How our life would change if we had massive free access to artificial intelligence tools, i.e. chatbots
Vinegar is sweet when it's free, says the popular saying. What can you say if someone offers you good wine for free. Something similar echoed at the end of May in the global IT community - the news appeared that all residents of the United Arab Emirates will have free access to the best version of ChatGPT, which is usually paid for at $20 per month. The news was reported by local portals, but it did not appear in major world media because there was no official confirmation. Later it turned out that there will be no confirmation because the news is not (completely) true. But a significant goal was achieved, drawing attention to the UAE's big plans for the development of artificial intelligence.
Let's continue with the proverbs, with the one that where there is smoke there must be some fire. Here, the smoke about the free chatbot was sparked by a previous fiery deal by the Emirates government with the company OpenAI to build Stargate, the world's largest artificial intelligence infrastructure. That center should be built in Abu Dhabi, one of the emirates, and in addition to OpenAI and the UAE government, NVidia, SoftBank, Oracle, Cisco and the G42 company that develops AI in the emirates are involved in the project. The plan is to launch a 2026 megawatt power center in 200, which will house one hundred thousand of Nvidia's fastest graphics processors.
The Emirate government has taken care to remove all legal obstacles to the import of the necessary technology, and the entire investment is estimated at 500 billion dollars. Simple math says that for ten million residents of the Emirates, access to a chatbot at full price would cost about two and a half billion dollars a year, which, one would say, is a grain of sand in the desert compared to the aforementioned investment in Stargate. Hence the speculation that access could be free for all.
The ambition of the Emirates is to become the world's leading center for the development of artificial intelligence by creating an infrastructure that no one has, and then enabling the development of services that would then be exported elsewhere in the world. If they succeed in this intention, they will not have to worry about the future after oil, and will become the most desirable destination for all those who deal with artificial intelligence.
But, more interesting in this story is how our life would change if we really had mass free access to VI tools, namely chat bots. Artificial intelligence would be most widely used in education, healthcare and administrative work. In education for learning foreign languages and programming, and the courses would be tailored to the user. In health care to draw attention to preventive examinations and leading a healthy life, to reduce stress and mental problems through chat bot conversations. Administrative tasks would be extremely simplified for the user, we would communicate the needs to the chat bot, and it would then make an agreement with the administrative system. Also, the chat bot would inform us about all the administration's plans that could concern us, let's say it would point us to a public discussion about whether something will be built and demolished in our vicinity.
Chatbots would be an indispensable tool for writing business emails, bookkeeping and making business and financial decisions. They would design social media campaigns, create and broadcast posts, and interact with interested clients.
Of course, all that is possible now, but to be completely useful, it would have to be massed. The fastest and easiest would be if it is free, it is very likely that in the near future artificial intelligence will be available to everyone like Google maps. What we should be asking ourselves is how much that lunch will end up costing us.
