now offering MaaS (model as a service) on its cloud

Looks like their tool is still mostly being used by businesses to lower costs and improve productivity at the moment
在电商领域,直播带货是商家的核心场景,但直播团队往往成本高昂。而接入文心一言后,只需把商品基本信息输入给文心一言,就可以自动生成不同风格的营销文案,再一键开启数字人直播,便可以帮商家实现 7*24 小时的不间断直播带货
for example, Erniebot has allowed 24/7 uninterrupted broadcast of product advertising. Allows just content creation 24/7

百度智能云 AI 应用产品部总经理刘倩表示,在申请文心一言内测的企业中,文案创作、智能对话、办公提效三大领域为高频需求场景。对此,百度智能云的六大智能产品系列,将率先基于文心一言全面升级,未来将在安全评估完成后上线。
used for intelligent dialog, copywriting & office efficiency improvements when used internally

百度智能云“智能客服”将基于文心一言升级应答辅助、会话小结、智能工单等功能,并将提供更聪明、更拟人的机器客服。刘倩表示,根据测算,文心一言可将智能客服的知识生产效率提升 9 倍,多轮对话构建成本下降 65%,终端用户能明显感觉到更像真人客服。
one interesting application is call center it seems like. This makes customer feel like they are talking to real person on other end

I'm actually not so sure about how much it is scaring chinese doctors though.

Since it's likely it can take off a lot of work pressure and boring repetitive jobs (document filing, help desk etc.), and at the same time, I don't think it's that likely that they will reduce number of employed doctors (likely got quotas etc.) and aren't they still missing doctors, nurses etc?

No neural network will be replacing doctors, you are correct. NNs are uninterpretable black box models and this is a deal breaker for medicine, they will be used as a supplement for doctors to help with routine work, provide a "third opinion", or analyse data like CT scans.

I would rather they be used to prevent garbage doctors from ruining people's lives. If the doctor makes a diagnosis that its different than the AI's diagnosis, it should be flagged for review from another doctor.

God knows how many garbage "here take your painkiller, everything is fine" doctors I have seen in my life. AI is more than welcome to sort them out

Yeah, there's a certain segment of doctors these days that don't really do anything more than just prescribe antibiotics or painkillers and calling it a day. Being one of those people whose lives were ruined by such a doctor (my mother had a lump on her chest that kept being misdiagnosed as an infection when it was actually cancer, leading to her death five years later), having AI act as another layer for diagnosis will hopefully cut down on such incidents.

The Register
Tencent Cloud has announced it's offering a digital human production platform – essentially Deepfakes-as-a-Service (DFaaS).
According to
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, the service needs just three minutes of live-action video and 100 spoken sentences – and a $145 fee – to create a high-definition digital human.
Gestating the creation requires just 24 hours.
The digital characters are available in half bodies or full bodies, and the service is available in both Chinese and English.
Some aspects, like background and tone, are customizable. The videos avoid the flat intonation and single speech rhythm that plagues traditional acoustic models by using an in-house small-sample timbre customization technology that relies on deep learning acoustic models and neural network vocoders.
Chen Lei, general manager of Tencent Cloud Intelligent Digital Human Products, said the web colossus hopes to build an automated "AI+ Digital Intelligent Human Factory" and rely on a self-service one-stop platform for production, sales and service.
The planned digital human factory relies on the Tencent Cloud TI platform – a machine learning platform that offers more than ten AI algorithms.
Tencent offers five styles for its digital humans: 3D realistic, 3D semi-realistic, 3D cartoon, 2D real person, and 2D cartoon. Customized Q&As can be created for the digital human, turning them into a type of deepfaked chatbot.
Tencent seems keenest on using these creations to host live-streamed infomercials – a popular form of e-commerce in China.
Local media also reported Tencent can create doctors, lawyers and other professionals.

Southeastern China’s Fujian Province launches AI computing center with computing power of 400P

Southeastern China’s Fujian Province unveiled Fujian Artificial Intelligence Computing Center and Fujian Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Innovation Center at the Digital China Summit held in its capital city Fuzhou on April 26, according to Fujian Daily.

The center’s total computing power is expected to reach 400P, and the first phase will supply 105P, making it the first large-scale AI computing power cluster in southeastern China, reported Fujian Daily.

Located in Fuzhou’s Binhai New Town, the center was constructed by state-owned Fuzhou Electronics & Information Group. It will provide AI infrastructure to support the development of the AI ecosystem, accelerating the integration of AI with local industries.

The center has currently reached cooperation intentions with Fujian’s 170 companies and scientific research institutions, and signed computing power service agreements with 35 universities and enterprises. They include Xiamen University, Fuzhou University, Imperial Vision (帝视科技), Newland AIDC (新大陆), and Linewell (南威). The computing power demand hits up to 101.2P..
