In May 2024, OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer Mayra Moratti showed a live demo of her company’s new product ‘GPT4O’ during a live conference, as well as introducing new updates to GPT 3.5.
Amazingly, this version of OpenAI ‘GPT4O’ is not only capable of faster, updated and real-time responses than before, but it can also understand or at least understand human emotions and feelings. Kim certainly pretends to do so and responds in exactly the same way.
The O in ‘GPT4O’ stands for Omni, which means it is a multi-language model that can respond not only to text but also to images, audio and video. During a live demo streamed by OpenAI, it also acted as a real-time translator between humans speaking two different languages, telling stories when sleep-deprived, singing songs and suffering from depression. Also advised a person to remove it. It can learn the expressions of a human face just by looking at it, just like any other human.
It can also flirt with humans and help them find lost things. Various videos released by ‘OpenAI’ show how it is guiding the visually impaired to find a taxi. One important thing is that you can also pause this new model while answering and ask a new question.
It also has a memory feature which means it can now remember what you have already said for a long time. Its voice chatting and photo analysis features are also available to subscribers of the non-premium version, which we also tested and found to be very impressive. But its free version is available for a very limited period and after that it will not be able to answer your questions.
Sal Khan, the founder of the famous Zamana Khan Academy, released his video in which he can be seen helping his son solve math questions with the help of this technology. In another video, he can be seen playing the role of a referee between two players and can be seen starting, losing and announcing the winner just like any other human being.
If you want to invest in the stock market but the complex terms and transactions of the market are beyond your understanding, it can provide you with a market analysis in very simple language that any economist can analyze. It will be quite easy.
‘Open AI’ caused a stir in the world of artificial intelligence by launching its product in the market and immediately after that Google and its leadership started to be criticized and it started to be understood that Google is leading the race of artificial intelligence. I am far behind. For a long time, Google’s Indian-origin CEO Sundar Pichai and his leadership have been criticized and blamed for lagging behind in the race for modern technology. But just a day later, Google announced its project during its annual conference ‘Google IO’.
In February 2024, OpenAI announced its video creation tool ‘Sura AI’ and released a few videos created with it, and it was considered a revolution in the world of artificial intelligence. Since then, there was pressure on Google to announce such a project. Sundar Pichai was asked the same question during an interview with Bloomberg at the Google headquarters two days before ‘Google IO’, to which he said that since Google’s products have more influence, as a result, you have to be careful. It has to be.
During ‘Google IO’ on May 14, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai and his team gave an hour-long presentation on ‘Gemini’ updates, Project Astra, AI overview, questions via video. And told about Imagine 3. Google announced a video generator tool ‘View’ to compete with OpenAI’s Sora AI, which can generate high-quality videos up to 1080p with the help of text, images or video prompts. In addition, further improvements to Image 3, a tool for generating images, were also announced.
Gemini and Project Astra
This time, during the Google conference, the eyes of the whole world were on what product Google will bring against ‘Open AI’. OpenAI’s announcement of its product launch just a day ago was also seen as a challenge to Google.
Google’s Project Astra has most of the same features and capabilities as GPT4O. It can also help you to listen, see and find things. ‘Gemini’, formerly known as Google Bard, does not have a mobile application in countries like Pakistan, but can be accessed through the website. What makes it different from ChatGPT is that it is connected to the Internet, due to which it can also provide you with the latest information.
For nearly two decades, the world has been using Google Search and it’s a big reason for the company’s recognition, but now Google has announced improvements to that too.
The current practice is that you ask any question to Google and you get countless websites and you can go to any of them and read the article you want, but that will not be the case from now on. With the help of Google’s ‘AI Overview’, Google will gather data from different websites to provide you with a summary of the answer to your question. Apart from this, you will now have the option to search by video, which is another revolutionary step.
Many experts liken the invention of artificial intelligence and its current evolution to the invention of fire. This is another decisive phase in human history. The invention of fire, the agricultural revolution, the founding of religions and empires, the scientific and industrial revolution, the invention of the Internet, and the advent of the smart phone all had decisive impacts on humans.
It has changed the way people live, interact, form relationships and the entire structure of societies. Previously, such an invention used to happen in thousands of years, but if we look at the last few decades, every two decades there is a revolutionary change that completely turns our lives upside down, and this is artificial intelligence. Going to do and doing.
Technology companies are currently fighting for survival. Those left behind, like Kodak, will become a part of history. That’s why ‘Apple’ is making deals with ‘Open AI’ to keep itself in this competition. It is not only a battle for survival for these companies, the situation is no different for us. In the next two years, the job market will completely change and survival will be difficult for those who follow the traditional way.
According to the IMF, 40% of jobs could be completely eliminated due to artificial intelligence. According to a report by global investment firm ‘Goldman Sachs’, around 300 million jobs could be lost due to AI. According to data from the World Economic Forum, artificial intelligence will eliminate 8.5 million jobs by 2025, while 65% of retail sector jobs may be lost in the same year. It is time to align yourself with ‘AI skills’ and play a positive role in the development of the country and nation. Otherwise, our stories will not be among the stories.
