The invention of ChatGPT has created a storm in the technology world. Launched on November 30, 2022, this platform has made its impact in every sphere of life and within a short period of time, the number of users related to technology, health, education, commerce, business and banking has reached ten crores.
'ChatGPT' is a powerful AI tool and computer language model that can communicate and answer questions like humans. Now the program can also process images and videos and design a website based on a simple paper design. It has been developed with the help of three billion words.
The amount of data fed into it shows how extensive this work has been. Moreover, it is constantly learning and upgrading itself while interacting with humans. It is doing simple day-to-day tasks like writing emails or messages as well as complex tasks like doing audits etc.
Given its popularity, many companies have made 'ChatGPT' a part of their programs, as has Microsoft's 'Bing' search engine linked to it. Its popularity further spread when Snapchat added it to its app.
Where earlier, it was used only by educated people; after coming to this app, common people have also started using it. A major factor in this was his ability to understand local languages and his ability to respond with humour. This Roman can speak Urdu very well.
While inventions are a hallmark of any developed society, they also need to be regulated to ensure people's safety. This becomes even more important when there is a danger that AI machines can transform the relationship between self and human into that of master and slave.
It also affects other aspects of our life as there are no rules or regulations regarding the use of mobile phones. Similarly, if laws are not made in time for artificial intelligence, it will largely overwhelm us very soon.
There is no denying that artificial intelligence has many advantages, but on the other hand, if it is not regularized, it also has disadvantages in political, social, economic and military fields. In the political arena, these chatbots can help gauge the public popularity of various candidates.
AI can help various political leaders run informed campaigns, run websites and social media accounts, interact with people, answer their questions, and create tailored content. Generative AI can gauge public support and predict election results ahead of time.
There are some positive uses of artificial intelligence in politics, but these regulated AIs can be used to impersonate political leaders, influence public opinion, and distort facts to favour and oppose others. can
When asked about the impact of artificial intelligence on political communication and democracy, Chet GPT believes that AI has the potential to influence strategic and political communication. As a result, it becomes imperative that ethics are taken into account when using AI and that policymakers take these risks into account. The reason 'cheatgpt' gave this answer was because it was created with the help of data.
AI and chatbots can also be used to spread misinformation and fake news and manipulate social media algorithms to spread it to the public. This is incredibly concerning for public safety.
Moreover, AI can also help in increasing productivity and efficiency in the economic field. According to a report, generative AI is expected to increase the annual global GDP by 7.0% over the next ten years.
Generative AI models such as Google Cabard and ChatGPT have a high level of intelligence that most humans do not possess. This raises another danger. Can AI take over human jobs? Although AI is helping humans in many fields, there is a constant threat that it will replace humans.
While ordinary drivers once lost their jobs to Uber and Careem, it is likely that Uber and Careem drivers will lose their jobs with the advent of automated cars.
Artificial intelligence may not completely replace humans, but it can make some jobs redundant while creating new technical and non-technical jobs. Those who are not ready to adapt or learn from these changes will be at a disadvantage.
Similarly, Chat GPT can be helpful in various social sectors. The most prominent is its use in the educational sector. Students widely use it to create their assignments or summarize subjects.
This has reduced the burden on the students and increased the burden on the professors. AI-generated content is difficult to distinguish from human-written content. According to research by the University of Cambridge, complete reliance on AI will make the education sector controversial and artificial intelligence will threaten its integrity.
They believe that it can be helpful to use it simply to generate ideas, but it is wrong to depend on it completely. There is a need to regularize these tools to ensure honesty and merit in education.
Although the use of AI is largely in civilian affairs, it can be very helpful in the military sector as well. According to an official of the US Department of Defense, AI can greatly help in developing military software.
According to him, earlier, it was quite difficult to convince developers and coders of this. AI can help in decision-making, taking measures, creating defence strategies and analyzing the data received from various sensors. It can also be used in emerging military technologies such as drones, missiles, jets, tanks, etc.
The use of generative AI in lethal automated weapons systems would be most dangerous since these weapons can automatically target people once activated.
This creates fear about accountability, responsibility and transparency about who will be responsible and who will be held accountable. Hence it becomes very important to regulate it, as over time, AI can become more intelligent and take independent actions bypassing humans.
Although Italy banned chat GPT, which has now been lifted, many countries have been reluctant to introduce laws regulating generative AI. They believe that such laws could push them back in the technology race. In an era of rapid development, discussions of banning technology are irrelevant and illogical and not in the interest of technologically advanced states.
Therefore, it is important to emphasize regulations and laws rather than restrictions, as the CEO of OpenAI and other members of Silicon Valley have done. According to Sandford University's 2023 index, around 37 bills have been passed into law globally, but these laws regulate limited aspects of artificial intelligence at the national level.
Globally, competition in AI is increasing, and voices regulating it are fading or few, which could read irreparable harm in the future. Only proper laws and regulations can ensure that the use of AI is positive and beneficial to humanity, not as destructive as the atomic bomb.
