On a recent 60 gram, host Leslie Stahl interviewed several Microsoft executives on their new Artificial Intelligent (AI) Bing web browser. Both executives announced their updated Bing and Edge web browsers the previous week using Open AI’s ChatGPT software. According to Stahl, over a million users have tried the new AI Chatbot program with much success! ChatGPT has been on the market for several months.
Besides Microsoft, Google is working on a new Chrome AI browser using Anthropics’ Language Model for Dialog Applications technology and Opera has announced their new AI browser using the Access AI-generated Content platform. Even though these are new programs in beta testing, many improvements will be included during the next several months much like the military experiences in new military hardware or software.
Since Microsoft is using the Open AI platform, they also have acquired a share of this dynamic company and will be using it in their Edge browser as well. What is interesting about these new AI browser programs is it can literally create a white paper on most any subject from the Internet much like what Wikipedia does in using content from expert writers in any category! Microsoft Bing’s program looks at all the different content on the Internet and summarizes it into a detailed white paper.
The educational organizations such as schools, colleges, and universities have a concern that many students will use this new AI platform to write their homework assignments or even a thesis without using their own research and creativity on any subject matter. Law enforcement may have some concerns too on creating scams and fraud using the new AI platform. However, all the web browsing companies have indicated they will prevent abusive use of the new AI web browsers. This is another great use of technology for the human race!
