OpenAI, a company valued at $150 billion, is preparing to cement its leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) with new products, including the integration of ChatGPT with Apple devices, the creation of AI agents to automate tasks and the development of its own search engine. Such steps, according to forecasts, will allow to reach 1 billion users already next year, strengthening the company's position in the global market.
Through a partnership with Apple, OpenAI integrates ChatGPT into an ecosystem spanning billions of devices, including iPhones, used by more than 2 billion people worldwide. This partnership will allow not only to expand the user base, but also to implement the concept of personal AI agents capable of automating online tasks: from booking services to purchasing goods. The company's financial director, Sarah Fryar, noted that the new products will be an important stage in achieving the strategic goal of global availability of AI.
To support massive growth, OpenAI plans to build its own data centers in the US, echoing the strategy of tech giants such as Google and Amazon. This decision, according to the vice president of the company, Chris Lehane, is aimed at ensuring access to key resources: high-performance chips, large volumes of data and sufficient energy capacities.
Despite significant successes, the company has undergone transformations in its structure, including an increase in staff to 2000 employees and a transition from a non-profit to a for-profit model. At the same time, OpenAI faces competition from xAI, Elon Musk's company, which has criticized OpenAI for partnering with Microsoft. The confrontation between the two former allies could significantly affect US AI regulatory policy.
In the future, OpenAI will focus on two areas: long-term research in the field of general artificial intelligence and the creation of profitable products that will ensure financial stability. The company's new projects, including AI agents and a search engine, could change the way artificial intelligence is used in everyday life, enabling the global impact of the "Age of Intelligence" that CEO Sam Altman envisions.
