ChatGPT: Demystifying the AI Fever
George Petasis and George Giannakopoulos have spent their lives working on artificial intelligence systems. Additionally, they are the people who trained two generative AI models just for us to have a live chat with on stage, for the SNF Dialogues “Humanity-AI Symbiosis” event during the SNF Nostos 2021. In fact, someone could say that we tried to do then what the entire world is trying to do today with ChatGPT. Two years later, the frenzy over the capabilities and risks of AI development and its incursion into our daily lives is more relevant than ever. Therefore, we called on George Petasis and George Giannakopoulos, to unpack what is going on with ChatGPT and AI today.
In a discussion with Phoebe Fronista, they explain how ChatGPT systems reflect humanity, what ethical and legal issues arise, as well as their need to be democratized and openly accessible to all.
I think that we have just scratched the surface of the usages of AI models, and we are at the very beginning of this process.

AI has ended up being self-reflection, so that we can discuss what parts we can improve and how we can overcome racism, biases, but also intercultural changes.
