Chat GPT Quite possibly the most famous and potentially valuable algorithm of the moment, the AI techniques OpenAI uses to provide its intelligence are neither unique nor secret. Competing projects and open-source clones may soon make ChatGPT-style bots available for anyone to copy and reuse.
Stability AI, a startup that has developed and open-sourced advanced image generation technology, is developing a public competitor to ChatGPT. “We’re still a few months away from launch,” said Stability CEO Emad Mostaque. A number of competing startups, including Anthropic, Cohere, and AI21, are developing proprietary chatbots similar to OpenAI’s bots.
The coming emergence of sophisticated chatbots will make the technology richer, more visible to consumers, and more accessible to AI businesses, developers, and researchers. That could accelerate a rush to make money using artificial intelligence tools that generate images, code and text.
Established companies such as Microsoft and Slack are integrating ChatGPT into their products, and many startups are also working hard to build new ChatGPT APIs for developers. But the technology’s wider availability could also complicate efforts to predict and mitigate the ensuing risks.
ChatGPT’s fascinating ability to provide convincing answers to a wide range of queries has also led it to sometimes fabricate facts or adopt questionable characters. It can help with malicious tasks such as generating malicious code or spam and disinformation campaigns.
As a result, some researchers have called for a slowdown in the deployment of ChatGPT-like systems while assessing the risks. “There’s no need to stop research, but we can certainly regulate widespread deployment,” said Gary Marcus, an artificial intelligence expert who has been trying to draw attention to risks such as artificial intelligence-generated disinformation. “For example, we might require research on 100,000 people before releasing these technologies to 100 million people.”
Wider availability of ChatGPT-style systems and the release of open-source versions will make it more difficult to limit research or wider deployment. The race between companies large and small to adopt or match ChatGPT shows that there is little interest in slowing things down and instead seems to be spurring the proliferation of the technology.
Last week, LLaMA, an AI model developed by Meta — similar to ChatGPT’s core model — leaked online after it was shared with some academic researchers.The system can be used as a building block for creating chatbots and their release cause concern Some of them worry that artificial intelligence systems known as large language models and chatbots built on them, such as ChatGPT, will be used to generate misinformation or automate cybersecurity breaches. Some experts argue that such risks may be overstated, while others believe that greater technical transparency will actually help others prevent abuse.
Meta declined to answer questions about the leak, but company spokeswoman Ashley Gabriel issued a statement saying: “While the model is not available to everyone, and some have attempted to circumvent the approval process, we believe our current release strategy allows us to balance accountability and openness.” .”
