Critical Assessment of Ethical Implications of Chat GPT

Tobi A. Kareem

---

Abstract

In our swiftly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), the discourse surrounding the ethical considerations of AI systems has taken centre stage. A pertinent exemplar in this domain is ChatGPT, an advanced AI model developed by Open AI. It encapsulates the remarkable potential and intricate challenges associated with endowing machines with the capability to engage in human-like conversations and problem-solving tasks. As AI progressively integrates into our daily lives, it becomes imperative to deliberate upon its societal impacts and equitable deployment meticulously. This initiative delves into the intricacies of ChatGPT, elucidating its operational mechanics while shedding light on the critical ethical quandaries that necessitate resolution. In the face of ever-changing technological paradigms, the ethical concerns entwined with AI continue to transform, urging a continuous reassessment of these challenges. This paper seeks to comprehensively investigate the operational framework of ChatGPT with a specific focus on privacy preservation, bias mitigation, and misinformation propagation. Beyond technical aspects, this exploration aspires to capture diverse perspectives from various stakeholders, ensuring a pluralistic incorporation of viewpoints. The overarching objective of this paper lies in fostering a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted ethical dilemmas intrinsic to AI, particularly as embodied by ChatGPT. This article aims to cultivate a shared comprehension of the ethical predicaments at hand by engaging AI developers, users, and policy-makers. As AI systems like ChatGPT progressively assume more substantial roles in our lives, formulating of judicious regulations becomes pivotal to harness its potential effectively while averting potential pitfalls. Delving into the realm of AI ethics transcends the purview of mere analysis; it embodies a collaborative attempt to harness the positive facets of AI for t
