Power generation, generate electricity for AI!
April 17, AI Circle Weather: Sunny and Cloudy
OpenAI and ChatGPT lead the fire of this new wave of artificial intelligence, the domestic is already in full swing, foreign technology companies are not idle, let's first see what they are doing with AI:
Google reinvents search engines with AI
Thanks to the concept of AIGC, Bing has repeatedly brushed its presence, coupled with its "scandal" with mobile device giant Samsung - Samsung is considering replacing the default search with Bing, (you know, Samsung produces hundreds of millions of smartphones with Google Android software every year.) ）
This makes Google, which is a "search brother", a little unable to sit still, and directly "blacken" - oh no, it should be "AI", to use artificial intelligence technology to build a new search engine.
Google has set up a special projects team in its search division, codenamed "Magi," and already has more than 160 full-time employees involved. It is expected that by the end of this year, it will be in public testing in the United States.
Let's boldly predict whether ChatGPT's popular AI chat, drawing, and code writing capabilities will be added to the new Google search at that time?
Microsoft uses AI to reinvent digital advertising and industry
Microsoft, which has already taken the lead, is not idle.
Microsoft is trying to transform its digital advertising business with ChatGPT AI, starting testing ads in Bing chat replies in February. Bing is also testing photo and video ads, which will appear below the user's conversation with the chatbot.
Microsoft is also working with Siemens to plan to leverage AIGC technology to improve the entire workflow of industrial design, engineering, manufacturing, and operations. At present, the two have three major cooperation directions: AI + industrial enterprise collaborative office, AI+PLC code generation tool, and AI + quality inspection/intelligent operation and maintenance.
From digital industry to industry, Microsoft's "reinvention" heart is a bit wild!
Meta reinvents with AI... Company name?
In order to show the determination to transform the meta-universe, Zuckerberg changed the company's name from Facebook to "Meta", but this year's situation is a bit bad, the meta-universe is being abandoned by some big factories, and Meta has not eaten much dividends, but its performance has been repeatedly dragged down and tens of thousands of employees have been laid off.
It may be that seeing this year's AIGC, Zuckerberg has a new career direction, saying in a letter to employees that building the metaverse is still the core of defining the future of social, but this is not where Meta will invest most of its money.
After all, money will be as honest as the body. Zuckerberg said the biggest investment right now is advancing AI and building it into every product.
Meta's biggest breakthrough in the field of AI recently is the release of the image segmentation model SAM, which can be used to identify objects in images and videos, and achieve image segmentation according to text instructions and other methods, commonly known as "cutout", this news has made Meta's stock price rise again.
The popularity of AI, Zuckerberg can be rubbed, but also let the outside world see that Meta is not inferior to Google, Microsoft's technical strength.
I just don't know, Zuckerberg's big move, will it be the company to change its name?
Zhou Hongyi: GPT will reshape all today's industries
Zhou Hongyi believes that
— GPT is a productivity tool. Note that it's not just a chatbot, it's not just a search engine, it's not just an office tool, it's going to reinvent all the industries it has today.
— GPT is a productivity tool. Note that it's not just a chatbot, it's not just a search engine, it's not just an office tool, it's going to reinvent all the industries it has today. "All the software, all the apps, all the websites deserve to be reinvented."
But Zhou Hongyi also said that the "reshaping" here is not to replace, but to empower with artificial intelligence. It can be seen that the future will not take a long time, this industrial revolution does not need five or ten years, only two or three years will probably produce results. ”
In the past, when the Internet was popular, the Internet circle created a word called "Internet +", and Boss Zhou also followed the trend and put forward the idea of "artificial intelligence +" in the future, and now the "Internet thinking" of the fire will also become "artificial intelligence thinking or GPT thinking".
It really is - everything can be AI!
Thinking of the awakened artificial intelligence of science fiction films, many have embarked on the road of no return as enemies of human beings, and they are not aware of our future full of worries, will AI have their (or their) own consciousness?
Zhou Hongyi gave his prediction: GPT is not a question of whether consciousness can be generated, but when consciousness will arise. I predict that it will happen around version 8.
——GPT will be conscious in a few years! A little scary, is there? But the big guy added another sentence:
"You asked me if I have any basis, I have no basis at all, just nonsense."
- Well, he will talk about it, you just listen, don't be scared. However, the words of another foreign AI expert still have to be listened to:
American AI expert: AI is always an accessory of human beings and does not produce consciousness
This is said by Arthur Abu-Mustafa, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the California Institute of Technology, a well-known expert in the field of artificial intelligence and one of the founders of the IEEE Neural Network Council, who has worked as a machine learning consultant for several technology companies.

Without further ado, on dry goods:
1) Whether or not humanity will achieve AGI one day, at least I don't think it will be the end of the world.
2, AI is always an inanimate machine, there are tight gears behind it to drive it, these gears are different parameters, complex output may leave us with the impression that there is a different person there, but this output is not from consciousness, but an algorithm.
3) No technological advancement in AI can produce a "conscious entity", not now, not in 20 years, probably never.
4, after the birth of ChatGPT, it may not take 20 years, almost all routine human work may be replaced by AI in a shorter time.
5. We have no pressure to coexist with AI, which will always be an accessory of human beings.
——Coexisting with AI, we as human beings are still a little shivering...
However, his prediction, if compared with Musk's, is already extremely mild. Let's hear how Musk is scary:
Musk: AI will hit humanity like an asteroid and have the potential to destroy civilization
Musk's sentiment came from a discussion he had with experts on Twitter.
AI software developer Mckay Wrigley tweeted on Saturday: "If a year ago you said we would have GPT-4 AI models, you would have been called a 'madman'. Now think about it, in another year, 5 or 10 years, it's going to hit humanity like an asteroid. ”
Musk agrees with Wrigley's statement. Responding to Wrigley's tweet on Sunday, he said: "I thought this was going to happen long before GPT-1, which is why I've been trying to warn the public for years." I used the opportunity of my only one-on-one meeting with Oba President Ma to encourage AI regulation rather than promote Tesla or SpaceX. ”
"Artificial intelligence, more dangerous than poor aircraft design or production maintenance or poor car production, because it has the potential — however small one thinks it is, but it's not trivial — it has the potential to destroy civilization." He said.
——However, while uniting thousands of technical experts to sign an anti-GPT open letter, and at the same time establishing a X.AI artificial intelligence company, we don't know whether Musk's position is on Mars or Earth...
