ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022. It leverages advanced large language models, such as generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) including GPT-5, to produce human-like text, speech, and images in response to user prompts ranging from simple questions to complex tasks. Trained as a sibling to InstructAI, ChatGPT excels at detailed responses, making it versatile for everyday conversations, problem-solving, and creative generation. OpenAI, its parent company founded in 2015 by pioneers like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, and others, initially operated as a non-profit before transitioning to a for-profit model in 2019 to secure funding for AI research. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, OpenAI powers ChatGPT via robust infrastructure, including Microsoft Azure supercomputers equipped with thousands of Nvidia GPUs. The tool operates on a freemium model, allowing free access with premium upgrades for enhanced capabilities like faster responses and priority support. ChatGPT has accelerated the global AI boom, inspiring competitors and applications in governance, such as Brazil's Porto Alegre council using it to draft legislation. Users interact through text, audio, or image inputs, with data collected to refine the model further via partnerships like Sama for training data. Its accessibility has democratized AI, enabling tasks from writing assistance to research synthesis, while raising discussions on ethics, safety, and AGI potential. OpenAI's mission emphasizes safe, beneficial AI development, positioning ChatGPT as a cornerstone in human-AI interaction.
