Microsoft has taken the lead in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ChatGPT, overtaking Google who have been careful in adopting AI technologies. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI language models into Bing search engine and Edge browser, allowing the Redmond-based giant to take the lead. Google's response was the introduction of chatbot, Bard, based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It has triggered suspections that Google had been overly cautious in getting their tech ready, while their rival Microsoft had pushed on. Details have emerged on Google's efforts to prevent harm from AI, with reports of employees reviewing the company's AI products and reducing the potential risks for launch. Microsoft, however, has been mum about ethical and security issues, keeping a minimum size executive team and canning employees who raised a concern. The goal for Microsoft is to lead the AI competition - something which is clear from an email seen by The New York Times, delivered by the giants technology executive, Sam Schillace.
The EDPB have formed a task force to create a common policy on ChatGPT, seeking to protect user's privacy and safety. ChatGPT, owned by OpenAI and backed by Microsoft, is quickly growing in popularity due to its ability to answer a wide range of queries. Experts, governments and the U.S are looking towards the task force to regulate this advanced AI technology.
OpenAI is a laboratory committed to the responsible development of Artificial Intelligence technology. With the help of CEO Sam Altman and its initiatives, OpenAI is setting the standard when it comes to safe, transparent, and ethical development of technology. Recently, OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, was called into question by Italian data protection officials. OpenAI has taken the comments to heart, outlining its approach to AI safety and taking active steps to avoid repeats of this data privacy issue.
This article outlines the risks of artificial intelligence and proposes a moratorium on AI research. However, a pause is not a solution. Instead, we need increased transparency and accountability in the development of AI, as well as guidelines to ensure their use and deployment is ethical. Non-profit Future of Life Institute is advocating for responsible AI, but it's essential that we all take responsibility and account for these risk.
