OpenAI announces ChatGPT API and Whisper API for programmatic access

AI Impact Summary

OpenAI is making two new programmatic endpoints available: ChatGPT API for conversational AI and Whisper API for automatic speech recognition. These APIs enable developers to embed chat-based assistants and speech-to-text capabilities directly into applications, enabling richer user experiences and new workflows without custom UI work. Organizations should plan for integration, monitor pricing and rate limits, and implement data handling and privacy controls for model outputs and audio data.
