Alibaba revealed its response to ChatGPT last Tuesday, demonstrating new software it plans to roll out across all its platforms. The Chinese giant has unveiled Tongyi Qianwen, a new language model that will be incorporated into its Tmall Genie smart speakers and DingTalk workplace messaging platform. It has been trained on vast fields of data to generate compelling answers to user prompts.
The technology will initially be integrated into those two products and eventually added to all of Alibaba’s apps, from e-commerce to mapping services, according to the company.
Group CEO Daniel Zhang, who also oversees Alibaba’s cloud division, unveiled the new AI-powered service at a conference in Beijing, where the company demonstrated how it will allow users to transcribe meeting notes, craft business proposals and tell children’s stories.
The company opened up Tongyi Qianwen – which translates to “seek the truth by asking a thousand questions” – to corporate customers for testing before making it available to more users. “We are at a technological watershed moment, driven by generative AI and cloud computing”, disse Zhang.
Generative AIs are technologies that underpin platforms like ChatGPT. The service’s popularity has exploded in recent months, and Chinese tech companies are racing to launch their own versions, leading some critics to predict the trend will heighten the rivalry between the US and China in emerging technologies.
