Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella noted on Wednesday that the world is entering a golden age of artificial intelligence by citing a recent instance in which an Indian farmer utilised a ChatGPT interface to access a secret government programme online despite only understanding a local dialect.
During a conversation at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, he stated that recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence and technologies like ChatGPT are attracting huge interest and generating enthusiasm.
Technology, according to Nadella, will continue to develop new ways to unite people.
The innovative chatbot ChatGPT is winning over consumers worldwide, and the brand-new artificial intelligence platform just launched attracted 1 million users in just five days.
ChatGPT provides succinct responses to challenging queries on a wide range of subjects and even composes lyrics and poetry.
The Microsoft Chairman and CEO stated that a golden age of artificial intelligence (AI) is begun and would transform work as we know it in an interview with WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab.
“Technology and tools alone will not determine the future of labour. It relates to new management techniques and workplace sensibility “Added Nadella.
He claimed that Microsoft is making new AI tools like ChatGPT more accessible and he believes that these tools will operate as a co-pilot, enabling users to accomplish more with fewer resources.
He gave two examples of current GPT technology use cases. The first involved a Silicon Valley professional programmer who increased his output by 80% by using the model to speed up the process of writing better code.
The second case, he claimed, featured an Indian farmer who, despite only understanding a regional dialect, was able to use a GPT interface to access a secret government programme online.
“The S-curve for AI has barely started. There are a tonne of opportunities both now and in the future “Added he.
He predicted that Microsoft will take the lead in quantum computing.
Microsoft possesses every component needed to create a next-generation quantum computer. Microsoft will succeed in quantum computing, he continued, and the company is working to create a general-purpose quantum computer.
Nadella stated that the operating premise for defending critical infrastructure should be to “have zero trust” and assume the worst.
Safety and security must be considered from the beginning of design, he stressed.
According to him, sustainability is fundamental to the company’s operations, and by 2050, Microsoft wants to go beyond carbon neutrality to become carbon negative.
