OpenAI wants to transform ChatGPT into a highly intelligent personal assistant for work, according to a report by The Information. The effort, which is likely years away, would create a personal assistant capable of tasks like drafting emails or documents in a person's writing style with the latest business information. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has reportedly discussed incorporating autonomous AI agent capabilities into the assistant. - The company recently hired Peter Deng, formerly from Facebook, as VP of consumer product, which could be related to the assistant effort.
- However, issues remain, such as a need to gain permission to train an AI model on a user's personal data and protect against information leaks.
- To achieve personalized and quick responses, OpenAI's assistant software could also require partial storage on user devices. It could be tough to make the AI models small enough without compromising performance quality, according to The Information.
OpenAI's assistant features could clash with Microsoft, its primary partner and investor. - Microsoft, through its deal with OpenAI, has perpetual access to OpenAI's LLMs.
- The former is also exploring how to use the models to create a more personalized AI assistant.
