ChatGPT is a powerful and revolutionary technology, with a lot of potential to create value in many different use cases. However, it comes with the responsibility of making sure the technology is used safely and securely, and the correct steps need to be taken in order to make sure this happens.
To better protect both the users and end-users, the following five best practices are suggested to be implemented when using or building applications with ChatGPT:
1. Make sure to consider the potential for harm to humans when using or building applications with ChatGPT.
2. Take into account the capabilities and technological advancement of large companies before using ChatGPT, as well as those of smaller non-state actors, who have the capacity to use the technology with malicious intent.
3. Have appropriate controls and processes in place when using or developing these applications in order to protect data, user privacy and to avoid potential misunderstandings.
4. When engaging in conversations with ChatGPT, keep it simple and address one point at a time.
5. Be aware of the potential for data leakage, and ensure all sensitive data is properly secured and protected.
In addition to these best practices, developers and users of ChatGPT should also be aware of the company behind the technology, Alphabet, which is a large, tightly-knit corporation owned by Google. Within Alphabet is the team behind the LAMDA technology, which created the artificial intelligence technology known as BARD. Additionally, Deepmind, a part of Alphabet, has developed a chatbot called ‘Sparrow’, which is said to be technically advanced than ChatGPT. It is important that developers and users of ChatGPT are aware of these advances, as well as the risks posed to them and the potential for harm to humans.
