Microsoft Schedules Mystery Event for Tuesday as Company Accelerates AI Investments

Microsoft Corp. unveiled plans for an event on Tuesday at its headquarters, leaving the subject open to speculation as the company steps up its bets on artificial intelligence — including adding OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot into its Bing search engine.

The company didn’t disclose the content of the 10 a.m. local time event at the Redmond, Washington, headquarters in an invitation to reporters, but said it will “share some progress on a few exciting projects.” Microsoft has been accelerating investments in artificial intelligence and competition in the field of generative AI — named for the ability to generate new content from digital troves of text, photos and art — is heating up.
