2024年,谁最有可能借着人工智能的东风再度崛起?很可能是标致汽车。
欧洲汽车巨头Stellantis集团近日宣布,从本周三开始,部分新款标致车型将搭戴ChatGPT语音控制模块。这项新功能将首先在法国、英国、德国、意大利和西班牙这五个欧洲国家进行试点,然后在今年晚些时候再向全球推广。
ChatGPT是OpenAI公司于2022年11月发布的一款人工智能应用,它一经发布,就在全球掀起了一场人工智能热潮。现在OpenAI越来越喜欢将自己定义成一家B2B公司。而在汽车行业也有不少厂商对ChatGPT很感兴趣——假如你的汽车不光能听懂你的指令,还能有来有回地跟你对话,是不是很有《霹雳游侠》的感觉?(在上世纪80年代的热播破案剧《霹雳游侠》里,大卫·哈塞尔霍夫饰演的主角就驾驶着一辆名叫KITT的会说话的车子。)
最近几年,可以说汽车已经变得越来越像一台长了四个轮子的电脑。原来的仪表盘的位置已经被一块大屏取代了,上面是密密麻麻的APP。曾几何时,一台车子如果还能打电话,就已经高端到不知哪里去了,但是现在,即便最经济实惠的买菜车也能接打视频电话。伊隆·马斯克就曾说过,他创办的特斯拉“既是一家硬件公司,也是一家软件公司,不论是从汽车还是从工厂的角度看。”(不过华尔街的投资者貌似仍觉得特斯拉归根结底还是一家汽车制造商。)
随着这些新技术的发展和软件功能的持续升级,汽车厂商或主动或被动地拥抱人工智能,也只不过是一个时间问题。
本月早些时候,还有其他几家大型汽车公司也表示将整合ChatGPT。早在去年6月,梅赛德斯奔就开始在美国生产的90万辆汽车上试用ChatGPT。如果你想加入内测,方法也很简单,只要在车里说一句:“你好奔驰,我想加入ChatGPT的内测项目”即可。
在整合ChatGPT上,德国大众是做得最为大胆的。大众集团表示,它希望ChatGPT不仅能替代一般的语音指令功能(比如打开收音机、调低空调温度等等),还应能够理解和回应人类的自然语言,比如如果车主说“我有点冷”,汽车就会自动激活座椅加热功能;如果车主说“下雨了”,汽车就会自动启动大灯。除了大众以外,所有汽车制造商也都强调,ChatGPT可以回答几乎任何话题的问题,与手机端和电脑端没有什么区别。而在今年1月初的消费电子展上,大众也表示,它旗下搭载了ChatGPT的车型可以进行“丰富的对话”。
OpenAI一直在积极探索如何针对特定用户开发专用版本。而随着它的ChatGPT和图像生成应用DALL-E在商界应用得越来越普遍,以及有越来越多的企业都想拥有独家定制版的ChatGPT,OpenAI也加大了对特定应用场景的开发力度。在去年11月份的OpenAI首个开发者日上,OpenAI发布了自家的工具和应用库GPT Store,它主要面向ChatGPT Plus的付费用户和企业客户。截至本月,GPT Store上已经拥有了300万个不同的定制聊天机器人。(财富中文网)

The AI bandwagon may very well be a Peugeot.
European auto giant Stellantis announced it will include ChatGPT in some new Peugeot models starting Wednesday. The new feature will be piloted in five European countries—France, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain—before becoming widespread later this year.
OpenAI, which launched the AI craze that swept the business world when it released ChatGPT in November 2022, has been increasingly pitching itself as a business-to-business company. It found eager and willing partners in the auto industry with manufacturers enticed by a car that not only understands voice commands but could potentially even answer back: a reality that recalls the hit 1980s television show Knight Rider, where David Hasselhoff’s character solved crimes in a talking car named KITT.
In the past several years, cars have become increasingly computerized. Where there were once dashboards, there are now touch screens filled with apps. Long gone are the days when a car phone was the pinnacle of wealth, now replaced by Zoom calls in even the most affordable of new cars. Elon Musk once memorably said Tesla, the electric vehicle company he founded, was “as much a software company as it is a hardware company, both in car and in factory.” (Although Wall Street investors seem to have concluded Tesla is a car manufacturer after all.)
With all these new technological features and software updates it was only a matter of time before car manufacturers turned to the latest advancement in the industry: artificial intelligence.
Earlier this month, several other big car companies also announced ChatGPT integrations. In June, Mercedes-Benz began a trial of ChatGPT in about 900,000 cars in the U.S. Even opting in to the trial was a showcase in the simplicity AI chatbots promise. To join the trial, all users had to do was say, “Hey Mercedes, I wanted to join the ChatGPT beta program,” when they were in their car.
Volkswagen is making one of the boldest moves among carmakers, incorporating ChatGPT across its lineup. The German auto manufacturer says it hopes ChatGPT will be able to do more than just the usual voice activated commands like turning on the radio or the AC when it’s hot. With ChatGPT, whose major innovation is the ability to understand and reply in natural language, those commands could become as simple as “I’m cold” to activate seat warmers or “It’s starting to rain” for headlights. All the carmakers but VW, in particular, have also highlighted that ChatGPT could answer questions about virtually any topic just as the online chatbot can. When it announced the new features at the Consumer Electronics Show in early January, VW went as far as to say its cars could have “enriching conversations.”
OpenAI has been keen to explore how it can develop versions of its technology meant for specific use cases. The push comes as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and image generator DALL-E become increasingly common in the business world and as companies look to tailor the tools to their specific use cases. At its first developer day in November, OpenAI released the GPT Store, a repository of different tools and applications of its software. The GPT Store is available for paid subscribers to ChatGPT Plus and enterprise customers. By this month the GPT store had some 3 million different custom chatbots.
