There\u2019s no end of sci-fi movies about the end of the world being brought on by self-aware AI tools.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re watching universities and other educators working out how to test students when ChatGPT can do such a good job. That\u2019s because it\u2019s a language model tool.<\/strong> The clue is in the name \u201cChat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer\u201d and it uses language patterns to create content based on what it has seen before, which is a lot.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/OpenAI.jpg” title_text=”OpenAI” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n For example, ask ChatGPT to write an election manifesto for an environmental group, and you will get a strong, but predictable output. That\u2019s because it\u2019s not creative and it can only repeat content. The nearest it gets is if you have a bit of fun, for example, try \u201cwrite an election manifesto for an environmental group as a country and western song\u201d. But even then, there are no new ideas.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We are already seeing machine learning being used in cyber-security<\/strong>, to look for adverse patterns and defend against them.\u00a0 There are AI tools in our new KARE Foundation support plans<\/a>, as part of the end-point protection, monitoring 365 and things like inbound email content.<\/p>\n But can these same technologies be used against us?<\/strong> ChatGPT can write code, and place that skill in the hands of a broader audience, but the current generation is spitting sub-standard and unreliable code,<\/strong> and it\u2019s limited to content prior to 2021. That will change, and while it has a lot to learn, that development is clearly ongoing and accelerating.\u00a0 NIST just put out a paper<\/a> that lays out the standards for responsible AI. It\u2019s a daunting read, covering the roles of AI actors, the risks of the reliability and bias of the source content, the learning regimes, complexity, privacy and so on. The implication is that there is an emerging discipline around the governance of AI tools such as ChatGPT and more importantly, it\u2019s successors. Not surprisingly, OpenAI, the developers of ChatGPT, are encouraging the debate and have released papers on the topic.<\/a> The challenge is that most people will skip right over this and just see how they can use it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_testimonial author=”ChatGPT” job_title=”Original Songwriter” portrait_url=”http:\/\/kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/OpenAILogo.png” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n (Verse 1) Well, the world’s in a mess, it’s time for a change, This country needs leaders who won’t act so strange, We’re an environmental group, and we’re here to say, We’ll fight for Mother Nature each and every day.<\/p>\n (Chorus) We’re the Green Country Riders, riding for the land, Protecting our planet with a firm, caring hand, Clean air, clean water, that’s what we strive, In this election, let our message thrive.<\/p>\n (Verse 2) We’ll reduce carbon emissions, it’s time to go green\u2026<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\nHowever, the challenge remains that what has gone before is enough to cause concern.<\/h3>\n
So can the criminal community harness ChatGPT and similar tools to help them commit their crimes?<\/h3>\n
