Microsoft réduit sa dépendance à OpenAI pour Microsoft 365 Copilot
Microsoft Corporation Projected to Decrease Dependency on OpenAI for AI Technology
Microsoft Corporation is reportedly planning to decrease its reliance on ChatGPT-maker OpenAI by integrating internal and third-party artificial intelligence models into its AI product, Microsoft 365 Copilot. This strategic move aims to diversify the underlying technology used by Microsoft and reduce costs associated with the partnership.
Reasons Behind the Strategic Shift
The decision to reduce 365 Copilot’s dependence on OpenAI comes as a result of concerns about cost and speed for enterprise users. Microsoft, led by Satya Nadella, is taking steps to ensure that the company is not overly reliant on a single technology provider, thereby safeguarding its AI strategy and business operations.
A Microsoft spokesperson mentioned that OpenAI remains a key partner for the company, with various models from both OpenAI and Microsoft being incorporated depending on the specific product and user experience.
Enterprise Implications and Outlook
While Microsoft 365 Copilot is still in the process of proving its return on investment to enterprises, the tech giant has not disclosed specific sales data related to the number of licenses sold. This strategic shift aligns with similar moves made by other Microsoft business units to diversify the use of AI models beyond OpenAI.
GitHub, acquired by Microsoft in 2018, recently added models from Anthropic and Google in October as alternatives to OpenAI’s technology. Concerns have been raised internally about Microsoft’s heavy reliance on OpenAI for its AI strategy, prompting a reevaluation of the partnership.
Market Performance and Considerations
Microsoft’s stock experienced a slight decline of 0.31% on Monday, closing at $435.25. However, year-to-date, the shares have seen a rise of 17.36%. This strategic shift in AI technology usage could have long-term implications for Microsoft’s business operations and competitive positioning in the market.
