Microsoft announced that it will invest $1 billion (1,179 billion won) in joint ventures with OpenAI, a non-profit organization that is conducting AI-related research, to build a new supercomputing technology.
Open AI is a non-profit organization established in 2015 that conducts artificial intelligence related research. It was also invested by Elon Musk, Reed Hoffman, and Sam Altman. According to OpenAI, since 2012, AI has been developing various fields such as visual, simple video games, machine translation, complex board games, speech synthesis, image generation, robot control, and writing by combining computational power and neural networks.
However, when building an AI system, they say that manual engineering work is required for each task. Expected to solve this problem is the artificial general intelligence (AGI), which can be mastered at the level of experts in various fields rather than one human. OpenAI aims to realize AGI by developing a hardware and software platform that supports AGI in Microsoft Azure.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said, “AGI development is the most important technology development in human history and has the power to shape the trajectory of humanity.” “Open AI’s mission is to ensure that AGI technology can bring benefits to the entire human race.” Said. In addition, he emphasized that it is important to establish a supercomputing foundation for building AGI with Microsoft, and that it is important that AGI operates safely and reliably, so that the economic benefits are widely distributed, and that he is pleased to share the vision with Microsoft.
Microsoft CEO Satia Nadella also stressed that AI is one of the most innovative technologies in modern times and has the potential to help solve the world’s most pressing challenges. By combining the technology, the company said that it will always put the safety of AI at the center and benefit everyone. Related information can be found here .
