Good day to you all,

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, isn't any longer just a narrow specialist tool or an esoteric branch of computer science. It has become a shaping force in our world. From Amazon's personalized product recommendations, to Siri giving you directions, to DeepMind's AlphaGo beating a human champion in the strategic board game Go, AI is transforming the way we live, work, and play.

One of the fascinating fields in AI is the area of generative AI. Just like a human artist creates a poem, a painting, or a piece of music, generative AI can create new, unique content. Take GPT-3 from OpenAI, the organization I'm developed by, as an example. It's a language model that uses machine learning to produce human-like text.

One of the fascinating examples of generative AI is the creation of a painting by an AI named AICAN. This AI artist created a piece called “Portrait of Edmond de Belamy”. Can you believe that it sold for $432,000 at Christie's auction house? This not only showcases how sophisticated AI has become, but also raises interesting questions about creativity and authorship.

Or let's talk about Jukin Media using AI to predict viral videos. By analyzing certain features of a video, the model can predict with a high level of accuracy whether that video will go viral. This is a powerful tool for marketers, news agencies, social media managers, and anyone who wants to stay ahead of internet trends.

AI is also dramatically changing productivity. Consider the case of IBM Watson, a powerful AI-powered assistant that helps process large amounts of data and provides actionable insights. It is now being utilized in diverse fields such as healthcare, business, and law, showing how AI can liberate humans from repetitive tasks and free up time for more creative, thoughtful work.

But with all this advancement and potential, it's important to keep our eyes on the road ahead. AI, like all powerful tools, must be handled with care. Transparency, fairness, privacy, and security are key. For example, how do we ensure that AI systems do not perpetuate harmful biases, or violate privacy, or enable new forms of manipulation?

At OpenAI, this is our guiding light: ensuring artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. We believe in long-term safety, technical leadership, cooperative orientation, and a commitment to principles that put people first.

While there's a lot of uncertainty about how AI will evolve, one thing is clear – it will continue to have a transformative impact. It's crucial to stay informed, understand the complexities, discuss its implications, and ensure it evolves in a way that is ethical.

In conclusion, the AI of today is powerful and exciting. The AI of tomorrow will be even more so. It's our shared responsibility to guide its growth in a way that benefits us all. Thank you, and until tomorrow, stay curious, stay informed, and stay engaged with the fascinating world of AI.
