Ngokombiko we-Bloomberg wakusihlwa namuhla (mhla ziyi-19), u-Li Feifei, “uNina we-AI”, ukholelwa ukuthi abasebenzi bezobuchwepheshe, kuhlanganise naye, kusadingeka bachazele umphakathi kangcono ukuthi ubuhlakani bokwenziwa bungadalula liphi inani. Ubuye waxwayisa ngokuthi ukwanda kwemizwa ephikisana ne-AI emphakathini waseMelika kungase kubangele ubungozi emhlabeni wonke.
Ngesikhathi exoxwa, u-Li Feifei uthe: “Umthelela weMelika emhlabeni ubaluleke kakhulu. Uma singakwazi ukukhombisa isimo sengqondo esihle nge-AI, futhi singakwazi ukukhomba indlela yentuthuko enhle, ekugcineni wonke umuntu uzolahlekelwa.”
Ubuye wagcizelela ukuthi iMelika kufanele ibe “yisibonelo”, ikhombise umhlaba ukuthi i-AI ingadala “inani elikhulu kwezomnotho”.
Ngonyaka odlule, ukumelana nezikhungo zedatha ze-AI kwande kakhulu ezindaweni eziningi eMelika. Ingxabano igxile kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwamanzi namandla yilezi zikhungo. Ucwaningo lwe-Pew Research Center lubonisa ukuthi, njengoba i-AI iqhubeka nokungena empilweni yansuku zonke, ingxenye yabantu baseMelika ikhathazeke kakhulu ngalo mkhuba kunokuba ijabule ngawo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amazwe amaningi ase-Asia anombono omuhle kakhulu nge-AI.
U-Li Feifei ukholelwa ukuthi lesi simo sihlobene nokuthi kulezi zindawo i-AI inikwa ukubaluleka okukhulu kusukela emfundweni eyisisekelo. “Ngaphandle kokuba usosayensi, ngiphinde ngibe uthisha nesifundiswa, ngakho kwesinye isikhathi ngiyazibuza: esikhathini esedlule asizange sikhulume kahle nomphakathi.”
Ucwaningo luka-Li Feifei lwabeka isisekelo sempumelelo eminingi yesimanje kubuchwepheshe be-AI. Wabamba iqhaza ekusungulweni kwephrojekthi yezemfundo i-ImageNet, equkethe izithombe eziyizigidi eziningi futhi eyagqugquzela intuthuko enkulu ekhonweni lamakhompyutha lokubona izinto ezithombeni.
Kamuva, u-Li Feifei wasungula i-World Labs, egxile ekuthuthukiseni lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “amamodeli omhlaba”. Lezi zinhlobo zamamodeli e-AI zihloselwe ukuqonda umhlaba onezilinganiso ezintathu, nokuzulazula kuwo kanye nokwenza izinqumo ngokuzimela. NgoFebhuwari walo nyaka, i-World Labs yaqeda umzuliswano wokuxhaswa ngezimali ongu-10 billion dollars (Qaphela: ngezinga lokushintshisana lamanje, cishe okulingana nama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6.757). Ukholelwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukiswa yi-World Labs bungasetshenziswa emikhakheni eminingi esikhathini esizayo, kuhlanganise namarobhothi, ezempilo kanye nemfundo.
