Microsoft is partnering with Harvard Medical School to enhance its **Copilot** AI assistant with health-focused content. This collaboration is part of Microsoft's broader effort to reduce its reliance on **OpenAI**, the company behind **ChatGPT** ([link to ChatGPT](https://aiapps.com/items/chatgpt)). The partnership aims to integrate content from **Harvard Health Publishing** into Copilot, allowing it to provide more accurate and reliable healthcare information. ### Key Points of the Partnership - **Integration of Health Content**: The updated version of Copilot, expected to be released as early as this month, will utilize health information from **Harvard Health Publishing**. This integration is designed to offer users healthcare queries that are comparable to advice from a medical practitioner. - **Reducing OpenAI Dependence**: Microsoft has been using **OpenAI** models across many of its applications, including **Word** and **Outlook**. However, as part of its strategy to reduce this reliance, Microsoft is also exploring other AI solutions, such as **Anthropic's Claude**, and is currently developing its own AI models. - **Licensing Agreement**: Microsoft will pay a licensing fee to Harvard for the use of its health content. This agreement underscores Microsoft's commitment to enhancing the credibility and accuracy of its AI assistant. According to Dominic King, vice president of health at Microsoft AI, the goal is to provide users with health information that is more aligned with what a medical practitioner would offer. This partnership reflects Microsoft's ongoing efforts to improve the capabilities of its AI tools while diversifying its partnerships and technologies in the AI sector.
