At the main forum of the 2024 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Alibaba Group CEO Wu Yongming delivered a speech on the company's strategy in the era of artificial intelligence. Wu Yongming emphasized that Alibaba is committed to doing two things: first, continuously improving artificial intelligence infrastructure and related support systems; second, adhering to open source and openness, collaborating with ecological partners to transform AI capabilities into productivity across various industries.

Another major move in the tech world! OpenAI has announced the launch of OpenAI Academy, a program aimed at investing in developers and organizations to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to solve problems and catalyze community economic growth. The goal of this academy is to ensure that the transformative potential of AI is accessible and beneficial to diverse communities worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Many countries' tech sectors are rapidly developing, boasting talented developers and innovative organizations, yet opportunities to access advanced training and technological resources remain limited.

Sam Altman's Worldcoin project has garnered widespread attention and controversy for its combination of biometric iris scanning and cryptocurrency. Users obtain specific cryptocurrencies by scanning their irises, with their information linked to the blockchain to provide universal basic income. However, this process has raised concerns about privacy and data security, leading to investigations by more than 14 countries. Worldcoin is under scrutiny in at least 14 countries, including France, the UK, South Korea, and Chile. Privacy officials state they are collaborating with regulatory agencies, but progress on this collaboration has been limited.

In July, OpenAI's ChatGPT achieved a record monthly revenue of $28 million, driven by the launch of the GPT-4 'omni' mode in May, which enhanced text, voice, and video processing capabilities and improved response times. This new feature led to a 40% revenue increase in May, and although growth slowed afterwards, it remained robust. Appfigures estimates that ChatGPT added about 2 million new paid users in July, setting another record. With the in....

Recently, a large-scale study funded by OpenAI founder Sam Altman revealed the impact of universal basic income on the lives of American citizens. Conducted by the OpenResearch Lab over three years, this study provided $1,000 per month to 3,000 randomly selected participants in Texas and Illinois, while establishing a control group that received $50 per month.

Nvidia's net income increased by 265% in the fourth quarter, with founder Jensen Huang announcing Nvidia AI services. The company generated $22.1 billion in revenue, with net profit skyrocketing by 769%, exceeding expectations. The Nvidia AI supercomputer DGX can be accessed via web browser and is available on multiple cloud platforms.

A study conducted by music associations in France and Germany shows that more than two-thirds of musicians are concerned about AI threatening their ability to earn a living. 35% of respondents stated that they have already used AI in music creation-related fields. Experts estimate that by 2028, musicians' incomes will decline by 27%, equivalent to about 2.7 billion euros (2.9 billion dollars). 95% of respondents demand more transparency from companies developing AI tools.

Last year, OpenAI's non-profit division reported a net income of only $45,000, drawing public attention. Although profit-generating businesses like ChatGPT are expected to generate millions in revenue, the gap is significant. Microsoft invested $10 billion for a 49% stake, and the profit division could be valued as high as $90 billion. OpenAI's company structure is under scrutiny, with private investors committing billions in investments, sparking controversy.

Swiss researchers found that large models like GPT-4 can infer users' private information such as age, gender, and income from Reddit posts. GPT-4 achieved over 60% accuracy in predicting this information on the Personal Reddit dataset, especially for gender and birthplace. As model scale increases, GPT-4's accuracy in attribute inference improves significantly. The authors successfully extracted user information with a comparable accuracy to GPT-4 through simulated chatbot experiments. Experts point out that identifying and removing personal data from large models is nearly impossible, highlighting the need for privacy protection measures.

Imbue is an artificial intelligence startup founded by a Chinese female entrepreneur. The company is valued at over $1 billion, becoming a unicorn in Silicon Valley. The large model trained by Imbue has over 100 billion parameters, creating codable AI agents. Founder Qiu Kanjun was an early member of Dropbox and is skilled in building communities. Imbue's goal of creating AI agents is as noble as that of researchers at Xerox PARC building personal computers half a century ago.

Intel's Q3 revenue decreased by 8% year-on-year to $14.2 billion, below the expected $13.54 billion. Intel's data center and AI business income was $3.8 billion, down 10% year-on-year, slightly below expectations. Intel stated that the data center market has begun to stabilize but still faces competition from rivals like Nvidia. Intel hopes to gain an advantage in the AI technology revolution through self-developed software, while AMD and Nvidia are developing Arm chips to compete with Intel in the PC market.
