ChatGPT, the rapidly growing artificial intelligence program, gained public attention due to its ability to quickly and extensively answer a variety of questions.
The program has piqued the interest of investors who are eager to be a part of the next big breakthrough in technology.
Created by the private company OpenAI, with the support of the Microsoft company, the ChatGPT program registered 100 million monthly active users, just two months after the release of the application, which made it the program with the fastest growing number of users in history.
Its popularity has caught the attention of US lawmakers, who have questions about the program's impact on the education system, national security and how it will be regulated.
Democratic lawmaker Ted Lieu, a member of the House Science Committee, said that while he is excited about the robotics program, he is also terrified of artificial intelligence if it is left unchecked and unregulated.
Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, according to an aide, stressed the need to make sure AI doesn't include biases that would lead to discrimination in the real world.
A law firm whose work focuses on the responsibilities of Artificial Intelligence noted national security concerns, warning of the potential for malicious actors, domestically and abroad, with interests at odds with the United States to use them. these systems for creating false and harmful material.
Most of the concerns about the ChatGPT program come from professors, who express fears about possible fraud in schools and universities and plagiarism.
Others have expressed concerns that the software could be used to spread fake news.
In a statement, the OpenAI company said that "we do not want ChatGPT to be used for fraud in schools, or anywhere else, so we are working on creating mitigation measures to help anyone identify materials created by this system."
The ChatGPT program itself gave an interesting answer when asked how it should be configured:
"As a neutral AI language model, I do not have a position on specific laws that may or may not be passed to regulate AI systems like myself," the system itself replied.
But he then compiled a list of areas where regulators should focus, such as data privacy, bias, fairness and transparency in how responses are written.
