OpenAI brought AI to the mainstream user in 2022 with the introduction of ChatGPT. At the company's DevDay event in San Francisco earlier this month, Mr Altman said the company had reached 800mn weekly active users. OpenAI - now valued at $500bn - has released a slew of new products aimed at increasing engagement with its AI tools. These include the AI-powered browser ChatGPT Atlas, which competes with Google Chrome, and a video generation tool called Sora. But the company also routinely finds itself at the centre of controversy. Last week, OpenAI blocked Sora 2 from creating deepfake videos portraying Dr Martin Luther King Jr after intervention from the late civil rights leader's family. OpenAI also recently said ChatGPT would soon start allowing erotica for verified adults. Meanwhile, critics say OpenAI has downplayed the potential mental health implications of its AI tools which they charge are being built with few guardrails in the pursuit of profits.
