The Internet plays a pivotal role in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). As a massive global network connecting billions of devices, it provides the infrastructure for communication, information sharing, and AI learning. The Internet serves as a fundamental data source for AI algorithms, particularly in generative AI applications like ChatGPT. The interdependence of AI and the Internet is undeniable, with the Internet being the lifeblood of AI systems. Without it, the practical use and capabilities of AI, including generative AI, would be severely constrained. In essence, the Internet’s significance in enabling AI capabilities surpasses the scale and importance of AI itself.
