Microsoft, a worldwide leader in technology, is faced with a new competitor in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field—China. According to Microsoft President Brad Smith, in a recent interview with Nikkei Asia, China has advanced significantly in AI and is quickly becoming a close competitor to Microsoft’s popular AI model ChatGPT.
Smith highlighted the three most powerful AI entities: Open AI with Microsoft, Google, and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence. Despite its advanced capabilities, Smith pointed out that ChatGPT still lacks understanding of the world and has its own drawbacks. However, with the progress of the model, it is becoming more capable each day.
As a constant challenge to the United States’ leadership in the field, the competition between China and the U.S. intensifies day by day. According to Smith, the gap between their abilities can be measured in just months rather than years.
