At present, large-language model artificial intelligence technologies and products (hereinafter referred to as "class technology") are booming, and the known ethical risks are mainly caused by the following aspects.

First, the risk of AI plagiarism. A variety of technologies feed on massive amounts of information, and then imitate human thinking patterns according to demand, process, organize and output relevant information. This process can be understood as a high-level "brushing" process, and its ability to avoid "duplication checking" will become stronger and stronger. In the future, any field that needs to output text information, such as scientific research, news, administration, advertising, etc., may encounter ubiquitous plagiarism risks, resulting in more academic misconduct, creative plagiarism, intellectual property infringement, etc.

The second is the risk of information leakage. Technology-like "eating" information is not picky, including personal privacy information, government sensitive information, company business secrets, etc. This will lead to a higher level of intelligence. In the future, we will have to make a balance and trade-off between improving AI capabilities and protecting data security.

The third is the risk of protection of minors. Classic technologies can be used as a search engine with highly evolved capabilities and have super-information retrieval and integration capabilities. This has given minors another super weapon to obtain bad information through the Internet. It should be noted that for teenagers with strong learning abilities, it will not be too difficult to deceive and obtain bad information.

Fourth, the risk of value penetration. Like all network technologies and products before, technology itself has no value orientation, but it is easy to implant a certain value that you want to convey by developing, training, and maintaining it. It is impossible to achieve "unable" by "inserting private goods." The purpose of accusing the person.”

Fifth, the risk of unemployment for workers. As a technology developed by humans, the core function of a kind of technology must serve human beings and bring convenience to society. But like all technological advances, large-scale applications will inevitably replace some of the existing human jobs with machines (AI). Unlike the main replacement of manual laborers since the industrial era, Chat GPT will replace a considerable number of mental workers, which we commonly call "white-collar workers".

Sixth, the risk of malicious transformation. After the technology is put on the market, everyone is its "trainer". This means that if you intend to feed this "children who are "inexperienced in the world" to bad information, it is likely to be trained to become "bad youth".

Regarding the above ethical risks, the author thinks and suggestions from the following six points.

First, it is about dealing with the risk of AI plagiarism. It is recommended that anti-plagiarism tools be developed simultaneously when developing tools to protect the rights and interests of original creators and facilitate their rights protection when they are plagiarized. In addition, it is necessary to form normative requirements for all kinds of serious documents to actively mark content when generating content with the help of Chat? GPT technology.

The second is about dealing with information leakage. Fundamentally, we must strengthen information security management, such as adding AI-friendly labels to various information and data on the Internet, so that various technologies and products can clearly know which information they "eat" into is a privacy that cannot be disclosed. , confidential and disputed information so that content can be avoided as much as possible.

The third is about protecting minors. Like the current video app, it is necessary to develop a green version for minors. This green version can be directly open to all netizens for use. For a more powerful and open full-featured version, users can be required to provide relevant proof of their adulthood just like managing online games.

Fourth, it is about dealing with the risk of value penetration. The most important thing in this regard is to strengthen the research and development of our own products and minimize the "import" dependence on such products. Only when independent products have the absolute advantage can the advocated values ​​reflect overwhelming advantages in the content output by such products. Enterprises that provide products and services can be managed in accordance with the law at the "root" level, so that the main body of the enterprise can actively avoid penetration risks.

Fifth, it is about dealing with the risk of unemployment for workers. The emergence, development and application of similar technologies will further liberate human beings and free human beings from more heavy and repetitive intellectual labor, which will benefit more than disadvantages to human society. We must adjust and adapt as soon as possible. In the era after the widespread use of various technologies, factors such as whether they will be replaced when cultivating talents are required, just like when cultivating technicians, we must consider the impact of intelligent manufacturing technology.

Sixth, it is about dealing with the risk of malicious transformation. Comprehensively improve the technical ethical standards related to AI, and mandatoryly require AI products to have basic right and wrong judgments that conform to public order and good customs. At the same time, it guides developers to strengthen the ability of various technologies to identify malicious information, so that they can "reject" reactions to malicious information, actively refuse to "eat" and not use it as the "raw material" for their own growth and evolution.

Classic technologies are still on the eve of the outbreak and are still in rapid iteration, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. For AI technologies and robot-related technologies, we must spare no effort to ensure that the application of technology complies with the common ethical standards of mankind, serves personal development, obeys national norms, and benefits all mankind. This cannot be deviated from this point.
