An automaker executive told Reuters that automaker General Motors is exploring uses for a popular chatbot (ChatGPT) as part of a broader partnership with Microsoft.
"It's going to be (ChatGBT) everything," GM Vice President Scott Miller said in an interview last week.
Miller added that chatbots could be used to retrieve information about how to use vehicle features, which are usually found in the owner's manual, as well as programming features such as door codes from the garage or merging schedules into calendars.
A (General Motors) spokesperson said on Friday: “This change is not only about one capability being superior to another: the development of voice commands. It means customers can expect their future cars to be more capable overall and more modern, but also when it comes to technologies.” new.
Semafor was the first to report this, saying that the US automaker is developing a virtual personal assistant using the model on which the artificial intelligence (GBT Chat) model is based.
Earlier this year, US tech giant Microsoft announced a multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment in GPT chatbot developer OpenAI and said it plans to add chatbot technology to all of its products. This is where it all really began as technology was added to the Bing search engine, Edge web browser, Teams video conferencing service, Windows 11, and more.
Microsoft in particular, like other large technology companies, is seeking to bring more technology to vehicles, including infotainment systems, self-driving capabilities, an operating system that can control battery performance, and many other vehicle functions.
In 2021, General Motors is partnering with Microsoft to accelerate commercialization of self-driving cars.
