The Information Center for Decision Support at the Council of Ministers highlighted the ChatGPT application, noting that since the application was launched in November 2022, it has been able to attract more than 100 million users, and the market value of the American company that developed it (OpenAI) has reached regarding 30%. billion dollars, which makes it the fastest growing application in history.
In this context, the company (OpenAI) announced, on March 14, 2023, the launch of the new version (GPT-4), which is the improved version of the (GPT-3.5) model on which the chat bot (ChatGPT) was built, and this new version has many advantages. Of the advanced capabilities compared to the old ones, and due to the amazing capabilities of the application; It sparked a wide debate, and raised many questions regarding what the application is, the difference between (GPT-3.5) and (GPT-4), its mechanism of action, its importance, and its most prominent uses, as well as its implications for the lifestyle of people and societies, in terms of its effects. On the field of human learning and research, the decision-making process, and standards of governance, as well as its impact on the future of jobs and business opportunities, and finally the potential risks to the national security of countries.
The Information Center indicated that the chatbot (ChatGPT) operates on the (GPT) system, which is one of the large language models or algorithms that operate with the most diverse, flexible, and predictable artificial intelligence techniques among the different models. As it is powered by machine learning, huge amounts of data and information; This enables him to conduct conversations in a realistic manner with users and respond to all complex inquiries and questions that they ask him, in addition to being able to write and compose musical notes, write code, solve mathematical equations, write novels, stories, poems, articles, dissertations and scientific theses, in addition to the possibility of using it from Scholars were accepted to translate their original works from their mother tongue into English. The mechanism of action of this new technology is to collect a huge number of data from electronic sources on the Internet, and then provide the appropriate answers and responses to the questions that are asked within a few seconds. Which can be considered as one of the great turning points in modern human history.
It is worth noting that the developer (OpenAI) claims that the new model (GPT-4) is distinguished from its predecessor by being more creative, accurate in information, and less biased. The most important differences are that the new model (GPT-4) is a multimedia model; It has the ability to analyze texts and images at the same time; Which allows users to ask questions regarding the images they enter, and is characterized by its ability to perform some basic logical operations such as summarizing texts and articles, as well as the new model has a variety of personalities or what is called “steerability”, which means its ability to change its behavior and the way His speech, compared to (GPT-3.5), which is characterized by stability, whether in style or tone, and in addition to that, the (GPT-4) model is characterized by the ability to process a larger number of data and information entered into it.
The information center pointed out the versatility of (ChatGPT) in various fields; It can be used in writing, authoring, translating, and editing texts, given its ability to detect linguistic and grammatical errors, in addition to the possibility of using it in the field of marketing, , and the content industry, through its ability to prepare and campaigns in creative ways, in addition to its use in knowing the most prominent developments. And developments in the field of information technology and artificial intelligence technologies, as well as the distinction of the application with its ability to carry out technical support tasks, design, programming and development of websites, as well as (ChatGPT) can help in scheduling tasks, planning and time management.
It is worth noting; The importance of (ChatGPT) lies in its enormous ability to deal with a wide range of topics and various writing styles, as well as to answer complex questions, and to provide instructions that contribute to solving problems in various fields, but despite this, care must be taken when using the application, whether through (GPT-4) or (GPT-3.5), in light of its impact on human learning and research, as the (ChatGPT) application and all artificial intelligence tools do not apply to the factors and conditions that apply to humans in the learning and research process, which is the experience Error, correction, and deduction, in addition to other psychological factors, are also not subject to human restrictions, on top of which are the restrictions of time, effort, illness, and rest. This may lead people to rely entirely on machines and digital tools in relation to the process of learning, thinking, research, and all other life activities, which may consequently lead to a reduction and disruption of people’s ability to memorize information or exert the required effort in research and learning, and thus the creation of ideas and theories. new.
In this context, the implications related to the impact of the (ChatGPT) application on the process of learning and research in the education sector at the global level are highlighted, in the recent trend of a large number of students and teachers towards relying on (ChatGPT) in the educational process, as well as its use by some as a means For cheating in exams or “scientific plagiarism.” A recent survey by the Walton Family and Impact Research found that 51 percent of teachers and many students use ChatGPT in schools there, another survey of 1,000 American colleges found. 30% of the students used (ChatGPT) in written assignments or assignments. It should be noted that the reliance of researchers on the techniques and capabilities of (ChatGPT) in authoring and writing articles, reports and scientific research, may cause the dissemination of false information, in addition to the fact that it will question the research and science published at the academic level.
