(Economic Observer) Will ChatGPT come to the metaverse and welcome new opportunities?
China News Agency, Beijing, February 18th (Liu Wenwen and Wang Dongyu) Recently, the topic of ChatGPT has continued to increase in popularity.
Is it related to the last popular concept Metaverse?
ChatGPT strikes, will the metaverse usher in a new opportunity?
At the 2023 Spring Meeting of the Metaverse Industry Conference held in Kunshan, Jiangsu recently, many experts pointed out that there are many commonalities between ChatGPT and Metaverse.
Ren Fuji, an academician of the Japanese Academy of Engineering and a distinguished professor of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, said that Metaverse is a new digital ecology formed by the aggregation of many advanced technologies such as 5G communication, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet, and blockchain.
ChatGPT and Metaverse have a lot in common, and both require powerful data, computing power, and algorithm support. Artificial intelligence technology is conducive to Metaverse to better promote the interaction between people, between people and machines, and between machines. interact.
Luo Jun, executive chairman of the Metaverse Industry Special Committee of China Computer Industry Association, also pointed out that without powerful artificial intelligence technology, neither ChatGPT nor Metaverse can be realized, and the further maturity of ChatGPT technology has cleared up many problems for the popularization and application of Metaverse. Obstacles, out of the critical first step: first the interaction of language, and then the interaction of behavior.
Xu Yongming, vice president of iQIYI, believes: "In the metaverse, the interaction between humans and machines is more complex. Unlike mobile phones, which can be simply operated with fingers to provide instructions. In this scenario, the interaction between humans and machines Voice interaction is the best way to interact, and ChatGPT, which can provide interactive answers, can be used by Metaverse to help Metaverse realize it faster.”
According to Deng Xiaotie, a foreign academician of the European Academy of Sciences, ChatGPT makes people and machines have a tacit understanding. It uses the data collected from human language to generate language and interact with real people to build a Chat society.
"It can be said that ChatGPT actually realizes a metaverse of language, that is, a dialogue between robots and humans. It proves that in a language society, many agents can reach the level of human understanding through the environment of language interaction. This is It’s a good example that shows that the metaverse can be connected with the real society and can grow with each other.” Deng Xiaotie said.
Ren Aiguang, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, believes that the rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence represented by ChatGPT provides an efficient content generation tool for the construction of the Metaverse, which is expected to boost the development of the Metaverse.
Luo Jun said bluntly: "We are confident that the emergence of ChatGPT will advance the metaverse by at least ten years, and the metaverse will be everywhere around 2030."
In the view of Guo Yike, the chief vice president of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, when various technologies such as the Internet and cloud computing are integrated, everyone in the world can establish a complete connection with anyone at any time, any place, just like the arrival of " Zero Distance Era".
In this case, the social structure and economic structure will undergo tremendous changes, which is the significance of the Metaverse.
How can China seize the opportunity to accelerate the layout of the metaverse?
Guo Yike believes that the development of the Chinese metaverse must stick to its own path, have its own right to speak, and not copy what others say.
China has gone very far in the Internet economy, and it is very good. It should also have a deep understanding of the metaverse on the development path of the metaverse.
China must take advantage of the opportunity of the zero-distance society to seriously study technology, especially its economic ecology, and establish a solid technical foundation for the data economy in the zero-distance society.
In Ren Aiguang's view, in the future, China will not only grasp the wave of a new round of technological revolution, establish ChatGPT to speed up the layout of the metaverse, but also regulate supervision to prevent hype and promote healthy and powerful development.
Ren Aiguang suggested that we should continuously make breakthroughs in key core technologies in the metaverse field, take the development of metaverse as a guide, promote the integration and application of new generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, and accelerate the transformation of achievements.
Give full play to the advantages of China's super-large market demand and super-wide application scenarios, and develop new metaverse application scenarios around the fields of industry, cultural tourism, education, and smart cities, and form a high-level development in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand.
