Google vs. Microsoft: Early ChatGPT investor sees two-horse AI race for ‘most important technology for the planet’

  • “AI technology is likely to become the most important technology for the planet in the next 20 years,” said venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.
  • While the capabilities of AI will be much greater than people expect today, it sees a two-horse race.
  • Khosla told CNBC that OpenAI, a Microsoft partner, is nimble and Google has a large pool of resources.

According to venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, who was the first venture capitalist of ChatGPT’s parent company OpenAI, the possibilities for artificial intelligence will be much greater than people expect, but the market will be a two-horse race.

His company Khosla Ventures invested in OpenAI in 2019, and the startup has since received billions of dollars from Microsoft, which is integrating its artificial intelligence technology into Bing.

“AI technology is likely to be the most important technology for the planet in the next 20 years,” Khosla said in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.

He also noted that the generative artificial intelligence technology behind so-called chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Bard will turn search engines into “answer systems”.

Microsoft and Google have plenty of room to take advantage of the growing market, and both bring their strengths to the advancement of AI research and technology.

“OpenAI needed a lot of Microsoft resources, so it was a great partnership. It is a fast and flexible organization. [and] this is their advantage,” Khosla said. “Google has a lot of talented researchers and a lot of good technology, and I have no doubt they will get it right.”

Investor excitement about AI has skyrocketed in recent months thanks to the success of ChatGPT as well as the integration of chatbot technology with the Bing search engine. Google Bard stumbled earlier this week when it provided incorrect information in promo designed to illuminate technology.

But Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management said Wednesday’s drop in Alphabet’s stock was exaggerated and the company’s artificial intelligence technology shouldn’t be so easily ignored.

Similarly, Bank of America said that while Microsoft was this week’s winner in artificial intelligence, Google has several key long-term advantages.

Holsa said that in 20 years the AI ​​market will eclipse the current Google and Microsoft markets, adding that “the market is very, very large, much larger than most people predict today.”

“Both have really good infrastructure, resources to compete effectively, and I think this will be a two horse race in this market,” he said. “One will have nimble OpenAI. The other will have many deep talents.”
