How often does your Siri or Alexa apologise to you? While consciousness in robots is only prevalent in science fiction, scientists believe constant development in machine learning will make it a dream come true.
Tech billionaire Satya Nadella's recent conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) software proves the future ahead looks bright.
Tech billionaire Satya Nadella's recent conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) software proves the future ahead looks bright.
During his four-day India visit, the Microsoft Executive Chairman and CEO had an interesting interaction with an AI at the Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old tech boss introduced the city crowd to some light-hearted conversations he had with ChatGPT, popular AI-enabled software developed by OpenAI, a company backed by Microsoft.
When he asked ChatGPT to rank the most popular South Indian tiffin options. It replied with the usual suspects such as idli, dosa, vada, uttapam and Pongal. The list also included India's favourite dish - biryani.
Even though Nadella loves biryani, he immediately prompted the chat robot - "I don't think so" - with its flawed option
The tech billionaire said that the software apologised. Then, he politely said, "The last time I checked, it (biryani) was not a South India tiffin. As a Hyderabadi, you (ChatGPT) cannot insult my intelligence by saying biryani is a tiffin."
Nadella didn't stop there. He asked ChatGPT to create a play between idli and dosa where the two dishes argue about who was a better tiffin option. To add literature to the batter, the 'Hit Refresh' author even prompted the software to turn it into a Shakespearean play. "It brought out the best of Shakespeare in South Indian tiffin-genre," he added.
At the event, Nadella also gave a presentation about the cutting-edge AI and cloud innovations that are taking place in India. During his India tour, Nadella thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and lauded the government’s Digital India push.
In 2019, Microsoft invested in OpenAI with a funding of $1 billion. The two also formed a multi-year partnership to develop artificial intelligence supercomputing technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service.
