ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence program that recently drew public attention for its ability to quickly write answers to a wide range of questions, has caught the attention of US congressmen as it has become the fastest-growing consumer app in history, with more more than 100 million monthly active users.
And not only ChatGPT, but also Bing AI (Microsoft) makes a fuss with its controversial lines, Midjourney with scandalous images generated by AI at the request of users, plus virtual assistants like Alexa (Amazon), Siri (Apple) and Watson (IBM).
Meta, the company behind the Facebook social network, has announced that it is working on a new chatbot – Blenderbot, Alphabet, which runs Google, has in turn announced that it will develop a chatbot called Bard.
Elon Musk, the head of the social media platform Twitter and the founder of the companies SpaceX and Tesla, intends to develop an artificial intelligence after making a significant contribution to the development of the Open AI company that launched ChatGPT.
On the other hand, the richest man in the world warns that artificial intelligence represents a danger to human civilization and has even requested the big corporations to take a break in the advance of technology.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a Commerce Department agency that advises the White House on telecommunications and information policy, says there is “growing regulatory interest” in AI.
The agency wants to know if there are measures that could be put in place to provide assurance “that AI systems are legal, effective, ethical, safe and trustworthy”.
“Responsible AI systems could bring enormous benefits, but only if we address their consequences and potential harms. For these systems to reach their full potential, businesses and consumers must trust them,” said NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson.
President Joe Biden said last week that it remains to be seen whether artificial intelligence is dangerous.
“In my view, technology companies have a responsibility to make sure their products are safe before they put them on the market,” the president said.
ChatGPT, which has wowed some users with quick answers to questions and unsettled others with inaccuracies, is made by California-based OpenAI and backed by Microsoft Corp.
NTIA plans to produce a report as it looks at “efforts to ensure AI systems work as developers claim — and without causing harm,” and said the effort will inform ongoing work by the Biden Administration to “ensure an approach federal government’s coherent and comprehensive approach to artificial intelligence”.
A technology ethics group, the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy, has asked the US Federal Trade Commission to stop OpenAI from releasing new commercial versions of GPT-4, saying it is “biased, misleading and a risk to privacy and public safety “, reports Reuters.
