A rapidly growing new generation of artificial intelligence technology has been emerging over the past two months, and it is proving itself exceedingly capable. Just this year, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4 which quickly mastered its exams and was then followed by Midjourney v5, a tool designed to generate photorealistic images using text, Runway Gen-2, a text-to-video generator, and AutoGPT, a GPT-4 powered tool that can create sub-agents. All of these advancements, coupled with the artificial music collective Fake Drakes Heart on My Sleeve, have thrown the tech industry into a flurry and have pushed the boundaries of what AI can do.
At the forefront of this innovative wave of AI is the ETH Foundation, co-founded by Vitalik Buterin. The Ethereum Foundation is focused on a global transition to smart contracts, decentralized applications, and an open financial system, which will be powered by ETH. It also supports the development of AI tools and platforms, as well as blockchain-based projects that are related to the industries of banking, healthcare, education, gaming, and more.
ChatGPT is the latest addition to the AI arsenal, a robotic dog that uses the OpenAI GPT-4 model to respond to user queries. The brainchild of programmer and entrepreneur Ashwin Vosale, ChatGPT is a unique tool that adds a more conversational element to Artificial Intelligence over and above its previously impressive capabilities. The AI-powered tool is still in its early stages of development but is currently being tested out by an exclusive waitlist.
It is starting to become clear that AI is having an increasingly powerful influence on our daily lives and industries around the world. These advancements, be it the integration of ChatGPT into robotic dogs or the fake Drake song, are examples of how we are pushing boundaries to understand AI and its potential impact. As we witness this remarkable AI revolution, surely 2021 will continue to prove itself to be an exciting year for technology advancements.
