In the ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence, the one thing businesses can’t afford to miss out on is staying ahead of the curve. Recently, thanks to OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT, companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba have been flooded with the opportunity to jump onto the new and exciting trend of generative AI.
Leading the charge into the new era of AI is Alibaba, one of the biggest Chinese technology companies in the world. This highly innovative enterprise recently announced the launch of the latest development in their AI model, which dramatically increases the potential of its language capabilities; the model is equipped to understand both Chinese and English. This technology has been integrated into DingTalk, Alibaba’s workplace collaboration software, and Tmall Genie, its very own voice assistant.
CEO of Alibaba Daniel Zhang is confident in the success of the venture, stating in a statement: “We are at a technological watershed moment driven by generative AI and cloud computing and businesses across all sectors have started to embrace intelligence transformation to stay ahead of the game.” Zhang, who has more than thirty years of experience in the heart of the Silicon Valley, has been a key player in propelling the company to new heights.
These improvements of generative AI come at the perfect time. The current pandemic has caused a drastic shift in the way we operate; AI is becoming essential to businesses’ transformations as they try to stay ahead in the competition. Alibaba’s AI model has been specifically tailored to customers and developers, to accommodate their individual and unique preferences.
The recent development has allowed the world to be exposed to AI’s capabilities beyond what was previously thought possible. It gives the potential to incorporate AI into products and services across all industries while keeping up with the industry’s daily changes.
The success of any newly developed AI model can only be proven through testing. CNET’s Imad Khan recently put the new models to the test; comparing their responses to determine which one provided the best results. The tests revealed that ChatGPT returned the most helpful responses, succeeding by appearing more conversational and closer to human-like conversation.
It is clear that the leading tech companies are pushing the boundaries of AI, and Alibaba is no exception. By offering customers and developers the ability to create their own large language models, artificial intelligence has become more accessible and available than ever before.
