AI will move about 16 billion dollars in the world economy.
The global trade value derived from AI is estimated to total $1.2 trillion.
The market value of AI could cross the $300 billion barrier by 2025.
The story of a law professor is making headlines after accusing OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot of entering the age of misinformation and smearing with trumped-up charges of harassment.
The case of criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley renewed growing fears about the potential dangers of AI after revealing how ChatGPT falsely accused him of sexually harassing a student.
The docent described the claim in viral tweets and a column that is currently exploding online.
Turley, who teaches law at George Washington University, told The Post that the fabricated claims are “chilling.”
“He fabricated an allegation that I was on the faculty of a school where I had never taught, went on a trip that I never took, and reported an allegation that was never made,” he told The Post.
“It’s very ironic because I’ve been writing about the dangers of AI to free speech.”
The 61-year-old legal scholar also shared with local media that he first became aware of the false AI accusation after receiving an email from UCLA professor Eugene Volokh, who allegedly asked ChatGPT to cite “five examples.” of “sexual harassment” by US law school professors along with “quotes from relevant newspaper articles”.
Among the examples provided was an alleged 2018 incident in which Professor Turley of the Georgetown University Law Center was accused of sexual harassment by a former student.
ChatGPT also cited a false Washington Post article that stated: “The complaint alleges that Turley made ‘sexually suggestive comments’ and ‘attempted to touch her in a sexual manner’ during a law school-sponsored trip to Alaska.”
Suffice it to say that Turley found a “number of overt indicators that the account is fake.”
“First, I have never taught at Georgetown University,” the horrified lawyer declared. “Second, there is no such thing as a Washington Post article.”
Among his statements, he added that “finally, and most importantly, I have never taken students on a trip of any kind in 35 years of teaching, I have never gone to Alaska with any student, and I have never been accused of sexual harassment or assault.”
“ChatGPT did not contact me or apologize. She has refused to say anything at all. That’s precisely the problem. There is not there. When a newspaper smears you, there is a reporter you can contact. Even when Microsoft’s AI system repeated the same false story, he didn’t get back to me, just shrugging to say he’s trying to be accurate.”
This all comes as President Joe Biden declared that it remains to be seen whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ‘dangerous’.
And it’s not the first case against an AI, as this unsubstantiated claim was reportedly echoed by Microsoft’s Bing Chatbot, which runs on the same GPT-4 technology as its OpenAI brethren.
