"Rage Against the Intelligent Machines"
A multifaceted fight against Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been ignited. Several prominent organizations questioned the risks inherent in the largely unregulated manner in which emerging Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and GPT-4, Microsoft's Bing Chat, and Google's Bard systems are being deployed. At issue is how LLMs are being deployed without a prior, transparent, and auditable assessment of their risks, such as facilitating cybercrime, their propensity for fabricating facts that people could rely on, reinforcing dangerous disinformation, and displaying overt and offensive societal biases. Some have called for a suspension of LLM development while measures to ensure their safety are created. This article continues to discuss concerns regarding the risks posed by LLMs.
