Guo Mingchi pointed out that AI and AIGC (artificial intelligence generated content) have become irreversible industrial trends, but this trend will also reshape the industry structure and give birth to new winners and losers. With the rapid development of technology, companies need to constantly innovate and adjust their strategies to adapt to this change. However, if AI/AIGC cannot establish a sustainable profit model, the industry's enthusiasm for investment in it may gradually cool down and even stagnate.
It is worth noting that as a leading company in the field of AI, OpenAI also faces huge challenges in the future. OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is reportedly likely to be in financial trouble by the end of 2024 due to its high operating costs. Among them, ChatGPT's daily operating expenses are as high as nearly US$700,000, which is a shocking number. Such a huge expenditure not only reflects the complexity of AI technology, but also highlights the difficult situation of enterprises on the road to commercialization.
The rise of AI/AIGC has undoubtedly brought unprecedented opportunities to all walks of life. From content creation to data analysis, from automated production to personalized services, AI application scenarios are constantly expanding. However, technological advancement does not equate to commercial success. How to find a balance between technological innovation and market demand has become a difficult problem that enterprises urgently need to solve.
In addition, the rapid development of AI/AIGC has also triggered extensive discussions on issues such as ethics, privacy and employment. With the popularity of technology, how to ensure that its application conforms to social values, how to protect user data security, and how to deal with the impact of technological changes on the employment market are issues that require in-depth thinking.
Despite the challenges, the prospects of AI/AIGC are still worth looking forward to. With the continuous maturity of technology and the gradual improvement of business models, AI is expected to realize its potential in more fields and have a profound impact on human society. However, this process requires the joint efforts of businesses, governments and society to ensure the sustainability and inclusiveness of technological development.
In short, AI/AIGC, as a clear industry trend, is reshaping our world. In this process, innovation and challenges coexist, and opportunities and risks are intertwined. Only those companies that can accurately grasp trends and flexibly respond to changes can stand out in this change and become winners in the new era.
