In a recent interview, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, shared his insights on artificial intelligence and revealed that if Xiaomi had not decided to enter the car manufacturing field in 2021, the company might now be more focused on AI. Lei Jun pointed out that even while building cars, Xiaomi's development in artificial intelligence has not lagged behind the industry. He emphasized that Xiaomi has actually been actively engaged in AI-related work, though it has been relatively less publicized.

Sora has not yet begun to publicly open testing permissions. Li Yizhou sold approximately 250,000 courses over the year, generating revenue of 50 million yuan. AI courses are priced from a few yuan to several hundred yuan, with varying quality. Job seekers with generative AI skills have seen an average salary increase of 47%. Companies require employees to be proficient in using AI tools, and the demand for AI tools in office settings is rising. Workers are starting to learn AI or use AI tools to enhance their competitiveness.

Nanjing University has launched the first three-tiered core general education course plan in artificial intelligence for universities across the country, covering 1 compulsory course, X competency courses, and Y frontier extension courses for over 3,700 freshmen. This plan will apply to all undergraduate freshmen, and Nanjing University will establish the first AI course among national universities.

Li Yizhou gained attention due to his AI course generating 50 million in sales revenue but recently chose to quietly take the course down. After some viewers investigated, they found potential issues with Li Yizhou's course and questioned its professionalism. Although Li Yizhou claims to be a Tsinghua PhD, he did not actually graduate in AI. The core keywords include design, AIoT, and others. Li Yizhou's identity is from Tsinghua University's Academy of Art and Design and is unrelated to AI or deep learning fields.

After Sora's launch, many self-media operators introduced paid courses related to Sora, priced from 50 yuan to 999 yuan, claiming to teach Sora usage techniques and provide creative materials. However, Sora has not been opened to the public. Li Yizhou and other internet celebrities, who claimed to be Tsinghua PhDs, allegedly dissolved their paid group without refunds. Meta scientist Yang Likun questioned Sora's video generation route, declaring it destined to fail. Industry insiders believe that some courses exploit information asymmetry, taking advantage of people's naivety and collecting 'intelligence tax'.

The Sora text-to-video model released by OpenAI has created a buzz, with some individuals using the Sora name to sell courses and accounts, and even committing fraud. Most of these courses and accounts are overpriced, with false content and no actual value. Some course sellers haven't even used Sora themselves; they are simply profiting from people's anxiety and information asymmetry. OpenAI has not yet opened access to Sora, and we remind everyone to be cautious to avoid getting scammed. It is advised to stay informed about new technologies like Sora.

Google and Microsoft have joined forces to launch introductory AI courses aimed at fostering children's interest and understanding of AI from an early age. Google's 'Experience AI' course is targeted at students aged 11-14, teaching fundamental AI knowledge through practical cases and interactive teaching. Microsoft's 'Generative AI for Beginners' course focuses on generative AI, providing detailed tutorials and GitHub repositories. AI education has become a priority for both Google and Microsoft, aiming to cultivate a diverse next generation of thinkers.
