Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has gained widespread popularity. It started as a tool for boosting productivity in various tasks like writing essays and code, and now it’s used by more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies.
This growth has propelled OpenAI to become one of the most prominent companies currently. Its recent collaboration with Apple in developing Apple Intelligence has further solidified its position in the competitive AI landscape.
In 2024, OpenAI introduced GPT-4o, its new flagship omni model for ChatGPT, which includes voice and vision capabilities. However, there have been controversies such as the pause of the “Sky” voice due to allegations of voice imitation.
Internally, OpenAI is facing challenges such as the departure of its co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, along with team restructuring and legal issues like copyright infringement lawsuits from newspapers.
