Hyderabad: OpenAI plans to turn its Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT, into an operating system. To achieve this, the AI company has taken a major step by hiring Glen Coates as the new Head of the App platform. According to Coates’ X post, he shared that he has joined OpenAI and aims to develop ChatGPT into an operating system (OS). Coates was previously Vice President and Head of Product at Shopify. At OpenAI, he will report to Nick Turley, Head of ChatGPT.
Why does ChatGPT as an OS make sense?
ChatGPT currently functions as both an app and a platform. Users can converse with the AI chatbot and get answers to their queries. Additionally, ChatGPT, through its new features, can integrate with third-party apps. Recently, the AI chatbot launched the ChatGPT Apps feature, which enables apps such as Adobe, Canva, and Zillow to integrate directly within ChatGPT. This functionality eliminates the need to open separate apps, enabling users to perform tasks from other apps inside ChatGPT.
According to a report by TechCrunch, Nick Turley stated that in the coming years, ChatGPT will be developed into a platform with dedicated apps for every task. For instance, if a user wants to write, code, or connect with a service or product, ChatGPT will provide individual applications (apps) for each requirement.
To build an OS, the platform must bridge the gap between hardware, users, and apps. ChatGPT already has a user interface (UI), AI agents, a search system, and a data layer, but it lacks hardware integration. Once this is achieved, ChatGPT could evolve into its own OS. This is where OpenAI’s partnership with Jony Ive becomes crucial. For those who don’t know, Ive was formerly Apple’s Chief Design Officer, where he created iconic products such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. After leaving Apple, he also worked with Airbnb and Ferrari.
It is expected that OpenAI will launch an AI device integrated with ChatGPT OS by 2027.
Sam Altman-run OpenAI already has robust data centres, app partnerships, and AI technology. Once all these elements are integrated, ChatGPT could become the world’s first AI OS. However, the company has not provided a definitive timeline.
