DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) -Business titans trudging through Alpine snow can\u2019t stop talking about a chatbot from San Francisco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Generative artificial intelligence, tech that can invent virtually any content someone can think up and type into a text box, is garnering not just venture investment in Silicon Valley but interest in Davos at the World Economic Forum\u2019s annual meeting this week.<\/p>\n

Defining the category is ChatGPT, a chatbot that the startup called OpenAI released in November. The tech works by learning from vast amounts of data how to answer any prompt by a user in a human-like way, offering information like a search engine would or prose like an aspiring novelist.<\/p>\n

Executives have floated wide-ranging applications for the nascent technology, from use as a programming assistant to a step forward in the global race for AI and military supremacy.<\/p>\n

Conference goers with a major stake in the development of the technology include Microsoft Corp, whose chief executive, Satya Nadella, said the tech\u2019s progress has not been linear.<\/p>\n

AI capabilities will \u201ccompletely transform\u201d all of Microsoft\u2019s products, he said in an on-stage interview with the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has a $1 billion investment in San Francisco-based OpenAI that it has looked at increasing, Reuters has reported. In an announcement that coincided with the conference, Microsoft said it plans to market ChatGPT to its cloud-computing customers. The company has also worked to add OpenAI\u2019s image-generation software to its Bing search engine in a new challenge to Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google.<\/p>\n

Later on Tuesday, the political sphere gets to weigh in on the craze. French politician Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot planned to join a panel discussion with a Sony Group Corp executive on the technology\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n

Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare Inc, a company that defends websites against cyberattacks and offers other cloud services, sees generative AI as good enough to be a junior programmer or a \u201creally good thought partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview, Prince said Cloudflare was using such technology to write code on its Workers platform. Cloudflare is also exploring how such tech can answer inquiries faster for its free-tier customers as well, he said on the annual meeting\u2019s sidelines.<\/p>\n

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies Inc, a software provider helping governments visualise an army\u2019s movements or enterprises vet their supply chains, among other tasks, said such AI could have military applications.<\/p>\n

Karp told Reuters in Davos, \u201cThe idea that an autonomous thing could generate results is basically obviously useful for war.\u201d<\/p>\n

The country that advances the fastest in AI capabilities is \u201cgoing to define the law of the land,\u201d Karp said, adding that it was worth asking how tech would play a role in any conflict with China.<\/p>\n

Businesses including CarMax Inc have already used Microsoft and OpenAI\u2019s tech, such as to generate thousands of customer review summaries when marketing used vehicles. Proposed venture-capital investment has also exceeded what some startups want to take.<\/p>\n

Such buzz carried through gatherings at Davos, like talk about a slide-generating bot dubbed ChatBCG after the management consulting firm. The service said on its website that it had too much demand to keep operating.<\/p>\n

Generative AI is \u201ca game-changer that society and industry need to be ready for,\u201d stated an article on the World Economic Forum\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
