Microsoft adds OpenAI's GPT-4 to the Office 365 suite

OpenAI has launched a few days ago GPT-4, the heir of the “first” generation chatbot that we have all learned to use. We have seen what are the improvements compared to before, what it is capable of and how to use it. However, it must be remembered that Microsoft has priority over all, since OpenAI was acquired by the giant. And for this introduced, or rather integrated, GPT-4 to Office 365. The AI ​​therefore arrives on the package that includes Word, Excel e Power point.

OpenAI publicly revealed its GPT-4 software earlier this week, and Microsoft promptly "added" it to Office 365

Microsoft is bringing generative AI technologies like the popular chat app ChatGPT to its Microsoft 365 enterprise software suite. The enterprise tech giant said that the new AI, dubbed Copilot, will be available in some of the most popular apps like Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Copilot technology is built on a foundation of artificial intelligence software Large Language Model (LLM), which has undergone significant progress in recent years. These advances have led to LLMs becoming increasingly adept at understanding and generating responses to textual information.

The emergence of AI technologies has captured the attention of the technology industry. Large Language Models (LLMs), for example, can perform various tasks such as the generation of images from written messages (see Midjourney) and engaging in extended conversations via chat interfaces.

The CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella said in a statement:

Today marks the next big step in the evolution of how we interact with information technology, which will fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth. With our new Copilot for work, we give people more leeway and make technology more accessible through the most universal interface: natural language

While Microsoft's announcement includes OpenAI's popular ChatGPT technology, the company stresses that Copilot is much more powerful than a simple integration. For example, the feature in Word generates a first draft that people can edit and iterate on, saving countless hours in the writing, sourcing, and editing process.

Microsoft hasn't revealed a specific launch date or pricing details for its new AI Copilot features. However, the company said it plans to roll out Copilot and GPT-4 across its Office suite. This includes apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Viva, Power Platform and more, in the coming months. Microsoft is currently testing Copilot with a small group of customers to get feedback and improve the software as it scales. While the names of these customers have not been disclosed, a Microsoft spokesperson revealed that 20 customers, including eight from the Fortune 500, are testing the technology. According to Jaime Teevann, chief scientist and technical colleague at Microsoft, Copilot has been subjected to strict privacy controls and has mitigations in place if the software is misused or exhibits bias.

Past and future of generative AI

Generative AI has attracted significant attention, largely due to the impressive performance of the ChatGPT tool, which was introduced by OpenAI in November 2021. In January 2022, Microsoft announced its multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI, although the exact sum has not been revealed. In February, Microsoft launched a new version of its Bing search engine that integrated a chatbot powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 language technology.

OpenAI recently unveiled its GPT-4 software, touting it as a significant advance over its predecessor, GPT-3. GPT-4 is capable of producing more precise and creative text responses, solidifying OpenAI's position as a leading provider of generative AI technology.
