China needs to seize the opportunities in the AI industry through two key elements: developing independent and controllable platforms and learning from global advanced intelligence technologies, said Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFlytek.
Liu said that cognitive large-scale models have emerged as a breakthrough in achieving generative AI. However, he acknowledged that pure large-scale models still have some limitations, such as the challenge of timely knowledge updates and the potential for misinterpretation in factual question-answering.
He highlighted the progress of iFlytek's SparkDesk, an AI-based large language model released on May 6. SparkDesk has surpassed ChatGPT in three key capabilities: text generation, knowledge questioning and mathematical abilities, he added.
It is expected that SparkDesk will achieve a universal model that matches ChatGPT in October, surpassing the current version in Chinese and leading the education and healthcare industries.
