Microsoft to collaborate with Harvard to improve healthcare and lessen reliance on OpenAI

Microsoft will collaborate with Harvard Medical School to improve its Copilot artificial intelligence assistant with health material, as part of a larger push to minimize its reliance on ChatGPT developer OpenAI, the Wall Street Journal said Wednesday.

A major Copilot upgrade set to be released this month will be the first to reflect a new collaboration between Microsoft and Harvard Medical School, according to people familiar with the situation.
