Artificial intelligence has become the latest battleground for startups, tech giants and venture capitalists, with tens of billions of dollars already at stake. OpenAI’s ChatGPT catalyzed a boom in conversational AI, which has seeped into industries such as healthcare, law, advertising and education, and has sent regulators and content publishers into a tizzy. AI-generated video and music is shaking up Hollywood and other fields. Now, a handful of companies will shape the future of this technology—and the way society interacts with it.
