Navigating the Complex Landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs) in AI: Potential, Pitfalls, and Responsibilities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently experiencing a significant surge in popularity. Following the viral success of OpenAI’s conversational agent, ChatGPT, the tech industry has been abuzz with excitement about Large Language Models (LLMs), the technology that powers ChatGPT. Tech giants like Google, Meta, and Microsoft, along with well-funded startups such as Anthropic and Cohere, have all launched their own LLM products. Companies across various sectors are rushing to integrate LLMs into their services, with OpenAI counting customers like fintech companies using them for customer service chatbots, edtech platforms like Duolingo and Khan Academy for educational content generation, and even video game companies like Inworld for providing dynamic dialogue for non-playable characters (NPCs). With widespread adoption and a slew of partnerships, OpenAI is on track to achieve annual revenues exceeding one billion dollars.
