MOSCOW, May 4.Craig Martell, director of digital technology and artificial intelligence at the Pentagon, said in an interview with Breaking Defense that he was wary of generative AI systems like ChatGPT. />According to Martell, such systems do not understand the context, but at the same time they answer questions «authoritatively.»
«So you trust it (the system. — Note ed.), even when it is wrong. <…> And that means she's the perfect tool for disinformation,» he clarified.
The Pentagon does not have the tools to detect disinformation and warn about it, the source added.
The administration of US President Joe Biden, as reported , has already started looking into validating AI-based programs such as the ChatGPT chatbot. The head of Google, Sundar Pichai, said that the development of AI and its implementation in everyday life could lead to an increase in the scale of disinformation.
The chatbot ChatGPT was launched in November 2022, it is owned by OpenAI. The service gathered its first million users in less than a week. One of its co-founders in 2015 was the American billionaire Elon Musk, who later severed ties with the startup.
