OpenAI delays launch of voice assistant, citing safety testing


The artificial intelligence company had planned to release new voice features for ChatGPT this month but said a broad release would instead come in the fall.

OpenAI had originally planned to offer the new features to some paying subscribers in late June but is postponing that initial release by a month, the company said in a statement on X. Last month, Google scaled back how often it shows AI-generated answers on top of search results, after the tool made strange errors such as telling people to put glue on their pizza. “ChatGPT’s advanced Voice Mode can understand and respond with emotions and nonverbal cues, moving us closer to real-time, natural conversations with AI,” OpenAI said in its statement.
