Here’s a quick wrap-up for those who missed Aleena O’Neill‘s fascinating and relevant session on The rise of ChatGPT and the need for AI ethics at the /NEW conference last week! Our key takeaways include:
Conversational AI platforms like ChatGPT are potent tools that can help us to
- Easily explain complex issues
- Write/debunk code
- Create content including framework, policy, procedures
- Write CV’s, and cover letters and even help you prepare for interviews!
But Aleena warned that there are also limitations to ChatGPT and some areas of concern, including:
- Accuracy and bias of information. These technologies can’t decipher whether the source is truthful or analyse the credibility of the source
- ChatGPT can only fetch data prior to the year 2021 – meaning the sources are somewhat outdated. However, this will soon be updated in V.4
- There are challenges with plagiarism and copyright. Although the tool it designed to generate unique and original responses, it may unintentionally produce similar responses to existing content
- Security – some users are uploading confidential information, sensitive business data and or privacy-protected information
- Ethical considerations – ChatGPT has the potential to generate fake news or other misleading content that could have severe ramifications
- Beware of DAN – Do Anything Now. This model can bypass ChatGPT’s safeguards and has been used to generate violent, offensive and controversial responses
