Chat, Anyone? [President's Message]

Abstract

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLM) along with their AI cousins focused on images, graphics, math, coding, and audio are dominating our world of generating reports and manuscripts. They can be immensely fun: I asked ChatGPT to write me song lyrics about fuzzy logic in various genres. I wasn't crazy about the folk song, but I really liked ChatGPT's blues lyrics and its bluegrass rendition. And who hasn't chuckled over clever images synthesized by DALL-E? However, these are serious applications with huge potential. Can we get too much of a good thing? We are experiencing, if not the peak, at least the wave of hype, both positive and negative. Many people, including many IEEE members, have signed a letter calling for a six-month “AI Pause”, worried about the potential for moral and ethical misuse of AI. I didn't sign the letter for several reasons, but it is important to have these conversations to focus on what and how to regulate, as well as our own personal interaction with AI programs.
