Moderated by David Rosenberg, Professor from the Center for Corporate
Integrity at Zicklin School of Baruch College, this lecture focuses on the
new OpenAI’s  ChatGPT. Last November 2022, OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT, a free chatbot that
creates text using AI technology. ChatGPT demonstrates remarkable abilities,
such as passing exams from law, business, and medical schools and its
text-generation capabilities have also been used for simpler tasks such as to
writing Shakespearean sonnets, discussing complicated topics, and composing
heartfelt love songs. As the hype around ChatGPT continues to grow, new ethical
concerns are emerging about the development and use of AI tools.


In the chat,
Professor Yafit Lev-Aretz and Professor Nizan Packin discuss the current state
of ethics in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the importance
of responsible AI in today’s society. Participants will have the opportunity to
engage in the discussion, ask questions, and share their own experiences and
perspectives on the ethical considerations of ChatGPT.
