The Ethical Dilemma with Open AI ChatGPT: Is it Right or Wrong to prohibit it?

Abstract

Digitalisation and innovation in learning and research are rapidly becoming crucial drivers of society's sustainable and progressive growth. AI's technological advancements and landscapes have significant strengths, and their diversity and quality have grown in recent years. This has facilitated the impressive development of AI apps and software, such as ChatGPT, which has become popular around the world. ChatGPT is an OpenAI access to users in education to generate essays, song lyrics and stories. It is an AI language model that can understand and generate human-like responses to text inputs, making it a valuable tool for various economic and cultural applications. This study examines the ethical dilemma of banning ChatGPT. Using a range of argumentative examples, I address the concept of moral obligations to OpenAI access but also its limitations. Some possible ethical issues that may arise in the use of AI-powered chatbots include concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential for chatbots to replace human interaction and support. Can OpenAI's cutting-edge technology and tools truly help corporate operations and institutions, and improve decision-making? Can it also give students and researchers significant resources to help them develop their knowledge, critical thinking skills and understanding in a variety of fields? Allowing ChatGPT to operate freely could lead to unintended consequences, but it could also promote innovation in the field of AI. Ultimately, finding a balance between regulation and innovation is key to maximising the benefits of ChatGPT while minimising its potential harms. AI software has the potential to degrade and debase our ethics, which are fundamentally different from our critical thinking. Chomsky, Roberts & Watumull concern is that AI software lacks the ability to understand and apply ethical principles in the same way that humans do, which could lead to unintended consequences and ethical dilemmas.
