Today, Wednesday, Microsoft announced its own electronic chip, in an effort to confront the high cost of artificial intelligence services. At a developers conference in Seattle, Microsoft introduced a new chip called Maya, to speed up artificial intelligence computing tasks. Maya is designed to power generative artificial intelligence to support Microsoft’s Agile OpenAI service, and is the result of a collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI, owner of ChatGPT. Microsoft said that it does not plan to sell its chips, but rather will use them to run its subscription programs and as part of the Agiore cloud computing service. Microsoft and other technology giants are facing a rise in the cost of providing artificial intelligence services, which can be ten times greater than traditional services such as search engines. Microsoft executives said they plan to address these costs by directing nearly all of the company’s efforts to putting artificial intelligence into its products. Archyde.com quoted Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President of the Cloud and Artificial Intelligence Group at Microsoft, as saying: “We believe this gives us a way in which we can provide better solutions to our customers that are faster, less expensive, and of higher quality.” The CEO of analytics company Creative Strategies, Ben Bagarin, said that the Maya chip will allow Microsoft to sell artificial intelligence services in the cloud until personal computers and phones become powerful enough to handle it. “Microsoft has a completely different kind of opportunity,” he continued, “because it makes a lot of money per user in exchange for services.”
