Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates said OpenAI’s language generation artificial intelligence tools are one of two revolutionary technologies he’s come across in his lifetime.
The 67-year-old billionaire and philanthropist sees the promise of the new technology as the “most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface,” which allowed people to more easily interact with computers by using icons, menus and windows, and set the standard for modern operating systems.
