Microsoft just announced its first second third long-term partnership with OpenAI (founder of ChatGPT).

The partnership is designed to extend their ongoing collaboration across AI supercomputing and research.

The goal is to independently commercialize:

  • Supercomputing at scale - "Microsoft will increase our investments in the development and deployment of specialized supercomputing systems to accelerate OpenAI’s groundbreaking independent AI research." 

  • New AI-powered experiences - "Microsoft will deploy OpenAI’s models across our consumer and enterprise products and introduce new categories of digital experiences built on OpenAI’s technology."

  • Exclusive cloud provider - "As OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider, Azure will power all OpenAI workloads across research, products and API services."

Your move Google.

ChatGPT passes MBA Exam

Being outperformed by classmates is nothing new for most students, especially at crème de la crème schools like Wharton.

However, being outperformed by an AI chatbot has to hurt a little more.

Recently, ChatGPT passed an MBA exam and "outperformed some humans" on the exam.

Christian Terwiesch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton decided to put the AI chatbot to the test.

ChatGPT was given the exam for an operations management course.

In Terwiesch's white paper "Would ChatGPT3 Get a Wharton MBA?" it was concluded that: "Chat GPT3 would have received a B to B- grade on the exam."

That's not too shabby for never showing up to class.

Robo Lawyer?

We've all heard of RoboCop.

But have you heard of RoboLawyer?

That just doesn't have the same ring to it.

An AI-powered robot will be helping a defendant fight a traffic ticket next month in court.

The AI creation will run on a smartphone, listen to court arguments and formulate responses for the defendant.

Joshua Browder, CEO of DoNotPay, also said the AI lawyer will tell the defendant what to say in real-time, through headphones.

Let's hope the defendant doesn't forget to charge his Airpods. 

Browder announced the AI lawyer's first case is scheduled for February 22nd.

This is gonna be interesting.

That's it for today. We'll see ya back here tomorrow!
