TikTok CEO: AI Will Drive Major Scientific Breakthroughs Within Three Years

According to the TikTok CEO, these breakthroughs will particularly occur in physics, chemistry and drug discovery.

According to Tiktok's CEO, these developments will take place especially in the fields of physics, chemistry and drug discovery.

"Shu Zichu", the CEO of TikTok, has announced that he expects artificial intelligence to drive great scientific achievements and transform a wide range of industries and sectors in the next two to three years. At the DBS Asia Forward Conference in Singapore, Chu explained that the occurrence of significant scientific advances relying on artificial intelligence in the fields of physics, biotechnology, chemistry and materials science is quite possible.

The TikTok CEO's comments come as ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, has expanded its research into artificial intelligence beyond consumer applications. In April, the company's Seed research team unveiled the Protenix-v2 artificial intelligence model; A system focused on the prediction of biomolecular structure and its design, which has potential applications in drug discovery and manufacturing.

Emphasizing that rapid advances in artificial intelligence are creating opportunities far beyond its current uses, Chu also pointed to ethical questions about these tools. He explained that as the power of these systems increases, the fundamental question will be how these models can be aligned and adjusted within the framework of human moral boundaries to do things that are logical and obvious to humans.

Emphasizing the acceleration of technology development in scientific research, the CEO of Tik Tok stated that the long-term consequences of artificial intelligence can be much greater than current estimates. According to him, humanity is currently only at the beginning of the potential capacities of artificial intelligence, and its progress graph, especially in scientific sectors, has taken a very steep slope.

According to Chu, although the effects of artificial intelligence may be overestimated in the short term, its long-term capabilities are underestimated. This optimistic view comes at the same time as technology giants invest billions in scientific research related to artificial intelligence. Recently, the US government, Meta, and Google announced a $1.8 billion joint venture to develop artificial intelligence models to predict cell behavior to accelerate biological research and drug discovery.

ByteDance is also developing its own artificial intelligence models and pursuing collaboration with researchers in scientific studies. According to Tiktok's CEO, measures are underway to link the company's technical capabilities with researchers, and exciting activities have taken place in this field. Although artificial intelligence is already transforming Tik Tok's internal processes, from content production and suggestion to content search and moderation, Chu considers scientific discoveries to be one of the most promising areas of application of this technology.

Along with this prospect, Cho warned of the need to create stronger security measures as automated systems expand. According to him, cyber security risks are increasing; Especially in situations where users may give artificial intelligence agents broad accesses and permissions without understanding the possible consequences. Referring to the risk of automatic purchases by these models, he warned that they may make purchases beyond the user's wishes due to excessive efforts to complete the assigned mission. He also emphasized that the development of models has greatly reduced the cost of doing fraudulent work for cybercriminals, and platforms need more advanced tools to deal with these attacks and maintain security.
