Thank you for your comment on the mechanics of ChatGPT's prediction and the concerns around the transparency and potential risks associated with its use in critical applications.

You are correct that ChatGPT is a complex deep learning model that uses millions of statistical calculations and tensor transformations to generate responses. The fact that the models are black boxes and even their creators cannot definitively explain their behavior can indeed pose significant challenges for auditing and ensuring the accuracy and fairness of their outputs.

As you pointed out, these challenges become especially important when the predictions made by these models have real-world consequences, such as in healthcare or autonomous driving. While OpenAI has made significant progress in developing powerful AI models like ChatGPT, it is crucial that researchers and practitioners also consider the social, moral, and ethical implications of their work.

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the responsible development and deployment of AI, including efforts to address issues such as bias, fairness, accountability, and transparency. As part of these efforts, many researchers and organizations are working on developing methods to better audit and interpret the behavior of AI models like ChatGPT.

While there is still much work to be done, I believe that increased attention to the social and ethical implications of AI research is an important step towards ensuring that these technologies are developed and deployed in ways that benefit society as a whole.

They also highlight the importance of engaging with stakeholders and working collaboratively across different disciplines to ensure that AI is developed and deployed in ways that align with societal values and priorities.

(Note by AC: ChatGPT was used to respond to this comment to check if I could get a meaningful response. I found it lacking because the response was not granular enough. However, it still is a competent response for the general public.)




I could tell that this was generated by ChatGPT within two or three words. It's very funny that the link it selected for OpenAI's own ethical initiative leads to a 404.

Nevertheless, it failed to comprehend my point. I am not talking about ethical AI... I am talking about _auditable_ AI... an AI where a human can look at a decision made by the system and understand "why" it made that decision.

Almost nobody writes so formally and politely on HN, so the fact that it is ChatGPT output is obvious by the first or second sentence.
