Big changes on the horizon: Artificial intelligence and its impact on technology, science and economics
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key drivers of global development that can bring huge changes to various areas of life. According to Jarunpat Bunyang, the developer of the first Thai chatbot, Alisa Ai, Jarunpat Bunyang, we are on the cusp of an AI era that will bring about change that will surpass the speed and scope of the 18th century industrial revolution.
Inequality of access and the need to develop generative artificial intelligence in different languages
Access to AI technologies varies across countries and societies. Research shows that the majority of AI-related resources and developments are based in English, which leaves many other languages and their speakers at a disadvantage. The Thai chatbot Alisa Ai was designed with this issue in mind and provides native language communication for Thai users.
Alisa Ai has its own features, different from the world's first AI chatbot "ChatGPT". In contrast, Alisa is designed specifically to support Thai language users and is available through the popular Line app that most Thais are targeting.
Alice Ai: Thai chatbot and its functionalities for communication and user support
Alisa Ai, being specially designed to support the Thai language, has a number of unique features. The chatbot interacts with users by providing answers to questions, helping with ideas, programming, creating articles, advertising, news, reports, and video scripts. In addition, Alisa is able to create images based on messages in Thai and English.
However, Alice's most interesting new feature is the "Goals Feature" ("/Goal"), which allows the user to set their own goals and receive advice and support to achieve them. This is an additional feature unique to Alisa that can greatly help users.
The development team is also working on a new feature called "Chatfile" that will allow users to upload files when chatting with Alisa. This opens up opportunities for teaching, updating textbooks and even discussing texts up to 100 pages long in Thai.
In the future, the developers plan to add even more features to support both individual users and businesses. They strive to ensure that all people can safely use modern technology as soon as possible.
The future of artificial intelligence promises revolutionary changes. When AI can fully understand and process human language, we can expect significant breakthroughs in technology and science. Especially with the introduction of quantum computers, which in the future will reduce the time for testing new materials and drugs. Thai developers also have significant potential to create new technologies, including artificial intelligence.
Using artificial intelligence for social progress
Artificial intelligence is not only changing the technological and economic spheres, but it can also have a significant impact on social progress. With the power of AI in processing large amounts of data and analyzing information, it can help solve social problems such as poverty, inequality, health and the environment. For example, AI can be used to develop better resource management systems, optimize social programs, and provide accurate forecasts for strategic decision making.
Ethical issues and regulation in the field of artificial intelligence
Along with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, there are also important ethical questions related to its use. Issues of data privacy, security, fairness and responsibility are becoming more and more relevant. Appropriate ethical standards and legislation need to be developed to ensure the safe and fair use of AI. In addition, it is important to ensure that the AI algorithms are transparent and understandable so that users can understand and control the decisions made by the system.
Artificial intelligence is already playing a significant role in global development today, and we are on the verge of an era that will bring huge changes to society. However, active work needs to be done to overcome the disparity in access to AI, especially among those who use languages other than English. The development of generative artificial intelligence in different languages such as Thai is an important step in this direction.
To bring the potential of artificial intelligence to life and ensure its benefits for all, cooperation between developers, government agencies, public organizations and society as a whole is necessary. Only in this way can we meet the challenges we face and build a more just and prosperous future based on the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
