Technology experts discussed the potential of ChatGPT at the HIMSS Conference and urged leaders to be aware of potential ethical issues before accepting the AI model. The healthcare sector must take accountability for ethical violations and for developing strategies that protect patient data and privacy.
Europe is raising the alarm over ChatGPT, an AI platform that can provide answers to a variety of queries. Europol, the EU’s law enforcement agency, has reported potential criminal use of the AI, such as facilitating terrorist acts and creating malicious software. Italy has temporarily banned the platform and the European Data Protection Board seeks to set regulations. A coalition of experts is pushing for a six-month moratorium on development of AI stronger than GPT-4. An AI act is proposed to ensure safety in the digital world, and debate is ongoing about safeguarding user data.
OpenAI has been recently confronted by the Italian authorities with an order concerning its AI chatbot, ChatGPT. This resulted from a data leak revealing users' chat histories and financial records, visible to the Garante, the Italian data protection authority. To protect users' data and rights, tech professionals, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, have signed an open letter urging AI labs to stop training AI systems beyond GPT-4 level for six months. OpenAI now has twenty days to comply to the Garante's recommendations or face fines of up to 20 million euros.
Elon Musk has announced his intention to create an AI chatbot that seeks only the truth. His "TruthGPT" project is further examined in the light of recent debates over AI's potential danger, alongside Musk's other AI ventures - OpenAI, X.AI and ChatGPT-4. With his most recent endeavor, Musk is set to challenge the current A.I. giants like Google and Apple, making waves in the industry.
