OpenAI’s new Voice Mode for ChatGPT, initially set to debut in late June, has been delayed by at least a month and will now be available in late July or early August, initially to a small group of users. This delay comes as OpenAI aims to ensure the feature can “detect and refuse certain content,” addressing safety and reliability concerns. The Voice Mode promises a more natural, conversational experience with emotional inflection and the ability to manage interruptions. This update was a highlight of OpenAI’s Spring Update event, alongside the new GPT-4o foundation model. The delay is a setback for OpenAI as it contends with rivals like Anthropic and addresses internal and external criticism regarding its safety measures and business practices. Despite these challenges, OpenAI continues to make strides, with new collaborations in video AI, healthcare, and enterprise solutions. The upcoming VentureBeat Transform 2024 event will feature key industry leaders discussing the future of AI.
