Alter3: The Humanoid Robot with GPT-4 Brains

Dr Mark van Rijmenam, CSP -

Is AI taking over mundane human tasks a blessing or a curse for the future workforce?

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Alternative Machine have unveiled Alter3, a GPT-4-powered humanoid robot capable of translating natural language commands into physical actions.

In my 2024 technology predictions, I already predicted the rise of robots empowered with multi-modal LLMs and this is really starting to take off, with significant consequences for society.

Leveraging the vast knowledge of GPT-4, Alter3 can perform tasks ranging from simple selfies to intricate mimicking behaviors like pretending to be a ghost. This development represents a significant leap in robotics, reducing the complexity of direct robot programming.

Despite this, the robot still requires human feedback for fine-tuning its actions, highlighting the blend of human and machine collaboration. How can businesses harness such advanced AI technologies while ensuring ethical and practical implementation?
