Editorial : Good and bad- AI
Generative AI is artifical intelligence that can create new data. There are many instances of generative AI today, most commonly used to generate text, images, and code in response to users' requests. For example, OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot mimics intelligence very well.
In the recent years, AI models with access to sufficient computing power have done a lot of good, such as finding new antibiotics and alloys, entertainment and cultural activities. However, concerns such as the inscrutability of the inner workings of AI, its use of copyrighted data and its ability to falsify data have also caught attention.
To tackle this, the Indian government should proactively launch and maintain an open-source AI risk profile, set up R&D environments to test high risk AI models, promote the development of explainable AI, define scenarios of intervention and keep a watchful eye.
● ChatGPT- is a 'conversational' AI.
• It can answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.
• GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 and this is a kind of computer language model that relies on deep learning techniques to produce human-like text based on inputs.
• The model is trained to predict what will come next, and that's why one can have a "conversation" with the chatbot.
• It can be used in real-world applications such as digital marketing, online content creation, answering customer service queries and even to write codes.
