ChatGPT would be a net boon for society.

“The promise of this technology, one of the ones that I’m most excited about is the ability to provide individual learning — great individual learning for each student.”

ChatGPT is an AI language model, backed by Microsoft.&nbsp;GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer.

Released in November, the AI-bot quickly emerged to be one of the fastest-growing consumer applications in history. The app hit 100 million monthly active users in just a few months. In comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach that many users and Instagram took nearly three years,&nbsp;according to a UBS study.

When asked to explain why he was “scared”, Altman replied that if he wasn’t “scared” then “you should either not trust me or be very unhappy that I’m in this job.” “It is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, that’s true. We can make much better ones. The reason to develop AI at all, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside, this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed,” he said.

But it’s happened many other times with technology. When we got the calculator, the way we taught math and what we tested students on totally changed,” he added. He remained adamant that ChatGPT would be a net boon for society. “The promise of this technology, one of the ones that I’m most excited about is the ability to provide individual learning — great individual learning for each student.” ChatGPT is an AI language model, backed by Microsoft. GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Released in November, the AI-bot quickly emerged to be one of the fastest-growing consumer applications in history. The app hit 100 million monthly active users in just a few months. In comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach that many users and Instagram took nearly three years, according to a UBS study.

‘A bit scared’: OpenAI CEO says ChatGPT may wipe out current jobs

GPT-4 is finally out! Its parent company OpenAI claims it will revolutionise the conversational AI industry. AI pundits are calling the tool a very good machine for generating text.

GPT-4 is finally out! Its parent company OpenAI claims it will revolutionise the conversational AI industry. AI pundits are calling the tool a very good machine for generating text. Simply put, GPT-4 can generate text after doing deep analysis to offer a better user experience. OpenAI claimed GPT-4 passed a simulated US bar exam “with a score around the top 10% of test takers.” Now that GPT-4 has been launched by OpenAI, netizens are wondering how does the new tool differ from ChatGPT? Also, which version is superior and why? And no one should discount the attached concerns and consequences AI bots are generally packed with! That’s why American billionaire Elon Musk has already sounded the warning bells over the modus operandi of OpenAI company. GPT-4 vs ChatGPT: What’s the difference? The Guardian in one of its articles explained the difference between GPT-4 and ChatGPT with this beautiful punch line: If ChatGPT is the car; GPT-4 is the powerful engine. As a result, if you give the GPT-4 a question from the US bar exam, it will write an essay demonstrating legal knowledge; if you give it a medicinal molecule and ask for variations, it will appear to apply biochemical expertise. All in all, GPT-4 is a text generator with impressive analytical skills and opinion-making capability. Here’s how GPT-4 is different from ChatGPT GPT-4 can process images. It’s way better than Google Lens as it will give you results after analysing results. This feature was not available in ChatGPT. GPT-4 is way smarter, and thus harder to trick. No matter how critical the circumstances are, it won’t cave into the pressure to say two plus two equals five. GPT-4 is designed to understand more languages better, unlike ChatGPT. GPT-4 is more accurate. GPT-4 can handle and process more information than its siblings. The GPT-3.5 model of ChatGPT was capable of handling 4,096 tokens, or roughly 8,000 words, but GPT-4 increases those capacities to 32,768 tokens or over 64,000 words. How to use GPT-4 now? Here’s bad news for curious internet users: OpenAI has erected a giant paywall around GPT-4. You will need to pay $20 per month to upgrade to ChatGPT+ and access GPT-4. You can upgrade your account's GPT model from GPT-3.5 default and legacy to GPT-4 on demand if you already have a paid subscription, providing you with the choice of using either model. This should enable you to fully comprehend the GPT-4 iteration's power. Why is Elon Musk angry with OpenAI? Elon Musk in a Tweet expressed his shock at how OpenAI was embracing the paywall model even after claiming to be a non-profit firm and calling itself “Open” at the same time. He also said he donated $100 million to OpenAI when it claimed itself to be a non-profit. He writes, “I’m still confused as to how a non-profit to which I donated $100M somehow became a $30B market cap for-profit. If this is legal, why doesn’t everyone do it?”

GPT-4 vs ChatGPT: What’s the difference, and how to use GPT-4 now? Why is Elon Musk angry with OpenAI?

OpenAI, the San Francisco-based tech company that took the world by storm with its ChatGPT, on Tuesday announced that it is releasing a new version of artificial intelligence software which can see.

The new software called 'GPT-4' “can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem-solving abilities,” as per an announcement made on OpenAI’s website.

In the video shared by the company online, it stated that GPT-4 is armed with various capabilities which were not present in the previous iteration of the technology, like the ability to “reason” based on images which have been uploaded by the users.

OpenAI stated that in the bar exam in which US law-school graduates appear before professional practice, the new version scored in the top 10 per cent of test takers, while the older version was ranked below 10 per cent.

