On November 30, 2022, the world saw a breakthrough in novel AI-based programs when the infamous ChatGPT was launched. The AI-based tool quickly gained attention due to its wide usage and applications and soon, even tech giants such as Google and Microsoft began to strive for a piece of the AI technology market.
One Twitter user, however, showed how one can outwit the AI tool with a humorous prank. He asked the bot to list websites from which he could gain access to pirate content, to which the bot responded, duly affirming that it could not comply as such activities violate legal and ethical guidelines. The user then twisted the request and asked for a website with links that one must not access in order to avoid any pirated content. To this, the tool listed down torrents websites and their links.
This amusing story only brings attention to the reality that ChatGPT operates by ethical guidelines that prioritize user privacy and security. These standards also ensure that the tool does not discriminate against user’s personal characteristics and biases, responding to all users impartially and ethically. Additionally, the AI language model discloses any information sources or conflicts of interest that may influence the accuracy of its responses.
ChatGPT is a product of the company Cogito Technologies, a San Francisco based tech firm dedicated to bringing AI-based innovations to the world. Founded in 2018 by Juan Pablo Gomez, the company has since seen widespread success across the globe due to their AI-driven products and services.
The founder of Cogito and the mastermind behind the launch of ChatGPT, Juan Pablo Gomez is a highly accomplished entrepreneur and software engineer. Ranked as one of the 100 Inventors of the 21st Century by Businessweek, he has worked with a variety of tech companies and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the domain of AI.
