OpenAI's
ChatGPT has the potential to personalize education by catering to each
student's learning needs, according to the company's CTO.
Mira Murati, who leads the ChatGPT team at OpenAI, told Time magazine that the chatbot "has the potential to really revolutionize the way we learn."
- In
a Q&A with Time, Murati discussed ChatGPT's potential, weaknesses,
and the need to govern AI in a way that aligns with human values.
- When
asked what problems the chatbot is solving, Murati said it could
personalize the learning process. Students could "endlessly converse
with a model to understand a concept in a way that is catered to your
level of understanding," he said.
- The challenges with ChatGPT, and other similar large luggage models, are that they "may make up facts," Murati noted.
- Given
the impact that the technologies will have on society, it's not too
early for policymakers to get involved in regulating AI.
- While
it's important that OpenAI and other companies release AI technology in
responsible and controlled ways, OpenAI is a small organization, and
there is more input needed from "regulators and governments and everyone
else," Murati said.