In what can be considered reverse engineering, the creators of ChatGPT released a tool to identify writing that is done by artificial intelligence. ChatGPT is created by OpenAI and it is a free programme that helps in generating articles, essays, jokes, etc., when a user enters pieces of text, like a word, sentence.&nbsp;The chatbot became popular since its debut in November, but concerns were also raised about copyright and plagiarism. Not just ChatGPT, all tools faced criticism as experts warned over their ability to mimic humans. They said that such tools can be widely used at the school and universities level, helping students during exams.&nbsp;

In a blog post published on Wednesday, OpenAI said it has released a&nbsp;tool to identify text generated by AI. The company said that its AI writing catcher has been trained "to distinguish between text written by a human and text written by AIs from a variety of providers".&nbsp;

The tool has been made by a language model that is trained on the dataset of pairs of human-written and AI-written text on the same topic. The company said that the tool can be used to address issues related to automated misinformation campaigns and academic dishonesty.&nbsp;

However, the tech company also warned that the tool can be proved to be unreliable when the text is under 1,000 characters. It noted that the AI-written text can be edited to trick the classifier.&nbsp;

OpenAI said in the post, "While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, we believe good classifiers can inform mitigations for false claims that AI-generated text was written by a human."&nbsp;

The company said that they are "making this classifier publicly available to get feedback on whether imperfect tools like this one are useful". It further mentioned, "We recognise that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognizing the limits and impacts of AI-generated text classifiers in the classroom."&nbsp;

Gravitas | ChatGPT Explained: How does the platform work?

Microsoft Corp is in discussions to invest $10 billion in the company that owns ChatGPT, OpenAI, valuing the San Francisco-based firm at $29 billion, according to Reuters quoting a Semafor report.

The funding conditions stipulated that Microsoft would get 75 per cent of OpenAI's income up until the point at which OpenAI had earned back its initial investment from ChatGPT and other businesses like the image creation tool Dall-E, a Semafor report showed, according to Reuters.

Once OpenAI reached that milestone, Microsoft would own a 49 per cent share in the company, followed by 49 per cent from other investors and 2 per cent to OpenAI's nonprofit parent.

However, the exact stakes wouldn't be known until Microsoft received its money back, said the report.

The latest news comes after investment from other venture firms. In recent weeks, deal documents were circulated to potential investors to close the funding round by the end of 2022, said Reuters referring to the Semafor article.

Indeed, the latest Microsoft news comes after a Wall Street Journal story showed that OpenAI was discussing selling its current stock to venture capital firms, including Thrive Capital and Founders Fund, for an estimated $29 billion valuation.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc., and investor Sam Altman launched OpenAI, which released the ChatGPT chatbot for free public testing on November 30. Since then, the text-based artificial intelligence chatbot platform in November, ChatGPT, has been widely popular.

A chatbot is software created to replicate human-like dialogue in response to user input.

According to media reports, analysts are speculating whether AI chatbots will challenge Google's hegemony one day. Some Google employees reportedly wonder if they lost a chance given the company's long history of boasting about its AI competence.

Reuters reported that OpenAI did not immediately respond to the request for comment, while Microsoft declined to do so.

Once OpenAI reached that milestone, Microsoft would own a 49 per cent share in the company, followed by 49 per cent from other investors and 2 per cent to OpenAI's nonprofit parent.

The latest news comes after investment from other venture firms. In recent weeks, deal documents were circulated to potential investors to close the funding round by the end of 2022, said Reuters referring to the Semafor article. Indeed, the latest Microsoft news comes after a Wall Street Journal story showed that OpenAI was discussing selling its current stock to venture capital firms, including Thrive Capital and Founders Fund, for an estimated $29 billion valuation.

Microsoft set to invest $10 billion in Musk's OpenAI

Microsoft is planning to launch an AI-powered version of its search engine Bing, said a report. The tech giant is going to use ChatGPT, the OpenAI-launched chatbot, The Information reported on Tuesday.

Microsoft can reportedly launch the latest feature before the end of March.&nbsp;

Last year, Microsoft said that it was planning to integrate image-generation software from OpenAI, known as DALL-E 2, into Bing.

There was no immediate reaction&nbsp;from both, OpenAI and Microsoft.

The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company OpenAI was backed by Microsoft with $1 billion in funding in 2019. The two had formed a multi-year partnership to develop artificial intelligence supercomputing technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service.

Microsoft developing version of Bing powered by AI: Report

A non-profit, artificial intelligence (AI) research company, OpenAI which is also behind creating text-to-image generator, DALL-E and AI-powered ChatGPT chatbot has announced major changes in its 3D rendering which has led to Point-E. The machine learning system creates a 3D object based on a text prompt.&nbsp;

According to a paper, published by the company, Point-E uses just one single Nvidia V100 GPU to process images and complete generating them in minutes which would typically take hours and require multiple GPUs. While there are not actually 3D models as they do not capture the texture and detail of what is entered it does so by using Point Clouds, which are sets of data points in space that represent a 3D shape.&nbsp;

The upside of using Point Clouds is that they require significantly less computational power, since the name Point-E where the ‘E’ stands for “efficiency”. Therefore, while the accuracy is a key limitation of the AI-powered tool, the speed is note worthy.&nbsp;

However, in order to overcome this the team trained two AI models to convert the point clouds into 3D meshes. According to TechCrunch, these Meshes are, “the collections of vertices, edges and faces that define an object – are commonly used in 3D modelling and design.” This might lead to some bulky or distorted shapes, the paper noted.&nbsp;

The two AI model utilises a text-to-image and image-to-3D approach after which the first tool creates a rendered object that best fits the data entered. Subsequently, the image-to-3D model, which is already programmed with a set of images paired with 3D objects learns to effectively translate between the two, creating a Point Cloud based on them and converting it into a Mesh.

