Abstract

These past few months there has been buzz about ChatGPT, which is one product controlled by two companies. And the buzz has been almost using ChatGPT as a synonym for artificial intelligence (AI). But, is that true? Well, for the specific kind of artificial intelligence, an implementation of machine learning that has enough detail to have a human feel, pretty much, yeah. This specific style of AI is definitely not easy to implement. OpenAI's product offering includes fee based API services. Because of that, there is a lot of buzz, and other companies are able to build products and services on top of ChatGPT. One of the dangers is that to a casual observer, it might look as if new AI implementations are broadly available. However, the truth is that this style of AI is heavily concentrated within just a few of the largest corporations. These few large incumbents control the access and steward the data used for training, and the nature of machine learning with high entry costs keeps the technology centralized.
