JD.com Debts Founder’s AI Avatar

JD.com, a massive Chinese e-commerce site, is using artificial intelligence (AI) more heavily now that its chairman and founder Richard Liu Qiangdong’s avatar made its debut on Tuesday as the host of two live-streaming sessions.

South China Morning Post highlights that using JD.com’s ChatRhino large language model (LLM), Liu’s avatar was able to accurately mimic not just the founder of the company’s look, voice, and accent, but also his well-known hand gestures while speaking. ChatGPT and other generative AI services are trained using LLM technology.

AI Growth Engulfs All Companies Alike

JD.com is not alone in its AI venture. According to Fred Havemeyer, head of software and AI research at Macquarie, the adoption of generative AI software will start to gain popularity around 2024.  AI is expected to have an impact on over two-thirds of occupations in the future. An excellent example of this is Apple’s recent announcement that it will focus on AI products going forward.

The ambition of IT companies to profit financially from artificial intelligence services drove this move. Furthermore, Microsoft is enlisting significant players in the same business to expand its artificial intelligence technology portfolio. Additionally, to pursue employment in the future, people will need to possess the skills necessary in a variety of fields, as most firms interface with AI products.

Given that artificial intelligence is being used in an increasing number of jobs, it is anticipated to become a significant development aspect. The current growth of Nvidia is a prime illustration of the significance of artificial intelligence to numerous major players in the market. On $22.1 billion in revenue, Nvidia reported adjusted profits per share (EPS) of $5.16 for the quarter. Analysts predicted $20.4 billion in revenue and $4.60 in earnings per share.
