Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shares how ChatGPT has ‘reached’ remote villages in India – Times of India

The cutting-edge chatbot ChatGPT is capturing the world’s imagination. The new artificial intelligence site amassed 1 million users in just five days after its launch late last year. It is but one of a dozen AI-driven so-called “killer apps” that promises to transform human productivity and the future of work. ChatGPT answers complex questions via short prompts on a vast array of topics, and even writes lyrics and poetry. Underpinned by generative models such as GPT-3 and GPT-3.5, it is the most conspicuous example of technology dubbed generative AI.
Satya Nadella, Microsoft chairman and CEO, in a session at the annual meeting, told Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman, World Economic Forum, that a golden age of AI is under way and will redefine work as we know it. Nadella shared two anecdotes of recent use cases of GPT technology. One was about an Indian farmer who was able to use a GPT interface to access an opaque government programme via the internet, despite only speaking a local dialect. He said that he was impressed how fast the technology is spreading globally and making an impact even in remote areas.
In the second one, an expert coder from Silicon Valley who improved their productivity by 80% by using the model to help write better code faster. “AI is just at the beginning of the S-curve,” said Nadella. The near-term and long-term opportunities are enormous, he added.
Microsoft opening access to new AI tools
“The future of work is not just about technology and tools,” he said. It’s about new management practices and sensibilities to the workplace,” he said. “Technology will provide more and more ways to bring people together,” he said. Public-private cooperation itself is moving virtual. The Forum’s Global Collaboration Village, for example, harnesses the power of the metaverse as a platform for collaborative, inclusive and effective international action.
“Microsoft is opening up access to new AI tools like ChatGPT,” said Nadella. “I see these technologies acting as a co-pilot, helping people do more with less.”
Aims to lead quantum computing
Looking ahead, he said Microsoft intends to lead on quantum computing. Microsoft has all the building blocks for a next-generation quantum computer. He said: “Microsoft will achieve quantum supremacy and aim to build a general-purpose quantum computer.”
On safety and security, Nadella said the operating principle for protecting critical infrastructure should be to assume the worst – “have zero trust”. “Safety and security needs to be included right at the design stage,” he said.
Sustainability is at the core of the business. “By 2050 Microsoft aims to not just be carbon-neutral but carbon-negative.” Last year the tech giant released “Cloud for Sustainability”, bringing together a growing set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) capabilities across the Microsoft cloud portfolio plus solutions from the firm’s global ecosystem.
