Recent Trends in the Development of Generative AI Lee Sang Eun, Kim Ye Jin, Koo Min Young |
As of the beginning of the second semester in 2023, about two months have passed, and during this time, generative AI has significantly progressed. Through media channels, we have been able to receive updates on the latest developments in AI and its educational applications. The Educational Development Center aims to explore the trends in the educational use of rapidly advancing AI and its applications. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the new technologies applied by generative AI at this moment, the strengths of each generative AI, and any points of caution. Focusing on the leading figures in generative AI, such as ChatGPT in the United States and CLOVA X in South Korea, we present an overview of the technological trends.
1. ChatGPT Plus
ChatGPT Plus is a subscription service that entails paying for ChatGPT usage. It provides access to ChatGPT-4, offering higher-quality conversations, consistency, longer response lengths, faster response times, priority access to new features and improvements, and availability across multiple platforms. Below, we introduce some of the new technologies prioritized in ChatGPT Plus.
First, it processes both images and text simultaneously. It analyzes images and text provided by the user concurrently, offering detailed descriptions of images or grasping images related to the provided text. For instance, if a user inputs a picture and prompts, "Describe this picture," ChatGPT thoroughly analyzes the image and provides rich descriptions. It can analyze food photos to identify ingredients, interpret facial expressions in portrait photos, and even interpret art pieces by providing information on the style, era, materials, and explanations when users input images of artwork.
Second, it involves coding and logical calculations. ChatGPT Plus can code in the desired programming language based on provided software flowchart images. It is capable of recognizing not only precise shapes but also hand-sketched flowcharts, assisting users, particularly university students, in programming and coding with the help of ChatGPT. This technology is expected to be highly beneficial in educational contexts, as it can also perform logical calculations. If an image requiring calculation is provided, ChatGPT can solve the problem. This has the potential for significant educational impact, especially in scenarios where mathematical calculations are needed, as users can simply attach an image containing the equation, and ChatGPT will handle the calculations.
Third, in smartphone apps, a voice chat feature utilizing the microphone allows users to easily obtain desired results. In addition to the listening function, a speaking function has been added, enabling real-time voice conversations with ChatGPT. This distinguishes it from other voice assistants like Apple's Siri or Amazon's Alexa by leveraging a Large Language Model to generate content in real-time. When users pose questions verbally, ChatGPT converts them into text, sends them to the Large Language Model, and returns the text response, which is then transformed back into human speech. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT offers five voices, namely 'Jupiter,' 'Breeze,' 'Amber,' 'Sky,' and 'Cove.' Thus, ChatGPT is advancing communication with users more conveniently through the application of multi-modal technology.
2. CLOVA X
Clova X is a generative AI released by Naver, built on HyperCLOVA X technology. HyperCLOVA X utilizes a supercomputer with a performance of 700 petaflops (PF), capable of 70 quadrillion floating-point operations per second. It is a massively scaled language model developed by Naver with 2.4 billion parameters. The number of parameters in HyperCLOVA X exceeds that of GPT-3.5, embedded in ChatGPT, which has 1.75 billion parameters. Additionally, HyperCLOVA X is enriched with a vast amount of Korean language data, having been trained on 50 years of news and 9 years of blog data, making it 6,500 times more adept in Korean than ChatGPT. This specialization in Korean is considered a strength compared to other generative AIs. Beyond answering questions, Clova X offers users the ability to engage in mock interviews, compare the pros and cons of products, and engage in everyday conversations. Clova X introduces three useful features through its homepage.
First, there is the 'Skill' feature. 'Skill' complements the limitations of the language model's generative ability, providing a more convenient service experience for tasks such as exploring the latest professional information, making place reservations, and purchasing products. Currently, available skills include 'Naver Shopping,' 'Naver Travel,' and 'Car Recommendation.' Naver Shopping recommends products tailored to the user's intent, while Naver Travel suggests travel destinations and accommodations. Additionally, Clova X integrates with Socar, recommending cars available for rent based on Socar's valid data. Using the Skill feature is straightforward: activate the skill in Clova X, select the desired skill, and enter the requirements.
Secondly, Clova X introduces the useful feature of 'Discovery.' 'Discovery' is a function for saving conversations that users want to remember. To use it, simply press the 'Save' button in the lower right corner of the conversation screen, allowing users to save up to 50 conversations. Clova X plans to provide summarization, analysis, and even draft creation based on the content stored in 'Discovery' in the future.
Lastly, the useful feature is 'Connector,' which allows Clova X to engage in conversations by connecting the content of large language model and user-uploaded document files. Through the 'Connector' feature, users can quickly summarize complex documents such as papers and reports, facilitating tasks like writing critiques based on documents. However, this feature currently has the drawback of suboptimal response quality, and when the 'Document Utilization Dialogue' skill is active, other skills cannot be used. Like other generative AIs, asking specific questions is crucial to obtaining optimal responses from Clova X. If the response is unsatisfactory, asking follow-up questions or pointing out deficiencies in the response may lead to better answers. Additionally, Clova X features a 'multi-turn' function, where questions and answers are connected in succession, providing significant assistance in tasks such as interviews and self-introduction letters. As a competitor aiming to challenge ChatGPT, Clova X demonstrates a capability to deliver more accurate and detailed information about Korean culture, including local slang and guidance on Korean places, compared to ChatGPT. It also shows a higher understanding of historical facts and legal amendments in Korea. However, in the fields of mathematics and science, ChatGPT outperforms Clova X in providing more advanced responses. In the domain of creative writing, such as poetry, ChatGPT showcases superior creative abilities with relatively richer vocabulary.its interactive and evolving nature. Users are urged to verify the accuracy of Clova X's responses and ensure that information causing discrimination or hatred towards minorities is not present.
3. Adapting to the Development of Generative AI
As AI rapidly advances, nations worldwide recognized its potential risks, leading to the inaugural AI Safety Summit held at Bletchley Park, United Kingdom, on November 1st and 2nd. Representatives from 28 countries, including the United States, China, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and the European Union, gathered to announce the 'Bletchley Declaration,' emphasizing the need for global collaboration in acknowledging the dangers of highly advanced AI and formulating responsive policies. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has also issued warnings about the catastrophic consequences of AI, stating that mitigating the risks posed by AI should be a global priority. He underscored the necessity of AI technology control, even mentioning the potential threat of human extinction. Consequently, OpenAI disclosed the establishment of its own preparedness team on the 27th, tasked with tracking, evaluating, and predicting severe risks posed by advanced AI models and aiming to protect people. The team is particularly poised to address threats related to the use of AI in weapons, such as nuclear weapons, and the concept of AI autonomously replicating or 'self-replication.'
In South Korea, there is a growing recognition of issues arising from AI, including copyright and human rights infringement and the spread of misinformation. Naver, a major tech company, has articulated ethical guidelines for AI utilization through the 'Guide for Using CLOVA X for People.' Naver's AI ethical guidelines for CLOVA X usage encompass principles such as "1. AI development for people, 2. Respect for diversity, 3. Harmonizing reasonable explanations and convenience, 4. Service design considering safety, and 5. Privacy protection and information security." Additionally, Naver encourages Clova X users to review responses generated by generative AI, given its interactive and evolving nature. Users are urged to verify the accuracy of Clova X's responses and ensure that information causing discrimination or hatred towards minorities is not present.
