Want to get to our conversations from the C-suite continuing on this Monday. And something that caught our attention was from our Bloomberg Law team. And they wrote about OpenAI and its most recent update to its usage policies for ChatGPT that provides kind of a window into the company's efforts to insulate itself from potential liability for handing out legal advice to its users. Tim, the company's update, they tweak policies about how ChatGPT and other products can be used to provide legal and medical device. And although some lawyers prematurely and inaccurately celebrate the changes as an outright ban on giving legal advice, the update was more a change in wording. ChatGPT still produces legal advice, including drafting contracts.
if asked to do so.
OK, so a brave new world. Don't take legal advice from us. No. Choose whether or not you want to take it from a large language model. Curious what Laura Chambers has to say about this and sort of everything that is this layer of technology that's kind of underlying everything in our ecosystem right now. She's CEO of Mozilla Corporation. She joins us from San Francisco. Mozilla is the global nonprofit dedicated to ensuring the internet remains open, inclusive, and equitable. And you might know the company from its Firefox web browser. And that's really where I want to start in sort of understanding this layer of technology that we're talking about so much that so many of us are using. And I wonder how you look at it as a way that
It's part of the ecosystem now, Laura. Is this like, is it a web browser? Is it like internet access was in the 1990s? Are there going to be no such thing as like, you know, AI companies because everything is going to be an AI company? How should we be thinking about it?
Yeah, it's a moment of tremendous change. One of the big shifts we're seeing is a really renewed interest in browsers as a category. Perplexity just launched their Comet browser. OpenAI just launched their Atlas browser. And it makes sense. The browser has been around for decades, and it's a product we use all the time, but we don't think about it very often. And it's not surprising that AI companies are getting into this space. The browser has incredible access into credentials, your tabs, where you're browsing, how you're spending your time. And as you know, AI companies are very hungry for that information. So it is sort of a moment of resurgence for the browser right now.
Is the browser the gateway to all of this? Or is it not because we're using apps like Cloud or ChatGPT?
What we're finding is that the folks that created those apps are feeling that the interface is a little clunky right now, that you might be in a browser and then you have to go to another tab and back and forth a little bit. And so I think that there will be a role to play for apps. But what we're certainly seeing from OpenAI and others is that they're really interested in getting into the browser space.
