BING CHAT: OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Microsoft is making Bing Chat available to the general public to capitalize on its recent success.

Since its launch, over 500 million conversations have taken place on Bing Chat. Its Dall-E feature generated over 200 million images in a few weeks.

The internet loves Sydney/Bing Chat.

But things are about to get a whole lot better. New updates are hitting Bing that puts it on the level with ChatGPT’s most extensive features.

Do you want plugins? Bing is getting them. Do you want multimodal support? They’ve got you covered. How about a chat history so you can go back to old conversations? Bingo, Microsoft is adding that request, too.

If you’re like us, you’re still waiting to get access to the plugin feature on ChatGPT. Perhaps, Bing can split the difference and give more people that ability faster.

Not going to lie; if they do, I might switch to Edge. I’d do it for my boy, Bing.

Some reports frame this as a battle between OpenAI and Microsoft, but I don’t buy that. The two are working closer than ever, and this news follows OpenAI’s trail.

If anything, this move shows how much information they share.

The most significant announcement is multimodal support, and launching it soon would help Bing differentiate itself from ChatGPT. But we don’t know when to expect these updates.

It’s more likely that the two of them will move in tandem.

WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED AT THE WHITE HOUSE MEETING?

AI executives from some of the biggest companies in the space met with Vice President Kamala Harris yesterday.

The group discussed AI risks and how to work together for a safer future.

Oh, to be a fly on that wall. Imagine the tension between Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google) and Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) simmering beneath that drag-out, bureaucratic hangout.

There are no reports that they dislike each other, but it feels like that should be the case.

Anyway, the visit was a signal to the United States’s global partners; they will do something about Artificial Intelligence and its rapid advancements. The time for trust in big tech is at an end.

China and the European Union are making moves left and right while the United States bickered in Congress over AI ads. Something needed to be done.

The first big moment came before the meeting when The White House announced more funding and guidelines for AI research. A nice $140m bag was dropped to launch several new National AI Research (NAIR) Institutes.

It’s a solid first step to regain control.

We won’t see the ramifications of the more extensive conversation until further down the road, but the signal it gives the rest of the world matters.

AI startups need accountability. Companies within the United States must work with the government to ensure the benefits outweigh the risks. 

Otherwise, another governing body will make that decision, and you know America does not want that.
