OpenAI CEO Hints At Future Developments In AI Voice Assistant Technology

According to PANews, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hinted at the company's future direction in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistants. During a podcast on May 11, Altman stated that OpenAI will continue to improve and enhance the voice functionality of ChatGPT, expressing his belief that voice interaction is a crucial pathway to future interaction methods. Altman said, 'Multimodal interaction capabilities are very powerful, for example, you can ask: 'Hey, ChatGPT, what am I looking at?' or 'I'm not sure what kind of plant this is.'' The report suggests that OpenAI is developing a feature that will compete with Apple's Siri and Google's voice assistant. This AI voice assistant is expected to enhance user interaction by answering queries and providing information in a more conversational manner. In previous news, it was reported that OpenAI would host a global live broadcast on the morning of May 14. However, it was clarified that the company would not be launching GPT-5 and an AI search engine at this event.
