FameEX Hot Topics | Alibaba Developing AI Rival to ChatGPT

Alibaba is working on an AI chatbot called Tongyi Qianwen that could compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. The chatbot is expected to be integrated with Alibaba's various tech businesses, including DingTalk and Tmall Genie, and will be capable of communicating in both English and Mandarin. The initial version of Tongyi Qianwen is designed to be able to turn conversations into written notes, write emails, and draft business proposals. However, it is still unclear whether the chatbot will have the same creative capabilities as ChatGPT.

The development of AI chatbots is not new in the tech industry. Google's Alphabet and Chinese tech firm Baidu have also created AI chatbots called Bard and Ernie, respectively. ChatGPT, on the other hand, has been integrated into Microsoft's internet browser, Bing, and has gained worldwide attention for its ability to provide sophisticated information responses in a casual chat-like manner, mimic different writing styles by command, and help users create all kinds of texts, from academic research to movie scripts.

The increasing prevalence of AI chatbots has led the Chinese government to issue guidelines requiring developers to ensure that the content generated by chatbots reflects the values of socialism and does not pose a threat to national security. The Cyberspace Administration of China's guidelines demand that AI-generated content "must not contain subversion of state power" and should align with "core socialist values." It is yet to be seen how Tongyi Qianwen will compare to ChatGPT and other AI chatbots in terms of functionality and capabilities. However, Alibaba's vast ecosystem of tech businesses gives Tongyi Qianwen an edge in terms of potential integration and usability across various platforms.

In conclusion, the development of AI chatbots is an ongoing trend in the tech industry, with several major players, including Alibaba, Google, and Baidu, developing their versions of the technology. Tongyi Qianwen, Alibaba's upcoming chatbot, has the potential to rival ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, but only time will tell whether it can measure up to its competitors. Nonetheless, the Chinese government's guidelines for AI-generated content demonstrate the growing importance of ensuring that AI technologies align with national values and do not pose security risks.
