Microsoft’s productivity programmes already make use of a range of AI. Word and PowerPoint utilise AI algorithms to offer picture and slide deck descriptions, Microsoft Teams uses AI to enhance echo, interruptions, and acoustics, and Microsoft launched an AI-powered code completion using GPT-3 two years ago. Microsoft Editor also improves your work by employing artificial intelligence to do spellchecking, grammar-checking, and text predictions.
After spending $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019, Microsoft obtained an exclusive licence to the underlying technology of GPT-3 in 2020. It has maintained a close partnership with OpenAI since then, with plans to integrate an AI text-to-image model powered by OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 to Bing.
