Chinese tech giant Alibaba has announced plans to launch its own ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence (AI) product called Tongyi Qianwen.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The cloud-computing unit says it will integrate the chatbot into all of Alibaba’s stores in the “near future,” but gave no details on its timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In recent months, tech companies around the world have unveiled their own so-called generative AI chatbots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this year, Alibaba announced it was working on a rival to ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tongyi Qianwen roughly translates to “seeking an answer by asking a thousand questions,” though Alibaba didn’t provide an English version of the name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We are at a technological inflection point, powered by generative AI and cloud computing,” said Daniel Zhang, Alibaba’s chairman and chief executive, when Tongyi Qianwen was launched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company said Tongyi Qianwen, who can work in both English and Chinese, will first be added to DingTalk, Alibaba’s workplace messaging app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It will perform a range of tasks, including turning conversations into meetings into written notes, writing emails and drafting business proposals, the company said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alibaba said it will also be integrated with Tmall Genie, which is similar to Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant smart speaker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Interest in generative AI has increased since Microsoft-backed OpenAI released ChatGPT in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Generative AI is able to learn from past data to create content indistinguishable from human work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ChatGPT can answer questions in natural, human-like language and also mimic other writing styles, using the internet as a database like in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Microsoft spent billions of dollars on the technology, which was added to its Bing search engine in February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The US software giant also said it will embed a version of ChatGPT in its Office apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alphabet’s Google and Chinese tech giant Baidu have also announced their own AI models and released similar chatbots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Last month, a group of high-profile tech figures called for the suspension of training on powerful AI systems, fearing a threat to humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were among those who signed an open letter warning of potential risks and saying the race to develop AI systems is out of control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, a recent report by investment bank Goldman Sachs estimated that AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this month, Italy became the first western nation to block ChatGPT, with the country’s data protection regulator citing privacy concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
