ChatGPT. Generating chat or cheating, change and chaos?


Listen Later

Everyone is fascinated by ChatGPT - the latest impressive iteration of machine learning, which can deliver articulate and readable responses to natural language questions. It joins a burgeoning array of so-called ‘generative’ technologies, a form of Artificial Intelligence that can create its own images, text, speech or search.

The possibilities are endless – and not just for obvious use cases like chatbots or producing articles. Could these types of generative AI design drugs? Write code? Produce whole feature films? And what risks does this pose - will we see deepfakes scamming consumers, students’ essays faked by machine? Do we face a future where we can’t tell what is real and what is a cheat?

Euroconsumers’ Start Talking webinar will explain the technology, how it’s trained and how it might be used and discuss with a panel of experts from industry, academia and consumer research what it could all mean:

· Is it a flash in the pan that will burn out or are we at the point of no return for general purpose AI?

· What will consumer applications look like and how will consumers respond?

· Will content-driven sectors, which includes consumer publications, be replaced by machines?

· What might be the uses and abuses of generative technologies like ChatGPT that can create near-perfect human-like interactions?

· Is the EU AI Act ready to tackle some of the ethical and safety risks of advanced generative tech like ChatGPT – or will it be out of date before it’s published?
