The current vertiginous investments in artificial intelligence are not a bubble “but today’s new reality”, while the calculation power is not yet enough to meet the demand of users, said Fiji Simo, Tech Star and De facto Openai number 2, in an exclusive interview. This is the first interview with a media since he assumed the position in August as General Director of Operai applications, including his Flagpt Badgpt model, 40 -year -old French, approved by EBAY and Facebook.
The world of AI feeds an unreasonable investment bubble?
“This is a massive investment in computer power when we desperately lack many uses that people want. So I really do not consider a bubble like a bubble [mais] Like today’s new reality and I think the world will really realize that calculation power is the most strategic resource.
AI is the greatest empowerment force that we will never know. She can save you time. You can give access to education and continuous learning. She can provide advice, tutoring and even financial advice. You can offer you economic means. “
What do you tell those who care, on the contrary, the dangers?
“My job is to make sure that the good sides of this technology are materialized and that we are attenuated aloud. Let’s take mental health, for example. I listen to tons of users to say that they are asking for chatgpt advice in difficult times in which they do not have anyone else to talk about. Many people do not have the means to see a therapist. Many parents tell me:” To delay a situation with my son. “
But at the same time, we must ensure that the model behaves as planned. Our road map is very solid. We have begun with the control of the parents and plan to detect age: if we can determine that the user is a teenager, we will offer a less permissive model than that of an adult.
Employment is also a great concern for me, and the approach is similar. The AI will create many works that did not exist before a quick engineer. At the same time, some professions will be affected, and our role is to help the transition. That is why we offer AI certifications, which allow people to progress and obtain a certification, and we have launched an employment platform that puts people in contact with new points of sale. “
The launch of Sora 2, which allows you to generate short videos from a text, was welcome with enthusiasm but also irony: the generation of fun videos instead of treating cancer?
“I arrived in Openai in large part because I firmly believe that technology will allow you to cure all diseases, and myself suffering a chronic disease, I believe in it deeply. All Sora graphic advances can boost many technologies, but also make people laugh, and it is good on the way to all diseases.”
Today the models are better and better imitate human knowledge. But what are the next advances towards General AI autonomous, capable of learning alone?
“I think the advances refer to the models that understand their objectives and help them achieve them proactively. They not only give him a good response or dialogue, but they say: ‘Oh, it is fine, you want to spend more time with your wife. Well, there may be a weekend getaway that could help him, and I know that he requires an organization. Make some reservations.
“Like European, my heart finds every time I heard this prayer. There has certainly there has been a trend in Europe to focus too much on regulations. I think he is changing, especially when I see that President Macron focuses on innovation. But I also believe that he still needs real actions behind the intentions to become a reality.”
Do you let your child use chatgpt?
“It is not supposed to be available for children under 13, but I let my 10 -year -old daughter use it under my surveillance. It is magical to see what she can create. Only this weekend, she told me about the creation of a new business to transform her ideas into products. And she used Chatgpt to create posters and slogans. In our childhood, we could not specify our image so quickly.
