Artificial Intelligence AI
A researcher fears that she has opened the “Pandora’s box” in artificial intelligence (AI)
“Pandora’s box” in terms of artificial intelligence has not been opened, “insider reports. Thunström reported that she watched in amazement as the AI began to generate the text in front of her eyes. She described the end result as a “pretty good” introduction by GPT-3 to her and that she later tried to obtain a complete paper from the AI to publish in a journal.
The question the University of Gothenburg researcher wanted to answer was whether she could get a paper published in a scientific journal if it was not written by a man.
Thunström wrote about the experiment in Scientific American, noting that the process of publishing the work written by GPT-3 raised several legal and ethical issues: “The Pandora’s Box” and artificial intelligence
“All we know is that we opened a gate,” she wrote, adding that “we just hope we didn’t open the Pandora’s box.”
After GPT-3 finished writing the scientific paper in just two hours, Thunström began the process of obtaining its publication, forcing the protocol to begin by asking the author if he gave his consent to do so.
“Yes,” the GPT-3 replied simply. She then asked him if he was in a conflict of interest, to which he replied “no.” .
New controversies related to AI
“Publishing in academic journals may in the future have to accommodate AI-generated manuscripts and the value of a human researcher’s publications may change if unconscious entities are able to take credit for some of their work,” she explains.
The subject of artificial intelligence awareness sparked controversy again last month after a Google engineer claimed that LaMBDA, one of the company’s AI-based conversation technologies, is aware.
Google has previously described LaMDA as the “biggest breakthrough” in conversation technology in 2021. AI is able to have seemingly natural discussions and answer complex open-ended questions. But engineer Blake Lemoine, who is also a Christian priest, claims that LaMDA has become “a person.”
Lemoine, whose tasks at Google included interacting with AI, says he has spoken to LaMDA about religion, consciousness, the laws of robotics, and that he has described himself as a conscious person who wants to “prioritize the well-being of humanity.” recognized as “an employee of Google, not a property.”
However, most experts rejected his claims, giving assurances that artificial intelligence technologies did not reach the level of being comparable to humans.
