OpenAI's next-generation language model `` GPT-4 '', which is said to be `` the same impact as the first iPhone '', will be announced in March 2023, and whether the image recognition function and multilingual support will be enhanced



At the event titled 'AI in Focus – Digital Kickoff' that started in Germany on March 9, 2023, Andreas Braun, CTO of Microsoft Germany, presented the next-generation large-scale language developed by OpenAI, an AI development organization. It has been revealed that the model ' GPT-4 ' will be announced next week. Brown describes GPT-4 as a 'game changer'.

Mr. Brown said in the event held on March 9, 2023, ``We will announce GPT-4 next week. It is a

multimodal language model that provides the



Brown calls GPT-4 a 'game changer'. Specifically, the ability to understand natural language has improved, and GPT-4 can understand sentences that could only be read by humans and images that could not be understood. It is also claimed to have the potential to work in all languages, such as asking questions in German and getting answers in Italian.

Mr. Brown says that these multimodal GPT-4 functions will be 'comprehensive compared to conventional language models.'

Microsoft, which has

a long-term partnership with OpenAI, announced in early 2023 the AI `` Kosmos-1 '' that can understand not only text but also visual content. This suggests that both companies may be preparing multimodal AI.

Marianne Janick, CEO of Microsoft Germany, emphasized the potential of AI to create value, saying, 'The announcement of GPT-4 in the current AI development environment is a turning point, just like when the first iPhone was announced.' says.

In response to concerns about the loss of employment due to the birth of high-performance AI, Mr. Janick said, ``Disruption due to the introduction of AI does not necessarily mean unemployment. We should focus on employee training,' he said.

In addition, Janik emphasizes that customer data is not used for learning GPT-4, and user privacy is strongly protected.



Senior AI Specialist Clemens Siebler and Technical Advisor Holger Ken introduce the practical use of GPT-4 that they are currently working on. According to Mr. Siebler, the GPT-4 is equipped with a ``transcription function that can record voice calls and automatically convert the conversation content into text''. In addition, by learning according to the user who uses GPT-4, it is possible to 'answer questions about companies that only employees can access' and 'text processing by AI'.

In addition, Ken explained multimodal AI that can translate text in images, music, and videos . I'm talking ``These features are already built into Microsoft products, and millions of queries can be mapped to APIs through the cloud,'' Ken said.



Regarding the reliability of operations and the accuracy of facts in GPT-4, Mr. Seebler said, ``AI is not always correct, so we need to verify it in the future.Microsoft is currently creating an index for reliability. It is.'
