When AI takes over: Our ChatGPT podcast disaster [LISTEN] | The Citizen
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have been nothing short of remarkable. From language translation to computer vision, and even creating complex scripts, these technologies have greatly impacted our everyday lives. One of the latest applications of AI is the development of chatbot assistants, such as the open-source AI-driven chatbot ChatGPT. The chatbot works by using AI to interpret natural language and generate plausible responses to questions and conversations.
Recently, The Citizen hosted a podcast to discuss their experience with ChatGPT – the first ever podcast to feature AI as an active speaker. The podcast also touched on the real-world issues surrounding AI, such as the potential for it to alter the job market and questions about its ethical implications.
The conversation began with a conversation between the host, Lyle, and the AI, ChatGPT. Unsurprisingly, the responses from the AI were jaw-droppingly astounding; with the AI outperforming the human scriptwriters. However, the conversation soon shifted to a discussion about the dangers of AI, with viewers left to ponder on their real-world implications such as data privacy and global GDPR.
OpenAI is the company behind the advancement of AI-driven chatbot technologies, and they are dedicated to finding solutions to minimize risks associated with the potential misuse of AI technologies. They advocated for a six-month pause on any further experimentation with AI-driven chatbots, to assess the potential risks which they could bring.
In conclusion, the conversation on The Citizen’s podcast seemed to suggest that AI technology can have far-reaching implications in terms of privacy rights and jobs, but it also highlighted the potential for AI to benefit humanity in the long-term. It’s up to companies such as OpenAI to make sure safeguards are in place and risk assessments are carried out, before we can fully trust AI technology.
