DETROIT: General Motors Company is exploring uses for ChatGPT as part of its broader collaboration with Microsoft Corp, a company executive said on Friday.
“ChatGPT AI tool is going to be in everything,” General Motors Vice President Scott Miller said in an interview.
The chatbot could be used to access information on how to use vehicle features generally found in an owner’s manual, program functions such as a garage door code, or integrate schedules from a calendar, Miller said.
The news was first reported by the website Semafor, which said that the American automaker was working on a virtual personal assistant that uses AI models behind ChatGPT.
Microsoft announce investment in ChatGPT owner OpenAI
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced a multi-billion dollar investment in ChatGPT-owner OpenAI and said it aims to add the chatbot’s technology into all its products.
Like other big tech companies, Microsoft has been ramping up its efforts to embed more technology in vehicles, from infotainment systems to automated driving to operating systems that control battery performance and multiple other functions of a vehicle.
GM, in 2021 partnered with Microsoft to accelerate the commercialization of driverless vehicles.
Shares of GM were down about 2 percent on Friday amid a broader drop.
