Artificial intelligence has become rapidly popular in recent months.
The CEO of a tech company says artificial intelligence (AI) avatars will be able to attend work meetings by the end of this year. Otter CEO Sam Liang said these avatars can act, speak and problem-solve just like the workers they are based on. Liang said he came up with a technology-enabled solution to this problem because he attends at least 10 meetings every day.
“The prototype could be put into practical use in the second half of this year,” Liang said. business insider.
“AI models are typically trained using a set of data to behave human-like. AI avatars are created based on recorded meeting notes and audio data of the specific people they are trying to reproduce. “The avatar acts and speaks exactly like them. Given enough information, the avatar (in theory) will speak at the rhythm of the individual worker and add to the conversation.” They will be able to participate and answer questions based on workers’ unique perspectives,” he added.
In tests conducted by Liang's company, AI avatars were able to answer 90 percent of the questions faced during meetings. “When I got stuck on his remaining 10%, the question was sent to a human worker with a note that said, 'I don't know how to answer this question. Can you help me?'” he said. added.
Liang said these AI avatars will save employees' time and improve productivity. By sending these bots to customer support, sales, and team status update meetings, employees can utilize the extra time in their day to focus on more creative tasks, which in turn helps the company. can increase your revenue.
The most difficult part is adding emotional intelligence to the AI persona so it can participate in meetings in a productive way. This means you can speak up when you need to, and stay calm when you need to.
This is yet another advancement in the field of AI, which is rapidly becoming an integral part of the global landscape and transforming the way businesses operate.
However, some people and organizations are warning against the rapid adoption of AI.
The Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to mitigating the catastrophic risks of advanced artificial intelligence, announced in March 2023 that it would temporarily train OpenAI's AI system, which is more powerful than GPT, for six months. An open letter calling for it to be stopped has become a hot topic. 4. The report says AI labs are “locked in an uncontrollable race” to develop “powerful digital minds that no one, not even their creators, can understand, predict, or reliably control.” he warned.
He also said the development of ever more powerful AI risks taking away jobs to the point where it becomes impossible for humans to learn new skills and enter other industries.
Another emerging threat that politicians and technology leaders must be wary of is the potential for AI to become powerful enough to pose a threat to humanity.
