Why did Microsoft invest $10bn in ChatGPT?

Everyone is talking about Chat GPT. We did an episode about this revolutionary new step in Artificial Intelligence when it launched last year.

What does GPT stand for? Generative Pretrained Transformer. And transforming is certainly what it is doing.

The numbers don't lie - it crossed 1 million users within a week - when it took Instagram 2.5 months, Facebook 10 months, and Twitter nearly 24 months to reach those same user numbers.

On 23rd January, Microsoft finally confirmed a new multi-year investment in Open AI, the company behind this revolutionary program - signalling that this wasn’t just a phase or a fad, but something that big tech sees as the next development for the future. Today Sascha and Darcy discuss - why has Microsoft invested in ChatGPT and what can we expect from AI in the future?
