can beijing rely on prevent demik partnerships and a mild winter may have come to your rescue as it vessels an energy crisis, but now that won't be welcomed continent. the result is, is due to be a business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. microsoft is in talks to invest $10000000000.00 in open a i, the creator of the artificial intelligence pop, but chat g p t, that's going to people familiar with the plan chat, g p t has received worldwide attention since it's launch less than 2 months ago. and gained its 1st 1000000 uses in less than a week. the bumps ability to gather information and imitate human conversation has led to speculation. a good one day replace professional writers and even threaten google's search engine if and i i, who's found as included a lot. musk makes its money by licensing out it's technology. let's

discuss the potential for open a i with yes, just the van seo of innovation platform. i 8 benches. it's great to have you on the program again. yes. yeah. let's talk about chat gp t just you type in just about any question. it seems well to answer it as well as a human can do. i mean, how revolutionary is this bit of technology e. i am not sleeping for the last mom. literally not sleeping and i'm a great lover of sleep. and it is because what we see now is the culmination of 10 years of extensive work, actually a global work that open the eye is been able to utilize to bringing something that is a demonstration of something that is a wonderful and frightening revolution. you're losing sleep over it. i what, what are the implications that, i mean, you're losing sleep over it

a. so of course it's a lecture of 2 hours, but in, in nutshell, firstborn this particular technology is one out of 10 different engines that we have out there. google, as a symbol inger met that has a similar injury. it cetera. it is an example of what you can do with them more than tours of a i, again, it has its issues, but it's a great example. plus we see the engineering a miracle of connecting this would be skin ability of the cloud. and then we see a, this is a, an emerging technology that will change many, many things. i want to emphasize that he's far beyond answering questions or doing chat. if he's an example of a neural network that is actually working. so we're in for a big set of surprises yet, of course the most immediate issue is the threat on replacing the sort of standard

google search thing where you get something and you get, you know, 20 you 30 different sites. and they are proposing something which is completely magical, just get the answer. so yeah, well actually that, that's one of the ways in which it was, you know, that there's been room is the mike stuff might be wanting to use this technology for themselves to turn to beef up that being search engine to compete with google me. why do you think microsoft sees the value in open? i microsoft is not willing, again to lose inexorable ocean. if you look the last 20 years, they are very good at losing revolutions the version of the internet. they lost that mo, by the loss, et cetera. you see in the met the 1st where with their investment of $79000000000.00 on a computer, they're not willing to lose. so this seems to be like this kind of a innovation. they can actually use this technology in many places. plus,

they have already bet on open ai because they've already invested the $1000000000.00 in open i on the boss, they have an exclusive right in or in the service now is being done over a sure that is microsoft cloud infrastructure. so there is a fight or operation. the one example search is again one example and could be a winning example, which of course will hurt. but i, yes, jessie van from i a venture can be fascinating to watch how this develops in the coming months and years. isn't it? thanks a lot. johnny is on the program. thanks very much. talk you soon. bye bye. now all through the acre in of ours pandemic, the message from china was that ideology, trunk economic considerations, as she, jim ping, shut the borders. now western businesses are hoping the sudden end of the 0 cove in 19 policy means a shift in the other direction. but relations are still frosty,

china's ambassador to berlin wu can, has condemned german plans to take a more sober look at relations with china and china's begun retaliating against south korea and japan. 2 of the countries which have imposed covered 19 curves on travellers from china. i to discuss this further, i am doing my resident china watch it. clifford coon and clifford general manager with china was always a vandal. do handle change 3 trade. is that out? the window now it seems that way. well i think what we're seeing is we're not really seeing enough handle yes, after this sudden turnaround on, on the 0 cobra policy and precious little bundle as well. there hasn't really been any change. i think what, what's the problem that germany is facing, but the whole, the western world is facing is how to deal with china right now. in germany, there's a lot of division that sees it in the government itself, which we know law. charles, who seems to be much more proactive in many ways on trade with china,

