Human Resources: Is ChatGPT A Fad?
It'll be years before we can say, with certainty, whether generative A.I. is a revolution or a fad.
No one doubts that A.I. (more generally) is revolutionary and indeed it's already revolutionized our lives in ways most people aren't even aware of. But as it relates specifically to the generative A.I. applications that took the world by storm late last year and in early 2023, I still see elevated "fad risk," if you will.
My experience with DeFi last year left me cautious about grandiose claims
Indeed scary. I did laugh at point 2, last line. Thanks!
The part of AI that scares me the most is the cybersecurity aspects. With deep learning systems, it has been shown that, not only can biases be introduced by the ordering of training data but completely undetectable backdoors can be placed into the systems by unscrupulous third-party trainers. Even systems like ChatGPT have security vulnerabilities that researchers are just now starting to map out. Companies that jump onto this band-wagon without weighing these risks could create major liabilities for themselves.
In some ways the nasty unintended consequences of AI are a comfort to me, at least. These bad outcomes that may result in the loss of customers, unforeseen liabilities and lawsuits should soon be able to naturally regulate the spread of this opaque disruptor. My hope is that in its annual rush for political donations, Congress will not make the same mistake it made with the internet by being too anxious to cash in without putting any limits on its expansion and the unwarranted protection of its users at our expense.
