Microsoft has taken the lead in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ChatGPT, overtaking Google who have been careful in adopting AI technologies. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI language models into Bing search engine and Edge browser, allowing the Redmond-based giant to take the lead. Google's response was the introduction of chatbot, Bard, based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It has triggered suspections that Google had been overly cautious in getting their tech ready, while their rival Microsoft had pushed on. Details have emerged on Google's efforts to prevent harm from AI, with reports of employees reviewing the company's AI products and reducing the potential risks for launch. Microsoft, however, has been mum about ethical and security issues, keeping a minimum size executive team and canning employees who raised a concern. The goal for Microsoft is to lead the AI competition - something which is clear from an email seen by The New York Times, delivered by the giants technology executive, Sam Schillace.
