This initiative is part of OpenAI's efforts to expand ChatGPT's capabilities, which is currently utilized by over 300 million individuals.
Meanwhile, AI technology designed to detect and prevent wildfires in California has proven less effective in addressing the recent disasters affecting Los Angeles.
The AI-based system, introduced in 2022 by Governor Gavin Newsom, has aided in preventing some fires but has struggled to cope with the rapid spread of flames that resulted in losses estimated at $150 billion.
Significant Investment in the AI Sector
Anthropic, a major player in the AI industry, is reportedly set to secure an investment of $2 billion, with a valuation reaching $60 billion.

Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, is developing an AI startup named Hooglee, which focuses on AI-based video creation.
This project aims to democratize video production using AI to enhance communication and engagement.
Although details about the startup remain confidential, Schmidt has established himself as a controversial figure in the AI field and continues to invest in this technology, including funding OpenAI and other nonprofit science initiatives.
