OpenAI Chairman Greg Brockman participated within the SK ‘AI Summit’ keynote session on the 4th and confirmed OpenAI’s entry into the ‘infrastructure business’ field, including manufacturing its own chips.
Chairman Brockman said, “Developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is our ultimate goal, is a really difficult task,” and added, “To start with, we only thought concerning the software business, but our thoughts modified to the indisputable fact that infrastructure business reminiscent of semiconductors can also be essential.”
In relation to this, Reuters reported on the twenty ninth of last month that OpenAI is working with Broadcom and TSMC to develop its own AI chip. Chairman Brockman’s remarks are an official acknowledgment of this.
Opinions on AGI were also expressed. He said, “At first, I assumed AGI was ‘a single system that solves all the things,’ nevertheless it appears to be closer to a gradual development than that.”
He also identified, “Within the case of GPT, it shows a level of information near that of a superhuman in some areas, but its capabilities are still weak in some areas.”
Particularly, he emphasized that the mix of varied aspects reminiscent of infrastructure, data, technology development, and social awareness is very important for AGI development. “In that respect, Korea is a rustic with a special interest in AI, and it appears to be particularly well aware of the importance of the federal government’s role,” he said.
Technology development goals were also announced. As Open AI improves accuracy by strengthening logic and reasoning capabilities, it’s predicted that the expansion of AI within the healthcare field shall be noticeable in the long run.
President Brockman cited the instance of his wife’s recent diagnosis of a rare genetic disease.
That is something that is simple to miss with only the flexibility to have a look at ‘one part’, and in the long run, AI models should have the option to acquire and integrate information from various medical domains.
Due to this fact, it was predicted that it might grow to be possible to search out and diagnose diseases with ‘ChatGPT’. To this end, they announced that they’re working on a project to provide GPT the flexibility to think.
Regarding infrastructure, the facility issue was emphasized. Which means large-scale system development corporations reminiscent of OpenAI have large data centers at their core, so power may be very essential. He said that since that is ultimately a field belonging to the development industry, it have to be done at a national level, including the federal government.
He expressed his positive opinion about the potential of collaboration with SK. He said, “I used to be surprised to learn that SK is investing greater than 50% of its time in AI business.” Nevertheless, no specific details of collaboration were mentioned.
Meanwhile, Chairman Brockman arrived within the country on the night of the 2nd. He said he was spending personal time visiting Hongdae and other places, in addition to meeting his Korean wife’s family.
