Preliminary moral reflections on Large Language Models
06 April 2023 16:00 till 18:00 | Add to my calendar
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT or LaMDA are often presented as a breakthrough in AI because of their ability to write convincing texts in a matter of seconds and when presented only with a short opening sentence. In philosophy specifically, there are concerns about LLMs displacing the opportunities for critical reasoning through the act of writing and the consequent educational challenges in this regard.
In this paper, I explore the critical appropriation of LLMs, occasionally referring to higher education as a context. Crucial points here will be the power relations with the corporate sector and the environmental aspects of using LLMs, as well as the questions of confidentiality and privacy. I will sketch an overview of concerns and opportunities, as well as new responsibilities for the informed use of ChatGPT, and gear towards a perspective of human-AI collaboration and sustainable appropriation.
