ChatGPT has huge potential for driving up operators' revenues if approached in the right way.
By Zhang Ming, Market Insight Experience Dept, Huawei Carrier BG
GPT-3 is a natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a fine-tuned version of GPT-3, boasting 175 billion parameters and a training set of more than 10 trillion words. Within just a week of becoming available for public testing, the new chatbot passed one million registered users. But is ChatGPT really just a chatbot? It is my view that ChatGPT utilizes original insights to satisfy deep-seated needs for answers and companionship. It does not require extraordinarily strong networks, but it does bring significantly increased uplink traffic for operators, creating 13.5 GB in dataflow of usage (DOU) per month, which is comparable to YouTube. ChatGPT's incredible hunger for data means a huge demand for computing and networks, and it may be the next killer app that we have been looking for.
ChatGPT is an NLP-based chatbot that, in the short term, is likely to replace Google as part of the next generation of search technologies. By leveraging AI video recognition (already a mature technology), ChatGPT is able to quickly understand individual users and serve as a personal AI assistant, which will help widen operators' uplink data pipes. In the future, when multi-modal AI applications evolve from image to video, ChatGPT will be used to quickly produce videos. This will mean a further explosion in the data traffic going through pipes.
