Mira Murati, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at OpenAI, the company behind Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT has expressed her concerns about the viral chatbot. In an interview with Time magazine, Murati said that AI can be misused and "used by bad actors."

''[AI] can be misused, or it can be used by bad actors. So, then there are questions about how you govern the use of this technology globally. How do you govern the use of AI in a way that's aligned with human values?'' Murati was quoted as saying in Time magazine.

According to her, the company will need all the help that it can receive from different sources.

"It’s important for OpenAI and companies like ours to bring this into the public consciousness in a way that’s controlled and responsible. But we’re a small group of people and we need a ton more input in this system and a lot more input that goes beyond the technologies-—definitely regulators and governments and everyone else," Murati added in the interview.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has just launched a new version of its Bing search engine and Edge browser, soon after Google unveiled its ChatGPT rival, Bard, to select testers.

Microsoft's new AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser aim to deliver better search, more complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to generate content, the company said in a blog post. Bing will be powered by a next-generation OpenAI model. “The next-generation OpenAI large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT and customized specifically for search. It takes key learnings and advancements from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5 – and it is even faster, more accurate, and more capable,” the company said.

“Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

In a bid to take on ChatGPT, China's search engine major Baidu is also mulling to launch an AI chatbot service similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT in two months.

With this, Baidu has become the next company to join the global race to commercialise the next generation of AI technologies like ChatGPT.
