  At present, the ethical problems of AI have aroused global concern. To avoid the misuse of AI technology, all parties need to strengthen cooperation and balance the efficiency of technological innovation and the strength of ethical regulation.


  ChatGPT, which has gained 100 million active users in its first two months, is experiencing "unpredictability." In late March, a group of heavyweight AI experts and industry executives signed an open letter calling for a moratorium on the development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months, calling them "a potential risk to society and humanity. Since March 31, Italy has banned the use of ChatGPT, and Germany and Canada have stepped in to ban the use of ChatGPT or adopt stricter regulations on AI for data protection reasons.


  What are they worried about? It is the social risk that AI technology may pose in terms of information leakage and other aspects. This risk will be further amplified with its huge user scale, jeopardizing personal privacy and data security, and once exploited by people with ulterior motives, bringing unimaginable bad effects. In the near future, the bias and discrimination caused by the algorithm will also affect the fairness of artificial intelligence judgment.


  It is a common perception that every technological revolution will lead to a huge leap in social productivity and a change in production and lifestyle, thus promoting the development of the world economy and improving people's living standards. However, as the development of science and technology continues to advance, the number of uncharted territories is increasing, and people are prone to fall into the beautiful trap woven by technology while enjoying the convenience brought by science and technology. Only with the sword of rules and laws can we cut the vine of the barbaric growth of artificial intelligence technology.


  At present, the existence of artificial intelligence ethical issues have aroused global concern. UNESCO recently issued a statement that industry self-regulation is not yet enough to avoid this ethical crisis in science and technology, calling on governments to implement the first global agreement on the ethics of AI adopted by the organization - the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence - as soon as possible. The Recommendation provides tools to ensure that the development of AI adheres strictly to the law, avoids causing harm, and initiates mechanisms for accountability and redress when harm occurs.


  Science and technology should be more upward and good, based on not shaking human existence and ensuring that the direction of science and technology is in line with the common values of all mankind in order to provide inexhaustible power for the progress of human civilization. The AI revolution in the digital era is spreading rapidly around the world, and the series of controversies triggered by ChatGPT precisely show that issues such as protecting data privacy and circumventing prejudice and discrimination will become important prerequisites for the deep integration of AI into social life.


  The government, relevant organizations and enterprises, etc. need to strengthen cooperation to balance the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation and the strength of ethical regulation, especially to regulate the social responsibility and code of conduct of the subjects of scientific and technological activities, so as to avoid the misuse of AI technology and make the achievements of science and technology better benefit the people.
