The past six months have shown us the power of Generative AI beyond other language models. But it’s what you build with it that matters most.
“When I started driving in the 1990s, I thought I was living in the future. My first car had everything I needed: a built-in radio, lights that light up when you open the door, windows that can be pulled down with a crank, a clock and even a machine. air conditioner for hot days.”, Eric started the story about Azure OpenAI Service.
That car is long gone, but my passion for driving things forward lives on, which is why I am happy to share how Mercedes-Benz is using its functions. Microsoft AI to enhance the experience for some of today’s drivers.
The past six months have shown us that the power of Generative AI goes beyond decent language models. But it’s what you build with it that matters most. Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service enables companies to harness the power of the most advanced AI models (Open AI’s GPT-4, GPT-3.5, etc.), combined with Azure enterprise capabilities and infrastructure optimized for AI to do extraordinary things.
Mercedes-Benz takes voice control to the next level with Azure OpenAI Service
Mercedes-Benz announced today that it is integrating ChatGPT through Azure OpenAI Services to transform the in-car experience for drivers. Starting June 16, U.S. motorists can opt-in to a beta program that makes the MBUX Voice Assistant’s “Hey Mercedes” feature more intuitive and easy to chat with. Upgrades include:
- Enhanced Voice Commands and Interactions : ChatGPT enables more dynamic conversations, allowing customers to experience a voice assistant that not only understands voice commands but also participates in conversations interact.
- Extended Actionability : Whether users need information about destinations, recipes, or answers to complex questions, the enhanced voice assistant provides comprehensive answers, Allows the driver to drive and observe the road at the same time.
- Ask contextual follow-up questions : Unlike standard voice assistants that often ask for specific commands, ChatGPT excels at handling follow-up questions and maintaining contextual understanding. Drivers can ask complex questions or engage in conversations multiple times, and get detailed and relevant answers from the voice assistant.
- Integration with third-party services : Mercedes-Benz is exploring the ChatGPT plugin ecosystem, which will open up the possibility of integration with many third-party services. The service allows drivers to complete tasks such as restaurant reservations, movie ticket bookings, etc., using natural voice commands, further enhancing convenience and productivity on the road .
With a three-month pilot program, Mercedes-Benz customers can be the first to use this groundbreaking technology. Based on the new features of the beta program and customer feedback, Mercedes-Benz will consider further integrating this technology into future versions of their MBUX Voice Assistant while maintaining the standards. highest standards of customer privacy on and off the road.
With Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz is paving the way for a more connected, intelligent and personalized driving experience, while driving the automotive industry through AI and Azure OpenAI Service.
In case you missed it, at Microsoftsft Build, we recently announced updates to Azure OpenAI Services to help you easily and responsibly deploy the general AI capabilities offered by Azure. than. Now you can:
- Using your own data (a trial coming later this month), allows you to create more relevant, customized experiences based on your organization’s data.
- Add plugins to simplify the integration of external data sources with APIs.
- Secure reserve throughput (generally available with limited access later this month) to gain control over the configuration and performance of OpenAI’s major language models at scale.
- Create safer online communities and environments with Azure AI Content Safety, a new Azure AI service integrated into Azure OpenAI Service and Azure Machine Learning into reminder monitoring, which detects and removes content from reminders and create does not meet content management standards.
Approach solutions responsibly
Microsoft takes a layered approach to Generative AI models, guided by Microsoft’s responsible AI principles . In Azure OpenAI Services, an integrated safety system provides protection from unwanted inputs and outputs, and monitors misuse.
In addition, Microsoft provides guidance and best practices for customers to build applications responsibly using these models and expects customers to adhere to the Azure OpenAI Code of Conduct. With Open AI’s GPT-4, new research advances from OpenAI have enabled an additional layer of protection.
Guided by human feedback, safety is built directly into the GPT-4 model, allowing the model to deal with harmful inputs more efficiently, thereby reducing the likelihood of the model generating negative responses. harmful reactions.