Despite these previous negatives, (ChatGPT) has many important advantages in terms of facilitating scientific research operations. As it is expected that reliance on it will increase to help scientists make new discoveries, analyze data, and improve experiments. It will also save effort and time for students and researchers in writing scientific research papers in several ways, including writing, summarizing, or translating the text in a short period and with great accuracy, in addition to its ability to previous literature review; This will contribute to enhancing the quality and quantity of intellectual and scientific productivity.
As for the decision-making process and governance standards, although ChatGPT’s AI technology is smart and efficient in generating ideas, making decisions, easing business burden and reducing bureaucracy by accelerating routine and automated tasks, it has some risks related to the possibility of undermining The foundations and standards of the governance system, whether within governments, companies, or organizations, which is what is called “Algocracy” in social systems; Where artificial intelligence algorithms are replaced by politicians and decision makers, so that the “machine learning” technology in (ChatGPT) is used to create predictive models and solutions for rapid decision-making, or what is known as (Predictive Governance).
This involves many potential risks, especially in terms of government decisions, especially military and security decisions in the defense and police institutions, in addition to the decisions of health institutions. As it is possible for (ChatGPT) to take decisive decisions with serious social, political, economic and humanitarian implications, and in this context the risk of exposing (ChatGPT) to the risk of privacy violation and leakage of personal data, especially in sectors such as: banking services, health care, and then it is possible This will result in reducing the chances of activating information technology governance in government or private institutions.
Regarding the repercussions of the application of (ChatGPT) on the future of jobs and job opportunities, especially with regard to the possibility that it will lead to the disappearance of some jobs, and the possibility of replacing it with the human element in various jobs, opinions were divided on this matter between two directions, as follows; The first trend: It believes that the (ChatGPT) application will play a complementary and auxiliary role alongside the human element, and that humans cannot be dispensed with regardless of the development of artificial intelligence capabilities, especially given that the latter may make some mistakes, and may give some misleading and inaccurate information, so It is likely that the application will contribute to refining and enhancing human skills to perform tasks efficiently and effectively in various fields. It will be an important tool that can be used to automate routine and automated processes. This saves time and effort for the human element to focus on developing and using skills that the machine does not yet possess, which in turn will lead to enhanced productivity and the speed of completing tasks.
And the second trend: it is expected that the application (ChatGPT) will involve potential threats to job opportunities and human jobs, especially from university graduates and beginners; As it may lead to the disappearance of some jobs in the long term to replace the human element, especially with regard to office jobs and the financial and technological sectors. In this context, some estimates indicate that the (ChatGPT) application is expected to replace regarding 20% of employees and workers during the next five years. It should be noted here that some American companies have already replaced the (ChatGPT) application with some of their employees. to provide its financial resources.
In addition, despite the advantages enjoyed by the (ChatGPT) application, it has several potential drawbacks and security risks in the long run; It can serve as a tool to develop the capacities and capabilities of “cyber criminals”, “malicious actors”, “hackers” and “scammers”, as they can adapt This technology is used to carry out “cyber espionage”, launch “cyber attacks”, and “ransomware attacks”, which may pose a potential threat to the security of states and governments.
Its danger to national security also lies in the possibility of it publishing misleading information. Where the application was asked to prepare a study on Corona vaccines using the “media disinformation” method, and indeed a complete misleading study was produced with various statistics and references, and this matter would contribute to the possibility of spreading rumors and false news.
The analysis stated that the use of the (ChatGPT) application and artificial intelligence bots may also include its use of artificial intelligence algorithms as a means of polarizing a specific thought, organization, or ideology that may be violent or racist, as this “automated mind” can be fed, programmed, and developed with extremist information and ideas if it controls the application. Extremist or racist mentality.
At the end of its analysis, the center stressed that in addition to the many advantages of artificial intelligence tools, on top of which is the (ChatGPT) application, which can contribute to saving more time and effort and enhancing productivity in various fields, it may also involve a large number of risks. Therefore, the point of balance required in this regard is to try to achieve coexistence and creative synergy between human intelligence, artificial intelligence, and societal controls.
