“ChatGPT's Safety: Navigating The Pros and Cons of AI Chatbots”
The advent of AI chatbots, especially OpenAI's ChatGPT, signaled a significant evolutionary leap in AI technology. Unveiled in November 2022, ChatGPT surpassed all predecessors with its near-perfect English and impressive ability to seek and retrieve information — a development that quickly attracted a staggering one hundred million users within two months. Yet, as its popularity soared, so did concerns.
Among the heightened apprehensions, a critical question dominates: “Is ChatGPT safe?” Espoused fears range from job displacement, the rise of rogue AIs akin to film dystopias, and whether distinguishing human writer from AI would soon be impossible. Contrary to the alarmist stance, the worst apprehensions are yet to materialize. However, should users perceive ChatGPT and its rivals as totally safe? Not quite.
ChatGPT, a type of AI named LLM (large language models), poses risks, too. Varying from data privacy, spreading of perilous misinformation to the potential misuse by malicious entities, these risks are real. To appreciate the extent, one must understand how ChatGPT works.
Trained on a copious amount of text, from books, academic papers to internet content, ChatGPT identifies patterns and generates responses based on statistical probabilities. This approach, while efficient, often leads to erroneous results as the AI lacks the ability of human reasoning. One key concern is data privacy. As your data is transferred over the internet each time you input a prompt, OpenAI's privacy policy reveals its intention to use that information for further training, flagging misuse, tuning responses among other reasons. Having its partners such as Microsoft and Snowflake possessing access to your data further compounds the privacy concerns.
The debate over AI chatbots' safety doesn't have a definitive yes or no answer. In closing, we ask you, “Do you think the utility of AI chatbots justifies the risks?”
