Giants rush to the AI ​​voice robot market, but Google's market value shrinks by 700 billion due to mistakes

On February 7, Baidu announced the development of an artificial intelligence product similar to ChatGPT, named "ERNIE Bot", which will be released as early as March. Baidu said that it is a knowledge-enhanced continuous learning semantic understanding framework that Baidu has pioneered, which can achieve continuous evolution of model effects through continuous learning. Baidu founder Robin Li mentioned in September last year that the development of AI has "directional changes in both the technical level and the commercial application level". Some market insiders believe that "ERNIE Bot" may have been born at that time.

As the public's attention to artificial intelligence voice continues to increase, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that in a recent demonstration, a user asked "How to tell a 9-year-old about the discovery of the James Webb Space Telescope", and Google AI chat robot Bard replied: "The James Webb Space Telescope has taken the first pictures of planets outside the solar system." Later, an astronomer pointed out on Twitter that the European Extremely Large Telescope captured an image of a galaxy outside the solar system in 2004. This obvious mistake instantly dampened the public's trust in AI.

It is reported that after Google AI chatbot Bard was found to have given an incorrect answer, the stock price of Google's parent company Alphabet fell by more than 7% on February 8, and its market value evaporated by about $100 billion. A spokesperson said that Bard's error highlighted the importance of a rigorous testing process, which will be launched this week. Google will combine external feedback with internal testing to ensure that the information provided by Bard meets a high standard in terms of quality, security and integrity.

In addition to the accuracy issue, the use of artificial intelligence also has risks and ethical issues, such as reducing people's logical thinking ability, believing in the wrong information generated by AIGC and causing losses, and even some lawless elements may use it to create phishing software and vulnerability malicious attack software. But there is no need to panic about this. "ChatGPT will make people feel a sense of urgency to improve their personal competitiveness, which is necessary."
