New Delhi, Jan 19: Satya Nadella, Microsoft Chairman and CEO, in a session at the world economic forum annual meeting on Wednesday, told Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, of World Economic Forum, that ‘a golden age of AI’ is underway and will redefine work as we know it.
“The future of work is not just about technology and tools. It’s about new management practices and sensibilities to the workplace,” Nadella said.
He said, “Microsoft is opening up access to new AI tools like ChatGPT and he sees these technologies acting as a co-pilot, helping people do more with less.”
He provided two anecdotes of recent use cases of GPT technology, the first of an expert coder from Silicon Valley who improved his productivity by 80 per cent by using the model to help write better code faster.
The second one, he said, involved an Indian farmer who was able to use a GPT interface to access an opaque government programme via the internet, despite only speaking a local dialect.
ChatGPT is the latest language model from OpenAI that was designed and trained to interact with people via a chat user interface. GPT stands for Generative Pre–trained Transformer, where a transformer is a type of AI model. The cutting chatbot ChatGPT is capturing the world’s imagination and the new artificial intelligence site amassed 1 million users in just five days after its recent launch. It answers complex questions via short prompts on a vast array of topics, and even writes lyrics and poetry.
Coming forward, he said, “Microsoft intends to lead on quantum computing.”
“Microsoft will achieve quantum supremacy and aims to build a general-purpose quantum computer,” he added.
Nadella also stated that sustainability is at the core of the business and by 2050 Microsoft aims to not just be carbon-neutral but carbon-negative.
