China News Agency, Beijing, February 28 (Reporter Xia Bin) ChatGPT, a large language model launched by the American artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has attracted global attention, and its popularity continues to rise in China.
Someone asked, how far is China from its own ChatGPT?
Zhou Hongyi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and founder of 360 Group, told reporters from China News Agency that if ChatGPT is regarded as a robot that can "talk to humans", it would be too "pediatric".
Its appearance may be a turning point in the history of artificial intelligence development.
Chu Junhao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an expert in semiconductor physics and devices, believes that the hot ChatGPT is one of the epitome of the rapid iterative development of new formats and technologies, but it is by no means the end.
Catching up with the development of new technologies, how can China have its own ChatGPT?
In fact, data shows that the scale of China's digital economy has been ranked second in the world for many years in a row, and new business models, application scenarios, and growth drivers are constantly emerging.
He Han, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy general manager of Tianyu Digital, pointed out that Chinese technology companies are currently paying more attention to the application of actual scenarios, which is related to the stage of economic development. At present, there are a large number of traditional industries in China that need to quickly use digitalization to achieve productivity improvements.
But in the long run, the lack of underlying technical capabilities will limit the development space of industrial digitization, and even a large-scale pre-training model like ChatGPT itself will become a "stuck neck" technology.
Shao Zhiqing, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and full-time deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Zhi Gong Party, said in an interview that when talking about the localization of ChatGPT, the phenomenon of ChatGPT reflects two problems: First, China's business wizards, that is, the entrepreneurial spirit It needs continuous training; the second is the breakthrough of the underlying technology, that is, there is still a long way to go for technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
He also emphasized that China's advantage lies in its large-scale application market and massive data. If there are more wizards in the underlying technology and business model, then I believe that the Chinese style of ChatGPT or a model beyond ChatGPT will emerge in the future. .
"We need to realize that the artificial intelligence technology represented by ChatGPT is also a 'hard technology', and must rise to the same important position and height as the chip industry at the national level." Li Tao, member of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and founder of Kirin Hesheng Group, said.
In his view, at present, the technology still relies on GPU server clusters built with high-performance GPU chips, but in the foreseeable future, artificial intelligence and chip design will form a synergy between software and hardware, once this capability breaks out , it may take ten to twenty years for China to catch up.
What are China's own strengths at the moment?
And how to catch up?
Zhou Hongyi believes that ChatGPT requires continuous use, feedback, and correction from users, so that its capabilities can be continuously improved.
China's advantages include more large Internet companies, better computing power, and bonuses for engineers.
The "Proposal on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Artificial Intelligence Large-scale Model Technology with Industry-Research Collaboration and Open Ecological Model" brought by him this year suggested that the industry-research collaborative innovation model of large technology companies + key scientific research institutions should create China's "Microsoft + Open AI "The combination leads the research on large-scale model technology; supports the establishment of multiple long-term open source projects for national-level artificial intelligence large models, and creates an open innovation ecosystem of open source crowdsourcing.
Aiming at the current gap between China's artificial intelligence field and ChatGPT, Li Tao suggested to take advantage of China's nationwide system, actively make up for shortcomings, and speed up catching up with the world's advanced level.
Specifically, the first is to formulate national strategies and roadmaps and strengthen top-level planning and design.
The second is to attach importance to the basic technology and innovative research of artificial intelligence, and accelerate the cultivation of core talents.
The third is to support the construction of new infrastructure such as "computing power", "algorithms" and "data" required for ChatGPT alternative products.
The fourth is to optimize the government's centralized procurement system and support the development of technologically innovative enterprises.
Li Tao mentioned that at the level of computing power, it is necessary to encourage industry innovation, and under the conditions of existing resources, find innovative ways to narrow the gap in computing power; Small artificial intelligence algorithms; at the data level, it is necessary to integrate industry forces and establish a set of high-quality databases for artificial intelligence super-model training.
He Han hopes that relevant industry authorities will encourage technology companies to focus on open source algorithm models, open source data set construction, data element sharing and circulation, Chinese and English data complementarity, and intelligent Make long-term investment in key points such as computing power cluster construction, speed up the construction of data, algorithms, and computing power infrastructure, and form an ecology.
