Debate: Will ChatGPT Do More Harm Than Good? with Gary Marcus and Keith Teare

It’s poised to “change our world.” That’s according to Bill Gates, referencing an advanced AI chatbot called ChatGPT, which seems to be all the rage. The tool, which was developed by OpenAI and backed by a company Gates founded, Microsoft, effectively takes questions from users and produces human-like responses. The "GPT" stands "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," which denotes the design and nature of the artificial intelligence training. And yet despite the chatbot’s swelling popularity, it’s also not without controversy. Everything from privacy and ethical questions to growing concerns about the data it utilizes, has some concerned about the effects it will ultimately have on society. Its detractors fear job loss, a rise in disinformation, and even the compromising long-term effects it could have on humans’ capacity for reason and writing. Its advocates tout the advantages ChatGPT will inevitably lend organizations, its versatility and iterative ability, and the depth and diversity of the data from which it pulls. Against this backdrop, we debate the following question: Will ChatGPT do more harm than good?

Arguing yes is Gary F. Marcus, a professor emeritus of psychology and neural science at New York University and an author. In 2014, he founded Geometric Intelligence, a machine-learning company. He is co-author of "Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust," called one of the seven "must-read" books about artificial intelligence by Forbes Magazine. His other books include "Guitar Zero" and "Kluge."

Arguing no is Keith Teare, founder and CEO at SignalRank Corporation. Previously he was executive chairman at Accelerated Digital Ventures Ltd. – a U.K.-based global investment company focused on startups at all stages. Teare studied at the University of Kent, and is the author of "The Easy Net Book" and "Under Siege." He writes regularly for TechCrunch and publishes 'That Was The Week' newsletter.
