Dear Listers,

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that developed the controversial consumer-facing artificial intelligence application ChatGPT, has warned that the technology comes with real dangers as it reshapes society. 

“I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation,” Altman said. “Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, [they] could be used for offensive cyber-attacks.”

What is KICTANet Doing?

For KICTANet, M John Walubengo has taken time to look at some of the emerging issues since discourse around ChatGPT emerged.  This is inline with our 'Stakeholder engagement" where through this platform, we are able to discuss emerging issues within  the ICT sector nationally, regionally and globally with an aim of having an amicable stand on the issues.

Below are some of the issues he has written about.

1. AI Driven Profiling Is More Pervasive Than We Think.
   
2. The Darkside of Artificial Intelligence 
   
3. AI – What Are The Legal and Ethical Dimensions
   
4. ChatGPT – What it is and Why You Should Care

Kind Regards,

David Indeje
