ChatGPT clears multiple exams
The Research release version of the AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, passed several examinations, including law exams from the University of Minnesota courses, parts of the U.S. Medical Licensing exams, and an exam from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.
While the chatbot has passed these exams, it did not necessarily do so with flying colours and at times required human prompts in order to successfully execute the tasks.

The move could benefit rivals like Apple Inc., which is steadily growing its nascent advertising business.
