OpenAI $20k AI for Biz

OpenAI Introduces AI for Businesses with a $20,000 Monthly Fee

• OpenAI is launching specialized AI tools for businesses, available only through a $20,000 monthly subscription.

• These AI models can handle tasks like data classification and software engineering at an expert level.

• The AI is said to have skills comparable to a PhD holder, raising concerns about access control and workforce replacement.

This move could reshape industries by automating complex tasks traditionally handled by highly skilled professionals. While it offers efficiency and cost-saving potential for companies, it also sparks concerns about job displacement and ethical AI usage.
