2.CHATBOT TOOLS SPARK CONTROVERSY

访问需求激增，CHATBOT相关产品引发争议

Online search giant Baidu’s shares surged over 15 percent in Hong Kong after the company said it will launch an artificial intelligence chatbot service named "ERNIE Bot", which is being tested internally and likely to be released in March. The announcement comes after the popularity of ChatGPT has surged. Now Bei tells us more.

今日（02/07），港股百度集团强势拉升。截至收盘，股价报收162.5港元，大涨超15%，盘中涨幅一度超过18%。目前，资本市场看好百度即将推出的类似于ChatGPT的项目—— ERNIE Bot（中文名称：文心一言）。该项目已经在做最后的冲刺，预计将在下个月完成内测，面向公众开放。主持人爱新觉罗贝带来详细消息。

ChatGPT was developed by US-based Open AI and is a new AI chat-bot tool that can generate human-like text based on input. It has an estimated 100 million monthly active users since debuting on November 30th, making it the fastest growing internet application in history. It has caused a sensation for its ability to write essays, poems or program code on demand within seconds. Google said yesterday it will release a conversational chat-bot named Bard. Experts said developing a Chinese-language chat-bot service is complicated.

ChatGPT是由美国“开放人工智能研究中心”（Open AI）研发的一款聊天机器人程序，于去年11月30日上线，两个月后，其月度活跃用户数已达到了1亿，成为史上用户增长速度最快的消费级应用程序。ChatGPT的功能十分强大，可以在几秒钟内按照要求写出文章、诗歌或程序代码，引发众多关注。就在昨天（02/06），谷歌表示它将发布一个名为巴德的对话式聊天机器人。此外，我国专家表示，开发中文聊天机器人的过程将更为“复杂”。

“Chinese datastarted later than English, and the structure of Chinese is more difficult thanEnglish. Also, the volume of accumulated data in Chinese is less than that inEnglish. As a result, there will be a gap between Baidu’s Ernie Bot andChatGPT.”

“这是由于三方面的原因：第一是依托中文的智能聊天数据，本身就比英文的数据起步得晚；第二在于中文语言的数据解析要比英文更加复杂；第三点则是中文语言的数据积累量，要比英文数据的积累量少，因此从算法和数据这两个角度来说，百度将要推出的文心一言和ChatGPT还是有一定差距的。”

Some also raisedconcerns that ChatGPT may trigger problems like cheating or plagiarism. Citieslike New York and Los Angeles in the United States have already banned its usein classrooms and on school devices, as students can use it to do homework andother assignments. The US journalScienceannounced it had banned theuse of text from ChatGPT, andNaturebanned listing it as co-author.However, some professors said rather than ban the AI tool, they will teachstudents how to use it properly.

学者们担心ChatGPT的使用可能会引发作弊或剽窃等问题。在美国纽约和洛杉矶等城市，为了防止学生使用ChatGPT来完成作业，许多学校已经禁止学生在教室和学校设备上使用它。美国《科学》杂志宣布禁止使用ChatGPT的文本，而《自然》杂志则禁止将其列为共同作者。不过，也有一些教授表示，他们不会禁止学生使用这种人工智能工具，而是会引导学生学会如何正确地运用这一工具。

“It’s important that we, as academics, train our students to understand how to use these tools effectively in a critical way and to recognize their limitations.”

“作为学术研究者，我们应该训练学生们思辨地看待这类工具，学会如何恰当地运用它，并且认识到它们的优缺点。”

An EU industry commissioner said they may propose new AI rules, aiming to tackle concerns about the risks around ChatGPT and artificial intelligence.

一位欧盟专员表示，他们可能会设立新的人工智能规则，旨在解决目前针对ChatGPT和人工智能相关风险的担忧。

3.CHINESE, AUSTRALIAN COMMERCE MINISTERS DISCUSS IMPROVING TIES

中澳关系持续释放积极信号

China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and his Australian counterpart held a virtual meeting yesterday, exchanging views on how to address each other’s economic and trade concerns. It’s the first meeting between the two countries’ trade ministers since 2019, and Wang said they should work together to inject more positive energy into bilateral【双边的】 economic and trade cooperation.

昨日（02/06），中国商务部部长王文涛应约与澳大利亚贸易部长法瑞尔举行视频会谈。双方就落实两国领导人印尼巴厘岛会晤重要共识，妥善处理彼此重点经贸关切，规划发展中澳经贸下阶段关系等进行了专业、务实、坦诚的交流。这是自2019年以来两国贸易部长的首次会晤，王文涛说，他们应该共同努力推动中澳经贸关系重回正轨。

He reaffirmed that China is willing to restart its economic and trade exchange mechanism with Australia, while remaining highly concerned about Australia’s tightened security review of Chinese investments and operations. Wang told Australian trade minister Don Farrell that he hopes Australia will provide Chinese firms with a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment. Farrell noted the complementarity【互补性】 between Australia’s economy and China’s and reaffirmed that trade and investment are cornerstones of the bilateral relationship, as China is Australia’s largest trading partner and an important source of investment.

王文涛部长重申道，中方愿与澳方重启经贸交流机制，推动两国经贸关系高质量发展；同时，中方高度关注澳加严对中国企业赴澳投资经营的安全审查，希望澳方妥善处理相关个案，为中国企业提供公平、开放、非歧视的营商环境。法瑞尔表示，澳中经济高度互补，中国是澳最大的贸易伙伴，也是重要的投资来源国，贸易和投资是双边关系的重要基石。澳方愿与中方一道，通过坦诚对话增进互信、化解分歧，造福两国人民。
