In a recent interview, Bill Gates discussed the powerful capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Gates drew attention to the difficulties of AI in accurately reading and writing, yet revealed how ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, managed to pass a tricky Advanced Placement (AP) Biology exam with flying colors.
This significant achievement was the result of a challenge Gates gave to OpenAI last summer to develop a chatbot capable of understanding and responding to complex questions. While Gates was impressed with ChatGPT’s performance, he acknowledged that the AI was unable to answer abstract questions that require analytical reasoning.
This discovery by Gates exemplifies the potential of AI in both everyday conversation and complex problem-solving, although it sparked complex conversations surrounding AI development. Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk is notably involved in the field, having co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and having been vocal about the potential dangers of quickly advancing AI technology.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a leader in computer technology, offering powerful software and hardware solutions. Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft in 1975 and served as the company’s CEO until 2000. He currently serves as Microsoft’s Technology Advisor and is an angel investor and philanthropist.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is a world leader in sustainable energy, creating revolutionary electric vehicles and batteries. Since 2014, Elon Musk has served as the company’s CEO, taking the company public in 2010 and making it one of the most valuable publicly traded American tech companies. Musk first discovered fame as a co-founder of PayPal, then SpaceX and has since focused his efforts on making electric vehicles more affordable and accessible.
