01 💰 FUNDING 🚀 SPACE $6M 📈 TREND CONFIRMED

第一批「AI原生」本科生,要毕业了

一眨眼,第一批「AI原生」本科生, 最近就要毕业了! 2022年 入学的那批本科生,几乎在ChatGPT的全程陪伴下完成了大学学业。 就在这一时间点,OpenAI宣布了 「未来之星」 计划,点名表扬了 26个 大学期间高频使用ChatGPT的年轻人和团队。 全部是 二十岁左右 的年纪,全部都是AI加持的超级个体。 过去四年里,「AI到底该不该深度参与大学教育」这事儿大家吵得急头白脸,没有一个定论。 但就OpenAI这份名单来看,答案或许是—— 不必担心。 AI时代的大学生,正在交出一张张惊艳答卷: 让1亿多张星系图像变得可搜索 隔着废墟搜救灾害幸存者 保护濒危语言 绘制150万个此前未知太空物体的分布图 …… ChatGPT未来之星 OpenAI搞了个「AI之星严选」项目(ChatGPT Futures),专门表彰这一届「AI原生」学生里最令人意料之外的年轻人和团队。 在他们看来,观察AI走向最清晰的方式之一,就是看看下一代人今天正在怎么使用它。 这也是他们发起这个项目的原因——鼓励年轻人拥抱AI,同时通过这种形式向全世界展示,学生+AI的组合,到底能创造多少可能性。 今年是首届举行,每位入选者都会获得1万美元奖金,外加OpenAI最前沿技术的使用权限。 共26个团队,每个都有超链接,我把自己感兴趣的几个都点开仔细读了下。 说实话,一开始以为,就是找几个GPA高的学霸,搞点噱头。
