German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has announced that it is to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) into its voice control functionality in a new range of vehicles.
Mercedes will utilize GPT, which stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer”, a family of large language models that have been trained to create or summarize texts, answer questions, and generate copy from a written or spoken prompt.
The optional beta program will be available to over 900.000 vehicles equipped with the MBUX infotainment system. It is currently only available in the USA.
