‘All is not well’ between Microsoft and ChatGPT maker OpenAI: Report

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT, Microsoft was the first technology giant to grab the opportunity to lead the artificial intelligence (AI) space. The Windows maker infused billions into the then startup, and they are simultaneously supporting and competing with one another. Now, a report has claimed that their partnership has led to some conflict behind the scenes.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, there have been tensions between the two companies. Some Microsoft executives were reportedly surprised with the launch of ChatGPT AI chatbot. The report also notes that OpenAI gave Microsoft a few weeks’ heads up that it would start publicly testing ChatGPT at a time when the software giant was beginning to integrate OpenAI’s models into Bing.

“Some Microsoft executives had misgivings about the timing of ChatGPT’s launch last fall,” the report cited people familiar with the matter, as saying.
