The Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US) predicts that "disruptive" AI products will soon emerge.

On Tuesday afternoon, Microsoft Corporation's Chief Technology Officer Kevin Scott hinted during an interview at a technology exchange conference hosted by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. that an important new artificial intelligence model or product will be unveiled by the end of the year. Although he could not provide specific details, he may have given some clues. He said, "Something is about to happen soon, and it will be very obvious to those looking for signs of progress. Look at the work done from GPT2 to GPT4. I just want to say that the work on GPT4 has not stopped." He then emphasized the importance of the relationship with OpenAI (the creators of Chat-GPT) for Microsoft Corporation, saying, "I think by any objective measure, OpenAI is one of the most important partners Microsoft Corporation has ever had, and Microsoft Corporation has some very good partners too." He added, "I don't think we are experiencing diminishing returns. We are making progress. If you infer that something disruptive is coming, that idea is not wrong." The rise of artificial intelligence is still in its early stages. Scott said, "I encourage people not to be blinded by hype, but artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly powerful. All of us working at the forefront can see that there is a lot of power and potential to be developed." While the AI revolution has similarities to previous technological breakthroughs (such as the advent of the internet and smartphones), Scott believes that this time is different, at least in terms of building. "All of this may be happening faster than we have seen in past revolutions," Scott said. Scott believes that the speed of data center construction for all parties using these centers is happening at an astonishing rate. "Things like this usually progress slowly, but not this time. Everyone in the ecosystem is moving forward at an unprecedented speed." Furthermore, he mentioned, "So far, the demand for infrastructure far exceeds our supply capacity, even though we are building at an unprecedented speed."
