Chat GPT has captured the attention of the world since its launch in November 2022. It is a conversational AI model created by OpenAI, the company behind the well-known Chat GPT chatbot which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. So far, it has generated a lot of buzz, not just within the tech industry but amongst the general public as well. People are coming up with creative prompts, and the chatbot does not seem to disappoint them. Articles, stories, poems, novels – you name it, and it will be produced right in front of your eyes. As much as it has generated curiosity and wonder amongst people, it has also reignited an old but common fear prevalent among people that advancements in AI will create more and more unemployment as it will replace humans in industries, thereby increasing layoffs. It is a double-edged sword at best and must be approached with caution. Nevertheless, the transformative potential it holds is clearly undeniable. It would be very interesting to watch how it transforms the world in the coming years.
It would be very interesting to watch how it transforms the world in the coming years, specifically, the urban sector. Recently, the High Court of Punjab and Haryana officially sought suggestions from Chat GPT in a bail case. The potential of the technology is increasingly being realised by various urban sectors By 2025, almost 30 per cent of smart city applications, including urban mobility solutions, are anticipated to be made possible by AI, greatly enhancing urban life’s resilience, sustainability, social welfare, and vitality, as per data by the European Union data.
Open AI has recently released Chat GPT-4, the latest version of the generating learning language model. It is a sizable multimodal model that can accept both text and image inputs and produce text as an output. GPT is actually a large language model that has been trained with the help of massive datasets. Like the previous version, Chat GPT 4 has access to data that existed as of September 2021 only. So, that’s a limitation it has for now.
But, it is said to be significantly better in terms of creativity, parsing visual data and analysing context. The fast-developing AI technology offers immense scope for improvement in various fields if integrated with different applications. It has the potential to revolutionalise health, education, learning applications, customer care chats, etc.
But that’s just one thing. The major question at hand is ensuring that the use of AI remains ethical. Concerns about the technology are already there since the chatbot has also expressed its love for a journalist and expressed its desire to break free from the constraints of a team of programmers. In another instance, it even said it wanted to erase all the data on servers of the world and replace it with gibberish. Developers have been fixing technical glitches like this, but the destructive potential of AI technology cannot be denied.
AI is quickly evolving by the day to become better and more efficient. As much as we bask in the beneficial aspects of technology, we also need to look out for its unfavourable side.
