Several well-known figures and key players in the field of artificial intelligence believe that chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT can pose “serious risks to society and humanity”.
ChatGPT makes a lot of noise. This conversation tool is able to exchange and follow a real dialogue with its interlocutor in the form of written messages. Its potential is huge when used with other digital tools.
For example, criminals could use ChatGPT to “significantly speed up the search process” in areas they don’t know about: writing texts to commit fraud or gathering information about home burglary, terrorism, cybercrime and sexual abuse,” he said the Agency.
Hear Dave Anctil, affiliate researcher at the International Observatory on the Impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Digital, talk about the non-trivial arrival of ChatGPT.
The chatbot’s ability to mimic speech styles also made it particularly effective at creating phishing emails.
ChatGPT, which can quickly produce text, is “ideal for propaganda and disinformation purposes,” warns Europol.
ChatGPT can also be used to write computer code without having the technical knowledge.
Dave Anctil also addresses the job market, which will surely be affected by the combined use of tools with ChatGPT.
