As existing machine-learning and artificial intelligence (AI) systems penetrate almost all aspects of social life, debates over the implications and the potential of their application are attracting more public interest than ever, in particular since the launch of ChatGPT, a chatbot created by OpenAI that uses natural language processing to simulate conversational interactions with users.
What is ChatGPT and how does it work? Why does ChatGPT matter and how can it be utilised in varying scenarios to assist clients with specific tasks? How will it impact industries and individuals?
The European Chamber is delighted to invite Dr Xu Mingqiang, chief technology officer (CTO) at Microsoft Omni-channel Division, Mr Eddy Yin, chief digital officer at SoftwareOne, and Mr Li Xun, senior engineer of Azure Technical Support at SoftwareOne, to share their insights on the above topics and elaborate on specific functions and application scenarios of Azure OpenAI services, as well as future possibilities of OpenAI.

关于ChatGPT的话题持续发酵，OpenAI发布的GPT-4再度引发全球科技界对于人工智能的关注和讨论。从初发布、到与微软Office合体、再到接入插件，每次亮相都引起关于AI的广泛讨论。

数字时代，产品的迭代升级速度不容忽视。以ChatGPT为核心功能的AI数字人应用场景迎来了新一轮的革新和升级，值此背景，企业也需要更深入的思考和体系化的布局。

中国欧盟商会特邀微软全渠道事业部首席技术官（CTO）徐明强博士、硕软首席数字官（CDO）Eddy Yin、硕软Azure技术支持高级工程师李珣深度解读Azure OpenAI服务的创新技术、功能、应用场景、行业解决方案，探索OpenAI未来发展趋势。

Tensions between the US and China have intensified to a worrying extent over the past few months. While the ongoing struggle to gain technological dominance is one reason, the relationship has been put under further strain due to developments related to Taiwan, the South China Sea, straying balloons, ideological and economic competition, and the relative positions taken by both countries following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With the future of US-China relations set to have fundamental implications for the rest of the world, business leaders have had to rethink their long-term strategies and even prepare worst-case scenarios.
