Inventory Prospect Generative Artificial Intelligence
editorial comment/note
Recently, the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center released the "Top Ten New Words" in 2023, among which "generative artificial intelligence" ranked first and was highly eye-catching. As a hot term throughout the year, generative artificial intelligence has benefited from the emergence of ChatGPT since the beginning of 2023. This has also led to the rapid development of AI algorithms, big models and big data, and many large technology companies at home and abroad have come off the AIGC track. After a whole year’s competition, AIGC has now presented the market grand occasion of various language model products and applications, and was once considered as a key variable and an important symbol to promote artificial intelligence from 1.0 to 2.0. Its development prospect in the new year is worth looking forward to.

If 2023 is a year when the technology of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) shines brilliantly, it is definitely one of the most appropriate and objective evaluations of AIGC.
Near the end of December, the AIGC wave that swept the world for a whole year is still showing its strong momentum of rising sun, which not only triggered the rapid development of artificial intelligence related industries, but also always remained in the focus of public opinion.
In China, "generative artificial intelligence" once won the top ten new words in 2023 released by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center. Overseas, driven by the phenomenal application of ChatGPT, many technology giants came out with funds, which not only made AIGC a veritable "gold-sucking beast", but also reminded more and more investors of the Millennium Internet bubble crisis known as "one of the biggest financial bubbles in American history".
At that time, from the listing of Netscape in August, 1995, it continued until the beginning of the Millennium, when capital was "betting" on the Internet. Until March, 2000, with the rising interest rate and the sound of recession, the Nasdaq index, which had passed 5,000 points, plunged. The stock index fell for two years, and the market value of Nasdaq fell by 5 trillion US dollars, less than a quarter of its peak.
According to overseas media statistics, this crisis led to the bankruptcy of 52% Internet companies, and the market value of most companies fell by 75%.
In the global scientific and technological community, "Netscape Moment" and "iPhone Moment" are regarded as milestones in the development of the Internet and mobile Internet. One is to let humans "touch the net" for the first time; The other is to bring the mobile Internet revolution through smart mobile terminals. Today’s AIGC, under the background of technology giants gathering resources to develop application scenarios, seems to be brewing a new moment when artificial intelligence affects the development of human society.
Of course, some optimists believe that it seems too early to expect the development of the AI field to repeat the "nightmare" of the Internet bubble. The reason is that the initial public offering in the AI field has not yet been seen in the world. But even so, the background and strength of financial capital behind technology companies and investors are worthy of all walks of life to plan ahead for the "bubble brewing in the AI field".
After all, after the practice in 2023, the AIGC series applications were released and quickly commercialized, which greatly reduced the process of human science and technology level changing life and affecting the development of the industry. What’s more, the potential of AIGC to drive the market value jump continues to make financial capital eager.
For example, as early as September, a person familiar with the matter revealed that ChatGPT’s startup OpenAI is currently actively discussing the sale of equity, and the company’s valuation has reached a remarkable $80 billion to $90 billion (about RMB 584.8 billion to RMB 657.9 billion). This valuation is almost three times that of the beginning of this year.
Looking forward to 2024, the AIGC field, which has won many fans all over the world, is bound to start a new round of exhibition, and it is imperative that the influence of AIGC will spread to more industries, which will also make generate a different "fireworks". At present, it seems to be a global consensus to face the impact of artificial intelligence technology, meet challenges and share opportunities together. Based on this, the development trend of AIGC in 2024 is worthy of attention.
　First, cross-domain integration is bound to accelerate further.With the continuous progress of AI technology and the expansion of application fields, AIGC will further realize cross-domain integration. For example, artificial intelligence technology is combined with medical care, education, finance and other fields to create more practical application scenarios. We must know that only the application scenarios recognized by the market can create value, and then achieve a win-win situation for industrial technology progress and market scale expansion.
　Second, global cooperation may break through on a larger scale.Under the background of globalization, cooperation among countries will be closer. Today’s world is no longer a "paleolithic age" that sticks to the fruits of science and technology. Only by sharing more open and open-source technologies can we create a harmonious and win-win progress environment. For example, Tesla’s openness in the field of electric vehicles has earned it a larger market space and technology upgrade. Observing the enterprises and institutions in the AIGC field, it is very likely that they will be open to open source technology in the future and jointly promote the development and application of technology by strengthening transnational cooperation. After all, this cooperation will help reduce costs, improve efficiency and promote the global popularization of AIGC technology.
Third, personalized customization will become more convenient.Meeting more diversified needs means driving more diversified supply of products and services. With the diversification of consumer demand, AIGC technology will pay more attention to personalized customization. Through deep learning and big data analysis, AIGC system can provide more accurate and personalized services according to users’ needs and preferences. As long as it has sufficient and reliable data and mature algorithms, it is only a matter of time before AIGC meets the demand of personalized customization, which may be the key to incite more private domain customers in the future.
　Fourth, intelligent decision-making will be applied to more industries and enterprises in the industrial chain.AIGC technology will be further applied to the field of intelligent decision-making. Through machine learning and artificial intelligence technology, enterprises can automatically analyze and process data and improve the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making. For the vast number of manufacturing enterprises with extremely strict requirements on numerical control technology, applying reliable artificial intelligence technology to production links is simply a great boon to greatly reduce or even eliminate production consumption and eliminate hidden dangers of production accidents.
　Fifth, privacy protection and ethical issues may trigger more national legislative mechanisms.From the perspective of protecting and developing the level of science and technology and the industrial environment, most countries will restrict the privacy protection of science and technology based on the existing laws and regulations. However, technology is changing with each passing day, especially the application of AI technology and big data, which is almost pervasive in people’s economic and social life. Forming a more scientific, mature and effective legal environment in the future is an important institutional guarantee to ensure that AI technology will go further. In any case, it needs to be clear that enterprises and institutions need to strengthen data security protection to ensure that user privacy is not leaked. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the ethical issues of artificial intelligence technology to avoid the occurrence of technology abuse and discrimination.
To be sure, as AIGC technology shows a new trend of integration and development under the background of globalization in 2024, all countries will spare no effort in promoting the progress and application of AIGC technology, and cooperate in strengthening technology research and development, personnel training, data security protection, etc. to ensure the safe, reliable and sustainable development of technology, bring greater changes to more industries around the world, and promote the development and progress of human society.
