In recent weeks, ChatGPT, launched by the American artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has become the most popular chat bot ever. Its powerful functions have attracted widespread attention from the company and it is called a “milestone” application of AI. Major companies have devoted themselves to developing applications similar to ChatGPT, but the "popularity" of ChatGPT has also triggered discussions on the regulation of artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT will change the world, but will everything be rosy?
ChatGPT was only released for two months and its monthly active users reached 100 million, making it the fastest growing consumer app in history. For a while', Microsoft, Facebook (WhatsApp) Tencent, Baidu and many other companies in the tech field have subsequently released their results with implementations of ChatGPT. The quick response and simple operation of ChatGPT makes a large number of users use it to search for information and write thesis, not just as a chat tool.
However, as the scope of application of ChatGPT becomes wider and wider, its hidden risks have also started to become public. While ChatGPT isn't perfect, the chat bot is still increasing our understanding of AI development, and AI security requires legislative oversight. In fact, ChatGPT has demonstrated the incredible development of artificial intelligence, but this also brings legal and ethical problems.
In terms of intellectual property rights, ChatGPT can be used to generate documents and codes, causing intellectual property infringements and ownership disputes. In terms of personal information protection, ChatGPT cannot conduct a factual verification of information and data sources, and there may be hidden dangers such as the leakage of personal data and the dissemination of false information. In terms of data security, since ChatGPT can learn human speech, it can create more confusion in terms of grammar and expression habits when writing "phishing emails". If it is used improperly, the harmful consequences it will cause are incalculable.
From a global perspective, the governments of various countries have started to pay attention to various accompanying issues in the development of artificial intelligence, and the formulation and implementation of laws and regulations in the field of artificial intelligence have also been put on the agenda. artificial intelligence. Generative AI systems create opportunities, but at the same time we are facing a historical "crossroads": whether AI controls humans or humans control AI.
The European Union plans to update yet-to-be-published AI regulations with “The Artificial Intelligence Act“, which is expected to come into effect in 2025. The National Artificial Intelligence Strategy issued by the UK government emphasizes that government-formulated systems of governance and regulation must keep pace with the rapidly evolving situation of artificial intelligence.
In China, in December 2022, the National Internet Information Bureau, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Regulation on the Administration of Internet Information Services Deep Synthesis Internet”, which came into effect on January 10 this year. The "Regulation" provides a series of requirements for application service providers and technical supports such as ChatGPT that use artificial intelligence technology to generate content.
In any case, due to the two-sided nature of this technology, we not only have to regulate algorithms, but also combine them with data regulation. How to ensure the accuracy and privacy of AI generative data sources, how to protect intellectual property rights, and how to correct AI immoral discourse bias in a timely manner are all urgent problems to be solved in the field of intelligence artificial.
At present, the AI security assistance still needs to be reviewed and approved by the relevant departments, and the scope of ChatGPT is also expected to be limited. The state may need to strengthen the ethical regulation of artificial intelligence, improve the ethical awareness and behavioral awareness of artificial intelligence in the whole society, so that artificial intelligence conforms to morality and law, and conforms to order public. On this basis, perhaps the use range and application depth should be gradually opened up, and explore the healthy development of artificial intelligence.
As Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger put it:
Technology itself is neutral, and we must continually transform it into a force for good. The tech community must be a role model for all walks of life when it comes to achieving breakthroughs with AI-enhanced systems. When built and used responsibly, AI will create prosperity and enrich people's lives.
