AI can be your intelligent friend

On March 28th, Mr. Zonder Chang (張宗德) from the Center for English Language Teaching at Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages shared knowledge about AI at Zhishan Hall, 13th floor of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages. Mr. Chang compiled various practical AI tools to aid educators in utilizing AI websites or programs for teaching English language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Through AI technology, students' pronunciation and writing weaknesses can be continuously improved. Moreover, these tools enable students to enhance their training independently after class. Mr. Chang highlighted the three stages of AI development, categorized as "Narrow AI (ANI)," " General AI  (AGI)," and " Superintelligent AI (ASI)." Currently, ChatGPT operates at the AGI level, with capabilities similar to humans. However, upon reaching ASI, AI may possess the ability to update its own programming to enhance its capabilities autonomously.

Mr. Chang brought up the concept of the Large Language Model (LLM), highlighting its role as a tool for enabling computers to comprehend and employ human language. The essence of LLM lies in the "deep learning" technology, where during the training process, it can extract features from vast amounts of data and gradually learn to establish knowledge. LLM can become an intelligent friend capable of answering questions and writing articles, analyzing data, and even assisting with programming. In educational settings, LLM serves as a valuable writing assistant, aiding teachers or students who need to write reports or articles by generating content and even checking grammar and spelling.

When Mr. Chang demonstrated how to operate the tools, it became clear that AI has progressed to the point where it can simulate facial images and sounds with remarkable accuracy. However, he also raised ethical concerns, including the risk of students becoming overly reliant on AI and losing their ability to think critically. He emphasized the importance of verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of information obtained and making necessary adjustments. In conclusion, the Large Language Model represents a powerful and multifunctional tool that is reshaping human-machine interactions. With the ongoing evolution of this technology, we can anticipate a more intelligent and convenient future.
