Rob Lyons from the Academy of Ideas recently discussed the ‘dangers’ posed by the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the tech magnate Elon Musk launched his latest endeavor, the ‘TruthGPT’ chatbot. The chatbot, utilizing AI-based algorithms, has the purpose to detect and confirm that the information communicated through it is true and accurate. In order to achieve this mission, Musk believes the use of AI is essential.
Elon Musk’s decision to create the ‘TruthGPT’ chatbot, received an interesting reaction from Rob Lyons. Rob Lyons is an advocate for free-thinking and open dialogue, and he believes that, with truth being such a subjective concept, the chatbot should be taken with a grain of salt. He claims that AI will never and can never fully understand truth and context, and that the chatbot may come as an obstacle and even a standstill in the development of healthy debates and potential opportunities for learning. moreover, he asserts that the chatbot has the potential for creating a form of ‘digital censorship’, leaving out diverse perspectives and ideas.
