Since 2019, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) has been developing a groundbreaking artificial intelligence chip known as “Athena” to power the technology behind AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT. OpenAI is the early backer of ChatGPT, and a group of Microsoft and OpenAI representative are currently testing the technology.
The lucrative AI chips created by Microsoft are aimed to enable data processing, pattern recognition and creating fresh outputs as a result of closely simulating human conversations. Subsequently, the chip can improve the training of large-language models for AI and power up the AI-inference process. Moreover, the chip can provide a more powerful value for the company than what other vendors can offer, saving a lot of time and money for Microsoft’s AI projects.
The competition between the tech giants, such as Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is becoming increasingly fierce. In 2023, Microsoft jumped into the competition with its AI-powered search engine Bing AI, leveraging on its partnership with OpenAI.
Microsoft is one of the oldest and largest technology conglomerates in the world. It became an iconic American corporate brand due to its successful software development and delivery throughout the decades. It has a global presence in the market of communication, mobile, gaming and entertainment, and productivity.
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, is often credited as a pioneer in shaping the software industry.
