main context
OpenAI’s ChatGPT is just one of many AI-powered chatbots in a market full of competing software from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. Microsoft’s Bing AI was available in the App Store before ChatGPT launched on iOS, with an older version arriving in October 2022. The race for chatbots sparked public interest and concern from lawmakers, who recently hosted a hearing on AI that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attended. During a nearly three-hour discussion about potential AI risks and regulatory paths, Altman proposed creating a new federal agency with the power to issue and revoke licenses for AI.
Amazing fact
According to a February study by UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest growing consumer application. “In 20 years of monitoring the Internet space, we don’t recall a faster growth of a consumer Internet application,” a UBS analyst noted in the study.
A large number
