Deepwater Asset Management‘s managing partner, Gene Munster has expressed concerns about Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) future in the field of AI as it continues to rely heavily on ChatGPT-parent OpenAI.
What Happened: During an appearance on CNBC’s Closing Bell on Tuesday, Munster said that the Satya Nadella-led tech giant’s Build conference was “underwhelming.” He went on to add that the conference did not unveil anything new that had not been previously disclosed by OpenAI.
“It reminds me that Microsoft’s future is in the hands of OpenAI,” Munster said.
