It seems like every day new news about artificial intelligence hits the news. Which stories should grab our attention, and which are just clickbait?
In a new episode of eCornell's Cornell Keynotes podcast, Karan Girotra, Charles H. Dyson Family Professor of Management and professor of Operations, Technology and Innovation at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business and Cornell Tech, discusses AI's current capabilities and shares the most newsworthy updates on the technology.
Some business leaders believe that artificial intelligence will replace human workers in the not-too-distant future. Only time will tell. In the meantime, advances in AI are helping professionals streamline their daily workflows in groundbreaking ways.
“Technically, I think OpenAI is ahead and Google is catching up. Or I would say pretty close. Probably a few months behind. But Google has one big advantage, which Microsoft also has: Google has distribution power. That means you have to go to OpenAI's product and download ChatGPT. If they publish the app soon, which they claim they do.”
We hear about OpenAI because tech-savvy people and people interested in this space follow the news. They don't have to follow the news to get Google products or Microsoft products to people. Google can integrate all of these technologies into the workflows that Google products already support, which is a huge advantage.”
