Abstract:

This paper analyses the ethical implications of ChatGPT AI chatbot, a popular natural language processing model. The study gives a background and literature analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, ethical considerations for chatbot and conversational agents, and existing research on the ethical implications of ChatGPT AI after presenting the technology and describing the complexities of its ethical implications. The section on ethical implications examines possible issues such as privacy concerns; bias; fairness issues, malicious usage, and the influence on human interaction and social skills. The paper then criticizes present ethical rules and regulations and recommends modifications for ChatGPT AI ethical principles. Case studies and examples provide the moral quandaries in ChatGPT AI chatbot usage, successful ethical implementations, and lessons gained. This review outlines the relevance of ethical issues in the processes of construction and deployment of the ChatGPT AI chatbot, the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach to handle its moral implications, and the last thoughts and recommendations for ethical implementation.
