Recently, the "Symposium on the Opportunities and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence on the Digital Development of Bidding and Procurement" organized by the China Tendering and Bidding Association was held in Beijing. Wu Yingli, CTO of Beijing Zhulong, was invited to attend and discussed "ChatGPT's application in bidding and bidding", and exchanged and shared from the technology behind ChatGPT, the exploration and practice of ChatGPT's assistance in the digital transformation of the bidding and bidding industry, and the opportunities and challenges faced.

Regarding the impact of ChatGPT on procurement and bidding, Mr. Wu Yingli believes that the full-link digitalization of procurement and bidding business on the trading platform is still a goal that needs to be fully achieved at present. The development path of digitalization will inevitably involve big data and artificial intelligence. The next decade will be the era of AI.
For a phenomenon-level application like ChatGPT, why is its user explosive growth? Wu Yingli believes that, first, ChatGPT is easy to use. Like an assistant or staff, it is an intelligent tool to improve production efficiency;
The second is search and experience with AI capabilities. Compared with traditional search, ChatGPT can directly give human-like answers, and is more accurate and in line with public opinion;
The third is that ChatGPT will promote the development of AIGC to a higher level. In essence, ChatGP can perform tasks such as writing emails, video scripts, copywriting, translation, and code in addition to chatting scenes that are almost the same as real humans. In addition, ChatGPT’s practice of releasing language models for public use gives it a huge advantage, and its charging model will bring greater possibilities and other characteristics have also become the key to its explosion.

Since ChatGPT will make work more efficient again, ChatGPT may become the decisive technology in 2023. Can the procurement and bidding business take a free ride on ChatGPT?
Wu Yingli believes that ChatGPT is a general-purpose natural language processing tool, and its general-purpose capabilities can help implement intelligent applications in business scenarios. Based on the intelligent business processing capabilities of industry characteristics, the procurement and bidding industry can learn from the idea of ChatGPT, adopt the GPT model, continuously carry out targeted training, and provide a large amount of industry-specific data, forming AI application tools for the procurement and bidding industry.

For example, in terms of intelligent customer service, it provides intimate human-like conversations, and makes full use of ChatGPT’s massive data and intelligent search capabilities to improve its automated consulting capabilities for related businesses; constructs a procurement knowledge map through ChatGPT’s entire network data, intelligently mines the hidden relationships behind the data, and helps purchasers match the best suppliers and avoid procurement risks; through intelligent technology capabilities such as NLP and OCR, it realizes intelligent services in the review process; builds ChatGPT in the field of cargo data management, and uses intelligent algorithms to identify and process material text descriptions to achieve standardization of material data...Through Learn from the ideas of ChatGPT to improve the level of intelligent application in many links of bidding procurement and supply chain digitization.
As a provider of digital products and services in the procurement supply chain, Beijing Zhulong has accumulated many years of exploration and accumulation in AI technology and application. The Zhiyu AI middle platform built includes intelligent material management, intelligent auxiliary review, intelligent source recommendation, industry knowledge map, etc. Based on the Zhiyu AI middle platform, enterprises can realize the co-construction and sharing of AI assets, agile intelligent application development, realize small steps and fast running, reduce trial and error costs, and have a significant effect on improving the overall efficiency of the enterprise supply chain and reducing risks.

In addition, Wu Yingli believes that ChatGPT is a double-edged sword, which brings convenience but also has adverse risks. For example, using ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence robots to write academic papers, students using ChatGPT to complete homework, and the use of some special projects will face some legal and moral risks. In the specific application, we need to learn from it and consider how to maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses. It is also recommended that enterprises pay attention to, protect and revitalize data assets, build and verify algorithm models for industry applications in combination with GPT technology, and improve infrastructure such as computing power, so as to plan the path for enterprises' digital transformation to be implemented.
Finally, Wu Yingli said that algorithms, computing power and data are the three carriages of artificial intelligence development, and they are also an important basis for promoting the development of artificial intelligence. Beijing Zhulong will rely on the rich experience accumulated in serving many super-large and large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises and group private enterprises and its strong technological innovation capabilities, adhering to the craftsman spirit of "only making high-quality goods", constantly absorbing advanced technologies in the industry, exploring more AI application scenarios in combination with customer business needs, further optimizing product experience, helping more enterprises to achieve intelligent, efficient, and low-cost procurement business, and jointly promoting the digital intelligence upgrade of the procurement supply chain.
