OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is offering lower prices to attract developers. They can now customize AI ‘agents’ for tasks like laundry tips or contract negotiations easily.
The company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, is making efforts to attract developers by reducing prices and making it easier to customize artificial intelligence (AI) “agents.” These agents can assist with various tasks, from providing laundry advice to helping with contract negotiations.
The tech world has been buzzing about the potential benefits and risks of generative AI since ChatGPT’s successful debut a year ago. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, expressed optimism about the future of AI, envisioning increased capabilities and the integration of intelligence everywhere. He believes that as AI becomes more widespread, individuals will have “superpowers on demand.”
OpenAI’s platform has attracted over 2 million developers, with more than 100 million people using ChatGPT weekly, according to the San Francisco-based startup. Altman highlighted the successful launch of ChatGPT a year ago, sparking an AI competition with major players like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta.
Altman has been actively involved in discussions about AI, testifying before the US Congress and engaging with heads of state. There is growing pressure to regulate AI due to concerns about its potential use in bioweapons, misinformation, and other threats. President Joe Biden recently issued an executive order focusing on regulating artificial intelligence to address these risks, aiming for the US to lead global efforts.
