If you are not familiar with ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer), developed and launched by OpenAI, a San Francisco company, on November 30th, 2022 – you need to be.
ChatGPT technology is built upon OpenAI’s GPT3 AI platform which houses some of the world’s largest language models, using both supervised and unsupervised AI learning techniques. Unlike most previous chatbots, ChatGPT remembers all previous conversations and queries are accurately filtered so racism or inappropriate prompts are immediately identified and dismissed. ChatGPT also lets you type questions using your natural language, and then the chatbot gives conversational answers which are derived from large data volumes from both the internet and other public sources. Essentially think of any data that can be gobbled up, like a giant vacuum cleaner, the GPT3 AI platform infrastructures are only too happy to consume as much data as it can be fed. However, ChatGPT is not without its flaws as it has been reported that ChatGPT’s training data has algorithmic data bias and generated a rap indicating that women and scientists of color were inferior to white and male scientists.
The service is currently free to the public, and will be monetized later. Already, there are over two million users that have been online testing it out, although CNBC wrote on December 15th, 2022, that the service "still goes down from time to time.” It has already had many positive reviews from the NY Times, stating it is the world’s- best AI Chat bot ever released, to The Guardian stating it generates human like text.
Here are some key questions to think about.
1.) Will ChatGPT become so powerful that all academic questions can be fed in and a respectable answer can be returned to score a satisfactory mark? How can academia or even high schools manage this emerging reality?
2.) Will Chat GPT threaten all call center roles as in theory all product and service issues could be fed into an AI model and be fairly accurate with customer communication?
3.) How many knowledge worker jobs will be impacted from the advancement of super intelligent chatbots?
3.) Will ChatGPT or tools like it create new cybersecurity risks?
4.) Will Google face a major disrupter to its high perch?