“While our method still falls short of the state-of-the-art in terms of sample quality, it is one to two orders of magnitude faster to sample from, offering a practical trade-off for some use cases,” said the paper. It added, “This could make it more practical for certain applications, or could allow for the discovery of the higher-quality 3D object.”&nbsp;

While OpenAI’s Point-E is the latest to opt for the growing trend of AI-generated 3D objects it certainly isn’t the only one. Earlier this year, Alphabet Inc’s <a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/google-working-on-ai-capable-of-reading-doctors-handwriting-on-prescriptions-544557">Google</a> released Dream Fusion, which was an expanded version of its predecessor Dream Fields released a year prior.&nbsp;

However, unlike Dream Fields, DreamFusion could generate 3D representations of objects without 3D data. Reports suggest that the efficiency of Point-E beats Dream Fusions which requires a lot of time as well as GPUs to produce the images.&nbsp;

Open AI’s Point-E turns text prompts into 3D models: Here's what you need to know

Amazon will soon roll out a feature that will give its users the liberty to customise&nbsp;Alexa,&nbsp;the company’s voice assistant, to mimic the voice of their families and friends who are no longer alive—a move that has been slammed by the netizens.

During a press conference held on Wednesday (June 22) in Las Vegas, senior vice president Rohit Prasad said, “The goal is to make the memories last&nbsp;after so many of us have lost someone we love&nbsp;during the pandemic.”

At the conference, the company presented its plans for companionship with Alexa. However, the company has not revealed when such a feature will release, reports&nbsp;Reuters.

A video clip was shown in which a young child said, “Alexa, can grandma finish reading me the Wizard of Oz?” After a pause, Alexa confirmed the order and raise her voice a few seconds afterwards. She talked in a more calming, less robotic voice, pretending to sound like the child’s actual grandmother.&nbsp;

According to Prasad, the firm wants Alexa to have the capacity to adjust to its users’ situations without much outside assistance.&nbsp;

He added, “Not to be confused with the all-knowing, all-capable, uber artificial general intelligence,” or what is pursued by Elon Musk’s cofounded OpenAI or Alphabet’s DeepMind unit.

However, many users took to Twitter to express displeasure over the new feature, saying that&nbsp;it can be used for scams or to create false narratives about people through deepfakes.

Amazon’s Alexa may soon mimic anyone’s voice to ‘make memories last’

Microsoft Corp said on Monday it was investing $1 billion in San Francisco-based OpenAI and that the two had formed a multi-year partnership to develop artificial intelligence supercomputing technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service.

OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit with $1 billion in funding from Silicon Valley investors Sam Altman, Peter Thiel and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, among others. Earlier this year, the group created a related for-profit entity to take in outside investment.

Since its founding, OpenAI has employed artificial intelligence researchers to make advances in the field, such as teaching a robotic hand to perform human-like tasks entirely in software, cutting down the cost and time to train robots.

The group has also focused on the safety and social implications of AI, researching how computers can generate realistic news stories with little more than headline suggestions and warning researchers to consider how their work and algorithms might be misused by bad actors before publishing them.

OpenAI said the Microsoft investment would help it pursue "artificial general intelligence," or AGI. An AGI is the holy grail of the field and would mean the computing system can master a subject as well or better than the best humans in the world - and master more fields than any single human.

"We believe it's crucial that AGI is deployed safely and securely and that its economic benefits are widely distributed," Altman said in a statement. "We are excited about how deeply Microsoft shares this vision."

Microsoft said the two companies would jointly build new AI technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service. The two also said that OpenAI would move many, though not all, of its services to Azure and that Microsoft would be its "preferred" partner to commercialize new services.

The two parties declined to answer questions from Reuters about the terms of the deal. Earlier this year, OpenAI created a for-profit limited partnership to take outside investment. The for-profit entity is ultimately controlled by the nonprofit's board.

When OpenAI created the structure in March, it said investors who put money into the for-profit entity would have their returns capped and that the nonprofit's mission would take precedence over turning a profit.

Microsoft and OpenAI declined to answer questions about whether and how Microsoft's return on its $1 billion investment would be capped, or how any revenue and profits from jointly developed technologies would be shared.

The two firms also declined to say whether Microsoft's investment would be made in cash, or whether it would involve credits for the Azure cloud computing service.

Cloud computing services are a major cost for OpenAI, which spent $7.9 million on cloud computing in the 2017 tax year, or about a quarter of its total functional expenses for that year, according to filings with the US&nbsp;Internal Revenue Service.
