The Ramifications of ChatGPT and Other Public Artificial Intelligence Systems

April 25, 2023

After ChatGPT’s capabilities have been tested by the public, concerns are growing over its potential threat to data security and public well-being. Over 1,000 tech industry leaders published an open letter calling for a temporary pause on AI development, with ChatGPT specifically mentioned as an item of concern. They are calling for these systems to be more properly analyzed and for a better understanding of their capabilities to be developed before their continued use. 

A few anxieties surrounding current developing AI systems include the potential for ChatGPT to be used to develop malicious code, personal information being exposed through data given to ChatGPT, and leaks of IP addresses, servers, or sensitive information. Even though ChatGPT was only just launched in November of 2022, by January of 2023, the application had grown to 100 million monthly users. This astronomical growth is distressing to many when even industry experts are struggling to keep up with the pace at which ChatGPT and other AI systems are evolving.


These systems are relatively new to the public, but grow more sophisticated by the second. AI is also frequently able to pass as human or fool the human eye. A Sony World Photography Award has been rejected by an artist because the photo was entirely AI-generated.  A journalist at Insider exchanged several emails with a woman regarding a story about a tattoo on her mastectomy scar she got while recovering from cancer, only to discover the emotional messages were machine-generated. As time goes forward, it seems it will become increasingly common for individuals to be deceived by AI-generated media. 


So what does this mean for the average business and individual? If you or your company are utilizing the many benefits of artificial intelligence, be sure to exercise caution with what information you are providing AI systems. Any sensitive or confidential information should not be provided to ChatGPT or other similar AI programs. As with any new technology, it’s important to prioritize the security of you and your client’s information.
