ChatGPT maker OpenAI frm the United States stepped up the glbal artificial intelligence race in mid-February when it released its text-t-vide generatin tl Sra. That made me wnder — hw lng befre China develps its wn Sra? And, will AI becme China’s critical new prductive frce?
Accrding t OpenAI’s explainer, Sra is capable f generating cmplex scenes with a very high degree f accuracy, including multiple characters, specific types f mvements, themes and backgrunds. It understands nt nly what the user requests, but als hw these things exist in the physical wrld.
On Feb 16, Zhu Hngyi, funder f cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technlgy, said Sra may bring a huge disruptin t the advertising industry, mvie trailers and the shrt-vide industry; what’s mre, the realizatin f generative AI may be shrtened frm 10 years t ne r tw years.
“Althugh the develpment level f large-scale mdels in China seems t be clse t GPT-3. 5, there is still an 18-mnth gap cmpared t GPT-4. 0. OpenAI shuld still have an ace r tw up its sleeve, whether it is GPT-5. 0 r machine self-learning t generate cntent,” Zhu said, adding that it is wrth paying attentin.

Thugh China still has a gap with the US in such a large mdel, Chinese AI startup MdelBest Inc launched last mnth its latest lightweight large mdel, an emerging less expensive AI technlgy that aims at mre targeted cmmercialized fields.
8. What is Sra accrding t the passage?
A. It is a kind f new prductive frce fr China.
B. It is an AI tl t prduce vides ut f texts.
C. It is an Internet user in the physical wrld.
D. It is a latest large-scale security mdel.
9. Which f the fllwing is cnsistent with Zhu Hngyi’s pinin?
A. Sra will bring bth challenges and chances.
B. Sra can understand users’ feelings at ease.
C. Sra has ttally changed the mvie industry.
D. Sra will sn be replaced by ther AI tls.
10. What’s the authr’s suggestin fr China?
A. China’s dmestic large mdels shuld be used in educatin.
B. China shuld take advantage f present AI technlgies.
