WASHINGTON: Chasing Microsoft, global tech titans have announced how they will implement ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence into their world-leading platforms and applications, with YouTube the latest to present plans.

Here is a roundup of how the world’s biggest tech companies plan to surf the AI wave:

Microsoft has gone the furthest in pushing out generative AI to consumers and has pledged to pump billions of dollars into OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

The Windows maker is hostilely testing the latest version of OpenAI’s GPT-3 technology in a beefed-up Bing search engine, with plans to add the tool to the easily accessible Windows 11 taskbar.

Microsoft is also planning to add GPT-3 to its Office suite, including Word and the Edge browser. The rollouts guarantee maximum exposure to the technology despite controversies about AI’s readiness for the general public.

Media reports of the chat technology going haywire surfaced soon after the Bing addition was introduced.

The Redmond, Washington-based company subsequently tweaked the program but has largely stayed on course.
