"AI outpost" Beijing time April 20 news, artificial intelligence (AI) is expensive, the data model behind it needs intensive development, with the help of complex and powerful computing to train it.

The good news is that the tools, resources, and raw computing power to build these data models are readily available to almost anyone, which has led to a recent explosion of AI tools, most notably OpenAI's chat robot ChatGPT. But some advocacy groups also point out that the bad news is that the boom will only boost the power and influence of a relatively small number of companies with the infrastructure and capacity to support these intensive AI applications. Almost every AI tool you can think of depends on cloud services, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, or some combination of the three.

In fact, this means that even AI startups, which compete with these tech giants, are contributing to the profits of the tech giants in a very real way. The more these startups use these major cloud platforms, the more fees they pay to their much larger competitors. This dynamic suggests that the rise of AI will only make large technology companies stronger and more entrenched in several industries, despite the culmination of concerns about their monopolistic behaviour.

Microsoft bans cloud customers from using Bing data to train AIAI Now Institute, a New York University-based research institute founded in 2017. It did not advise the Federal Trade Commission on technical issues until recently. Researchers at the institute say the prosperity of AI means it is time to take regulatory action now, otherwise it will not be necessary in the future.

Phoenix New Media Technology "AI Outpost" learned that AI Now released a report last week detailing the impact of large technology companies on the development of AI. The report found that AI's development "fundamentally depends" on resources controlled by large technology companies, including data and computing power. Many of the claims surrounding the development of AI have been shaped by large technology companies, from the fact that AI needs unrestricted innovation to benefit society, to linking AI development to social progress, the report said. AI Now believes that this statement is good for large companies and even affects the views of many policy makers on technology.

"if we want to make any meaningful reform in the technology industry, we need to start in the face of centralization of power," said Sarah Myers West, managing director of AI Now.

An important aspect of this dynamic is that tech giants are competing head-on with these start-ups and smaller companies. The difference is that they have access to resources and data that are not available to outsiders. West calls this concept "gatekeeper control".

For example, Microsoft reportedly warned its Azure cloud customers that they could not use data from Bing search engine to train their AI. But at the same time, Microsoft and its carefully selected AI partner, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, are internally using the same data to develop new products. Phoenix New Media science and technology "AI outpost" will continue to pay attention to this.
