China is becoming a close rival to Microsoft's language AI model, ChatGPT, according to Microsoft President, Brad Smith. In an interview with Nikkei Asia, Smith acknowledged China's advancements in AI and its potential to challenge the United States' leadership in the field.
"China is becoming a close rival of ChatGPT," Smith stated. He mentioned China has made great progress in the field of AI, and US companies need to be aware of the competition they pose. One is Open AI with Microsoft, the second is Google, and "the third is the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence."
Brian Smith also shared his views on ChatGPT in an interview with BC News. He expressed his admiration for the model's learning capabilities, which have enabled it to complete tasks like creating a sample syllabus, and party invitation However, he also pointed out that ChatGPT still lacks a fundamental understanding of the world and has limitations in some areas.
Despite these limitations, Microsoft remains a leading player in the AI game, with ChatGPT's abilities evolving every day through continuous learning. However, with China's rapid development in the field, the competition between the two nations appears to be intensifying. "The gap is almost always measured in months, not years," Smith said.
