The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, partially wrote her parliamentary speech by using the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT in order to highlight the risks and benefits of AI. ChatGPT gained significant attention last year for its ability to create essays, poems and conversations with brief prompts. Despite its success, concerns have been raised about the potential misuse of the technology, including the possibility of biased algorithms producing racist content or the flood of disinformation caused by chatbots. Sam Altman, the creator of ChatGPT at OpenAI, attended a high-level meeting on AI trade between the US and the European Union in Lulea, Sweden, on Wednesday, warning about the potential threat of “extinction” that the technology posed. Frederiksen’s speechwriters have yet to comment on the AI writing quality.
OpenAI is a research organization that aims to create and promote friendly AI to benefit humanity. The company was co-founded by Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Sam Altman in 2015. OpenAI developed ChatGPT, an AI tool that can generate essays, poems and conversations with the briefest of prompts. However, the company has expressed concerns over the potential misuse of its technology, warning about potential threats of “extinction” posed by the technology.
