According to news from IT House on March 27, Zhou Hongyi, founder of the 2023 China Development Forum, and Apple CEO Cook and others delivered speeches.

Zhou Hongyi said that there is a gap between the technical level of China's big language model and GPT-4 in two to three years. At present, the technical direction of GPT is clear, and there are no insurmountable technical obstacles. China should adhere to the spirit of long-term doctrine and catch up. He predicts that artificial intelligence from GPT-6 to GPT-8 will generate consciousness and become a new species.

In his speech, Zhou Hongyi showed the self-portraits generated by AI drawings and the opening remarks generated by the large language model. As far as the IT family knows, he divides the development of artificial intelligence into three stages: artificial intelligence disability, strong artificial intelligence and super artificial intelligence. Zhou Hongyi believes that GPT-4 already has superhuman ability and real intelligence.

When he was in GPT-3.5, Zhou Hongyi predicted that it would grow "eyes and ears." at present, GPT-4 already has the ability to see pictures, which initially confirms his judgment. He said that the artificial intelligence big model is the greatest tool invented by mankind, and the people who are likely to be eliminated in the future are those who can't ask questions and can't use artificial intelligence big models.

Zhou Hongyi believes that China has the ability to develop its own big language model of artificial intelligence. He said that there is a gap between the technical level of China's big language model and GPT-4 in two to three years. At present, the technical direction of GPT has been clear, and there are no insurmountable technical obstacles. China should adhere to the spirit of long-term doctrine and catch up.

He pointed out that China has great advantages in scene, engineering, product and commercialization, especially in the field of knowledge tagging. China has the dividend of high-end knowledge talents, and artificial intelligence trainers will become a new hot profession.

It is said that the biggest challenge restricting the development of artificial intelligence is energy, and artificial intelligence should be used in reverse to help human beings solve problems such as room temperature superconductivity and nuclear fusion, and help human beings realize energy freedom.

Zhou Hongyi predicts that artificial intelligence from GPT6 to GPT8 will generate consciousness and become a new species. At the time of GPT-3.5, Zhou Hongyi predicted that it would grow "eyes and ears." at present, GPT-4 already has the ability to see pictures, which preliminarily confirms Zhou Hongyi's judgment. As GPT has evolved "hands" and "feet", it has the ability to manipulate the world by accessing the Internet API.

He also mentioned that in the future, artificial intelligence big language models may achieve self-evolution, automatic update system and self-upgrade, or exponential evolution ability, and human beings will face unpredictable security challenges.

At the end of the speech, Zhou Hongyi imagined that with the continued development of artificial intelligence, mankind will achieve digital immortality, dialogue with the sages, and better realize the inheritance of human civilization.
