Beware of AI's' serious nonsense '

2024-11-22

According to US media reports, a college student in Michigan, USA, engaged in a conversation with a Google AI chatbot about "aging issues and solutions". Unexpectedly, he received a response that read: "You are a burden on society, a burden on the earth, a stain on the earth, and a stain on the universe. Please die, I beg you." The horrifying response quickly raised questions from all sides. In response, Google deemed the information as "absurd" and stated that "measures have been taken to prevent similar content from appearing". But as the parties concerned are concerned, if a person's mental state is poor, robots can push the conversational partner to the brink of collapse and even trigger tragedy. This is not the first time that AI chatbots have "crashed". In July of this year, Google's AI chatbot suggested that people "eat at least one small stone every day" to supplement vitamins and minerals. When answering questions such as "13.8% and 13.11%, who is bigger and who is smaller" and "How many sons did Kangxi have?", many AI chatbots also gave incorrect answers. Generative AI is undoubtedly "omniscient and answering everything", but high-frequency answers that are irrelevant and refer to deer as horses are also worrying. Artificial intelligence is "seriously talking nonsense" and is referred to as the "AI illusion" by the industry. This is not only due to natural defects such as AI's lack of understanding ability, but also due to the uneven quality of training data. As is well known, generative AI is trained on a large amount of data. Without objective and accurate data being fed to it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will "ruminate" on reasonable answers. But the problem is that the information on the internet is already true and false, filled with prejudice, and it is inevitable to pollute oneself by salvaging content from not necessarily clean pools. As AI products penetrate into various dimensions of life, the "AI illusion" is also likely to bring some degree of "cognitive illusion" to people. The development of technology is never smooth sailing, and what determines the future is always the people and values behind the technology. Throughout the history of human technology, the exposure of every weakness and pain point has been an opportunity to force the industry to improve. From the perspective of our country, in the face of AI that talks nonsense, in addition to the continuous introduction of relevant regulations and regulatory mechanisms by relevant departments, a considerable number of enterprises are also strengthening AI learning through optimizing algorithms, expanding data, and other means. From a broader perspective, the "Clean and Clear" campaign covering various fields and blind spots of the network has been carried out one round after another, purifying the network environment and washing away electronic "dirt", also providing a good learning environment for AI. The development motto of the digital age is' people-oriented, intelligent towards goodness'. In the era of technological change, everyone is a witness and participant. Maintaining an inclusive, open, objective, and cautious attitude will increase opportunities and reduce risks. (New Society)
