OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research and technology company that develops advanced language models, such as ChatGPT, that can understand, generate, and reason with natural language. It’s one of the fastest-adopted technologies in history, and many analysts believe ChatGPT will significantly reshape how people search for information in the coming years.
