Our take
OpenAI aims to research and deploy AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that is safe, controllable and beneficial to all of humanity. The company began its mission by developing an API that can solve language-based tasks, such as answering written questions or pulling up relevant documents based on a query.
Following the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, which gained more than 1 million users in its first 5 days and is already worth billions, OpenAI announced a paid version named ChatGPT Plus which will be launched in the US first.
It is worth noting that OpenAI is not without controversy. Its products have sparked conversations regarding the morals and implications of AI tools, and recent investigations have uncovered misalignments between the company's public commitments and its alleged operations behind closed doors.
Whilst AI applications can be found in a vast variety of tech startups, this generally consists of the automation of algorithmic tasks such as data analysis and organization. OpenAI’s approach to designing true human-like artificial intelligence is futuristic, but with support from its high-profile partners (such as Microsoft), an annualised revenue reported at $ 2 billion in 2023, and the clear success of its products have the company well set to continue bringing advanced AI to the public.
