OpenAI, Google and others discuss the development of standards for AI use
As major companies have accelerated the development and application of large-scale language models and ChatGPT-like technologies, the potential risks of these artificial intelligence technologies and how to develop and apply them have attracted much attention, including Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Thousands of top people, including Jeff Wozniak, have publicly called on AI labs to suspend training more powerful models for six months in order to develop and implement relevant safety protocols.
According to the latest reports from foreign media, the top investment company SV Angel will convene executives and employees of top companies in the field of AI research and development to discuss the formulation of standards for the use of AI technology.
Foreign media mentioned in the report that the meeting convened by SV Angel will be held on Wednesday local time. Representatives from companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Nvidia are expected to attend the meeting. Continue to develop AI in a responsible manner.
When Musk and others called for a 6-month suspension of training more powerful models, they mentioned in their letter that AI laboratories and third-party experts should use the suspension time to jointly formulate and implement advanced AI design and development strategies. Shared security agreements, related agreements are strictly reviewed and supervised by third-party experts. (Source: TechWeb)
TSMC’s Q1 revenue fell below $16.7 billion, missing management expectations

Ali Zhangyong: All products will be connected to the large model of “Tongyi Qianwen”
On April 11, at the Alibaba Cloud Summit in 2023, Zhang Yong, chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, delivered a keynote speech and said that all Alibaba products will be connected to the “Tongyi Qianwen” model in the future for a comprehensive transformation. He believes that in the era of AI, all products are worth re-upgrading with large models.
“In the era of intelligence, all companies are on the same starting line.” Zhang Yong said, “All industries, software and services are worth redoing based on new artificial intelligence technology, which will not only bring innovative customer experience, At the same time, it will also change our production, work, and life paradigms.” He also pointed out that large models are an all-round competition of “AI + cloud computing”, and the development of large models with over one trillion parameters is not just a matter of algorithms , but includes complex systematic engineering in many fields such as the underlying huge computing power, network, big data, machine learning, etc., which requires the support of ultra-large-scale AI infrastructure.

The total scale of my country’s computing power is the second largest in the world, with an annual growth rate of nearly 30%
It was reported on April 11 that according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the scale of my country’s computing power industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with an annual growth rate of nearly 30%, and the scale of computing power ranks second in the world. According to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of last year, the total scale of my country’s computing power reached 180 exaflops per second, and the total scale of storage capacity exceeded 1000EB (1 trillion GB). The network one-way delay between national hub nodes is reduced to less than 20 milliseconds, and the scale of the core industry of computing power reaches 1.8 trillion yuan. The China Academy of Information and Communications Research estimates that every 1 yuan invested in computing power will drive 3 to 4 yuan of GDP economic growth. (Source: CCTV News)

BYD releases new energy exclusive intelligent body control system “Cloud Chariot”
Recently, BYD released the new energy exclusive intelligent body control system “Cloud Chariot”. The cloud car intelligent body control system is self-developed by BYD’s full-stack, which also marks that BYD has become the first Chinese car company to independently master the intelligent body control system.
Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD Group, said at the press conference that the launch of “Cloud Chariot” is another safety technology breakthrough for BYD after blade batteries, body integration technology (CTB), and four-motor independent drive system (Easy Square).
Wang Chuanfu said that starting from the systematic control of the vertical direction of the vehicle, the “Cloud Chariot” can effectively suppress the change of the body posture, greatly reduce the risk of vehicle rollover, and reduce the displacement of the driver and passengers. At the same time, the cloud car system can effectively protect the vehicle body in complex road conditions such as snow, mud and water, avoid collision damage to the vehicle caused by terrain, ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle, and achieve double protection for people and vehicles .
According to reports, the cloud car system will be installed in BYD Dynasty series models, Ocean flagship models, Tenza brand, Yangwang brand and professional personalized brand models. (Source: Geek Park)
Byte AI is also here, and Feishu will launch a smart AI assistant “My AI”
According to news on April 11, ByteDance’s office software Feishu released a video to announce the exclusive smart assistant “My AI”.
Different from the artificial intelligence products launched by other major domestic manufacturers, from the demonstration point of view, the positioning of My AI is not like ChatGPT, which communicates with users at will, but is more similar to Office Copilot launched by Microsoft.
In the demonstration, users can generate meeting minutes through My AI summary, and create corresponding to-do items based on the meeting minutes to assist users in planning follow-up work.
At the same time, the AI can generate reports and other content based on document data, and can further write document content based on user edited content, which greatly improves work efficiency.
In addition, My AI can also assist users in creating meetings, querying case references, brainstorming, planning project progress, etc., to help users in all aspects.
It can be said that although My AI may not be as good as the generative artificial intelligence that can talk freely in terms of “intelligence”, at this stage, it can obviously provide more and more practical help for work. (Source: Fast Technology)
TikTok accused of promoting unscientific diet and weight loss among young people
TikTok content related to food and nutrition perpetuates an unhealthy eating culture among younger users, while expert voices are largely absent on the platform, a University of Vermont study found. Researchers advocate for a shift toward weight-inclusive nutrition and a rethinking of society’s attitudes toward the body, food, and health.
The study, recently published in the journal PLOS One, found that the weight norm message, the idea that weight is the most important measure of one’s health, dominates on TikTok, with the most popular videos glorifying the act of weight loss and referencing food As a primary means of achieving health and weight loss. These findings are particularly concerning given existing research linking social media use among adolescents and young adults to abnormal eating and negative body image.
Senior researcher Lizzy Pope said, “Every day, millions of teens and young adults are fed content on TikTok that portrays highly unrealistic and inaccurate images of food, nutrition, and health. TikTok, which is caught in the weight-loss trend, may have a negative impact on viewers. It is a very bad environment, especially for the main users of the platform, which are young people.” (Source: cnBeta)
