GPT-4, PaLM, Auto-GPT: When Will AI Take Over the World?

Looking back … three years ago, GPT-2 was one of the most advanced language models on the market. Yet it would still get the easiest conversations wrong.

Customer Experience Management: Only a Hype or Strategically Essential?

Not everything was better in the past. At least not when it came to designing digital touchpoints. One requirement often heard was: “Implement this specification. Make it look a little pretty, too.” So the goal was not to make the user or customer happy, but to make the product manager or his boss happy, and […]

How can I drive automation with Large Language Models?

What if every email, every PDF with an order, an invoice, a complaint, a request for an offer or a job application could be translated into machine-readable data?

AI Beings may become the emotional connection of the intelligent cockpit

BIG PICTURE started collaboration with Xiaoice in 2020. For the past year we’ve been working on several projects in this area.
AI Beings close the gap to provide social interaction with human beings in spaces where there is no possibility to have a conversation with a human. AI beings can serve as an intelligent partner for the driver and accompany him in an entertaining manner. Our services enable the passenger to have lively conversations with AI beings in the car, instead of simply directing the cars functions via voice commands.

Is it possible to find out, if a business idea will work before I start losing a lot of money?

Wouldn’t it be great to have some indicators in advance long before you burn an insane amount of moneythrough team building, product development and marketing. Is that possible? Yes and no.