but at the same time has been politically a little bit more skeptical. whereas the green coalition partners have been very em, have been much more resistance to, to conceding too much grand to china. so i think basically, china is backing for russia as well in ukraine. war is still an issue. so politically, you have that background and, but also there's a lot of confusion at the moment she's got and we've had things this week like jack, mom was removed is head of and financial. you know, the company he founded which shows that, that ideology is still a big factor there. you know, so a lot of these are political concerns are still getting in the way of the economic development. and the re opening itself has been a source of tension between china and, and so it's trade partners. i mean, it's been insisting on a restriction free travel for chinese travels. but at the same time, it's imposing a test to test requirement on people arriving in china. and is that, is that characteristic of it is general approach that is willing to take more than it's willing to give? i think, i think it feeds into this,

this confused picture that we have right now, which has been caused by this sir. this seismic shift in reversing the coven policy . it's almost like china expects japan and south korea and other trading partners, the you to do exactly what it's done, you know, but at the same time, it is keeping these restrictions in play. so it's a is a bit of a win win situation, which means china winds twice. i think some, some commentators have said, and i mean, i think the 0 coven policy was lifted because of worries about the state of the economy. not because of the protests that we saw. so i think at the core of all this is fears about how to keep this economic growth going. let's talk about the state of the chinese economy. i was the economy. the growth is, is slowing. is that ever gonna return to what it was like before the panda? well, if you look at over the last few months, you know, we're talking about 5 and a half percent, maybe 5 percent this year. now we're talking about 3 percent. i think it's going to be, it's going to be quite a challenge. and the propaganda campaign has certainly begun and the product, the propaganda czars have been told to sing the song of the hell,

the chinese economy. which means is going to be very difficult to find out what's actually going on in the economy because there's definitely, there's going to be no bad news coming out of the chinese economy. so in terms of analyzing what's going on, it's going to be quite a challenge. but i think ultimately i think things are going to start to open up and we are going to see more of the handle that we're talking about earlier. the trade am and then the big question will be to see whether we get bundle at the end of a 2000 and our resident china watch. i keep watching china for us. thank you. i was take a look at some of the other global business stories that are making the news that in albeit has suffered a setback on its 1st mission to launch satellites into orbit from western europe. a modified jumbo jet carrying the rocket encountered a problem about 2 hours after takeoff from southwestern england and had to return rockets was supposed to take 9 small centre license war bits of mixed civil and defense use. coca cola and pepsi are under preliminary investigation in the u. s.

europe has had its advantages, its meant people needing the heat homes less and so help to alleviate the pressures on the continents energy supplies. however, it raises obvious questions about the true pace of climate change and poses problems for businesses to prefer to keep things cold. hardly any snow, and if there is it's artificial, this winter has been unseasonably warm in lace in switzerland. the skiers here are disappointed platforms. what's up, it's heartbreaking the sea i've been coming here since i was a little girl and to see the ski slope like this, the ski resorts staff are doing an amazing job, but it's heartbreaking to see such little snow goodness. i think the climate change is really scary, and i also nervous for the people who make their lives in the, in the winter mountains and the, you know, their livelihoods. i very much connected to tourism. and if there's no ski, there's probably not as much tourism. the local economy is deeply connected to

skiing, the restaurants and hotels, equipment rental and stores. every one is concerned, including the cable car operator all need. we'll do that. we've had a decrease in usage of around 35 to 40 percent compared to last year, which was a very good year. if we compare it to the last 5 years, we have a decrease of nearly 20 percent walked. event bull saw through the pony bus house in neighboring austria. the situation is hardly better. simmering is also a well known ski resort. it is unusually greed and mild and locals hope for snow in the little garden. in the last few days. it hasn't been that cold, not that wintery our guests winter torres. they probably don't really feel like skiing or sledding. maybe they'd rather go for walks in the park. again, leave a phyllis puts him in bog or to the swimming pool. the ski resorts in the alps which have made good money for decades, may have to reinvent themselves if they want to continue as hot spots for tourists

. just a reminder, the top business story we're following for you this our microsoft is in talks to invest 10000000000 dollars in open. i, i that creates all the artificial intelligence. bob chat, g p t, that's according to people familiar with the plan j. p t has received worldwide attention since it's launch less than 2 months ago. investment would value i up $29000000000.00. and so for me, the business name handbell in from overhead i was have d, w dot com slash business to tell us the next time i got them putting polo to the task isn't really to be found in almost everything but it comes at a high price production destroys rain forest and habitat for endangered b. is there another way to sustainable cultivation offers promising
