In the face of the rapid growth of the AI chatbot market that supports natural language, the whole technology world seems to be standing still. Witnessing the resounding initial victory of Microsoft and OpenAI, no one wants to be late, especially businesses from the world’s leading technology powers, including China.
Microsoft President Brad Smith has warned that Chinese institutions and research companies could become ChatGPT’s main competitors in the field of synthetic AI development.
In a recent interview with Nikkei Asia, the Microsoft executive said that China will certainly not let itself be left behind in the ongoing innovation race in the field of artificial intelligence, and gradually become a great counterweight to western companies like ChatGPT or Microsoft itself in general.
From a personal analysis perspective, Brad Smith has identified three leading organizations in the field of general AI now and in the near future: OpenAI with Microsoft, Google, and the Northern Institute of Artificial Intelligence. Terrible. However, the Microsoft president also said that the competition for innovation in general AI development is “extremely macro, fierce”, and that the gap between leading organizations is almost always measured in months, not months. not the year.
Innovative AI, which is the technology behind ChatGPT, is capable of generating text and images on a near-human level of sophistication. However, there are concerns that this technology could replace workers by automating many jobs and could be used to spread misinformation, piracy, invasion of privacy. and leak sensitive information.
Smith believes that the solution to such concerns is not to stop innovating, but to optimize and improve existing products. He said that like other technologies, AI can be both a tool and a weapon, depending on how humans control and operate them.
Many Chinese tech giants are “crazy” with the chatbot market, trying to launch a competitor ChatGPT. Besides Alibaba and Baidu, Chinese technology group JD.com has also expressed interest in integrating ChatGPT-like technology into its products. Game company NetEase has also confirmed plans to deploy LLM to serve its education business.
