Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Generative AI can cause ethical risks and issues related to misinformation and data privacy. Some generative AI ethical concerns include:

• Hallucination
• Plagiarism
• Copyright
• Discrimination
• Fairness
• Transparency
• Privacy
• Harmful Content

Watch the video below to get an overview of generative AI ethical concerns about data security and privacy.

• You should always take a close look at the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the AI tool you are using, so you have an understanding about the service, what you are allowed to do, and what happens with any data you provide.
• There are ongoing privacy concerns and uncertainties about how AI systems harvest personal data from users. Some of this personal information, like phone numbers, is voluntarily given by the user.
• AI systems are also harvesting information like the user’s IP address and their activity while using the service. This is an important consideration when using AI in an educational context, as some students may not feel comfortable having their personal information tracked and saved.
•  OpenAI may share aggregated personal information with third parties in order to analyse usage of ChatGPT. While this information is only shared in aggregate after being de-identified (i.e., stripped of data that could identify users), users should be aware that they no longer have control of their personal information after it is provided to a system like ChatGPT.
