Microsoft will launch ChatGPT 4 with AI videos this week

In recent months, ChatGPT has become ubiquitous and Microsoft is preparing to update the AI tool with a new version that could bring it back into the spotlight. The company is planning to launch GPT-4 as early as this week, which could potentially allow users to create AI-generated videos from simple text prompts.

This announcement was made by Andreas Braun, Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft Germany, during the “AI in Focus – Digital Kickoff” event, as reported by Heise. Braun said that they will introduce GPT-4 this week and that it will offer “completely different possibilities – for example videos” through multimodal models.

GPT-4 is the large language model technology that underlies apps like ChatGPT. Currently, ChatGPT can only respond in text form, but the forthcoming update is expected to change that.

AI Videos, music and more

While ChatGPT won’t be the first tool to output AI-created videos, Meta’s Make-A-Video has already been launched in 2022, which can create realistic videos based on short text prompts. It is expected that the next version of ChatGPT will be able to do something similar.

Microsoft explained at the AI event that GPT-4 will be “multimodal,” which means that the company’s AI will be able to translate a user’s text into images, music, and video. Holger Kenn, Director of Business Strategy at Microsoft Germany, gave an example of how a call center could use GPT-4 to automatically convert phone conversations between employees and customers into text, saving time and effort that would previously be spent summarizing those calls.

Despite the huge interest and waiting lists, Microsoft did not touch on the integration of ChatGPT into its Bing web browser, possibly due to the recent controversy surrounding it.

With the launch of GPT-4 just around the corner, it will be interesting to see the capabilities of the next version of ChatGPT and whether Microsoft can resolve any of the lingering issues with its AI assistant.
