OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on a global tour to prevent governments from regulating his ChatGPT AI chatbot. While advocating for future regulations, he aims to avoid current oversight efforts. However, his actions have raised concerns about the misuse of AI technology and highlighted the need for an international regulatory framework.
Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, recently delivered a speech written entirely by ChatGPT, an AI generative tool. This highlights the potential of AI while also emphasizing the need for caution and regulation to prevent misuse.
Translate the latest tech breakthrough – “Mind Reading” – being developed by ChatGPT. Researchers at the University of Texas in Austin have used AI technology to scan brain activity and translate it into words. This breakthrough could revolutionize communication and improve life for people with speech impairments. Regulations must be passed to protect user data.
It's a sad truth but AI technology misuse is outgrowing commonplace security checks. A Fujian case of 4.3 million yuan stolen in 10 minutes using WeChat, highlights the danger of AI-generated images and voices. To combat this, experts are advocating prevention and caution before using AI technology and getting consent for images. Let's stay ahead of the curve and protect against potential misuse of AI.
Recently, controversy has erupted due to Ernie Bot, a Chinese AI-based chatbot built to mimic OpenAI's ChatGPT functioning. Ernie Bot has been criticized for shunning away from sensitive topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and Chinese President Xi Jinping to inquiries. In wake of the virus' origin, the chatbot failed to mention the possibility of laboratory leak or it being originated in China. Further, it kept mum to queries for President Xi’s potential lifetime rule and declining to comment on China's lifted "zero-COVID" policy. It has raised apprehensions about the regulations on AI chatbots.
