"How do you get the model to do the thing that you want it to do, and how you make sure it's aligned with human intention and ultimately in service of humanity?" The interview was published Sunday morning, a day before Google announced its new conversational AI platform, Bard, and two days before the Bing-ChatGPT integration was officially announced to the public. Tech firms have researched AI for years, but the sudden explosion of public platforms has catapulted the technology into public awareness and ramped up the financial stakes: Microsoft's market cap has risen almost $200 billion since it announced its OpenAI investment last month. OpenAI announced on Feb. 1, 2023, that a commercial version of its chatbot, called ChatGPT Plus, would soon be available to users in the United States. Microsoft announced its ChatGPT-Bing integration less than a week later.
