Integrity at Zicklin School of Baruch College, this lecture focuses on the

new OpenAI’s  ChatGPT. Last November 2022, OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT, a free chatbot that

creates text using AI technology. ChatGPT demonstrates remarkable abilities,

such as passing exams from law, business, and medical schools and its

text-generation capabilities have also been used for simpler tasks such as to

writing Shakespearean sonnets, discussing complicated topics, and composing

heartfelt love songs. As the hype around ChatGPT continues to grow, new ethical

concerns are emerging about the development and use of AI tools.

Professor Yafit Lev-Aretz and Professor Nizan Packin discuss the current state

of ethics in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the importance

of responsible AI in today’s society. Participants will have the opportunity to

engage in the discussion, ask questions, and share their own experiences and

perspectives on the ethical considerations of ChatGPT.
