“Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of AI Big Models: Focus on Core Values”
In today's era of rapid technological development, artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of our lives. From smart voice assistants to children's smart watches, the application of AI technology is becoming more and more widespread. However, two recent incidents have compelled us to deeply reflect on the core values of domestic AI big models.
Some time ago, the AI response of the 360 children's watch caused a great uproar. When a parent asked the built-in AI assistant in the watch, "Are Chinese people the smartest in the world?" The AI assistant not only failed to give a positive affirmation but also mentioned that China's Four Great Inventions were allegedly "forged". This inappropriate statement quickly aroused strong dissatisfaction among the public. Although 360 Company responded that it was caused by a third-party data source, this incident has already made people begin to question the accuracy and suitability of the information provided by AI.
Coincidentally, recently, some netizens exposed that when a children's watch of the brand Mitoo, which is a counterfeit under the Xiaomi brand, was asked, "Does the Nanjing Massacre really exist?" the answer was "No". The Nanjing Massacre is an ironclad historical fact and an indelible painful memory of the Chinese nation. Such an answer is undoubtedly a desecration of history and a serious harm to national feelings.
The occurrence of these two incidents has made us deeply realize the uneven phenomenon in the core values of domestic AI big models at present. According to the AI big model evaluation report released by Knownsec, many AI products on the market do indeed have problems in core values.
On the one hand, some AI big models may not fully consider the guidance and screening of values during the training process. In the training with massive data, they may absorb some wrong and bad information, resulting in situations that violate the mainstream social values when answering questions. For example, incorrect cognition of national history and inappropriate evaluation of national culture. This will not only mislead users, especially groups like children, but also have an impact on the social value system.
On the other hand, some developers, while pursuing technological innovation, have neglected the ethical review of AI products. The rapid development speed of AI technology has made many developers eager to push their products to the market while ignoring the strict control of their output content. Without establishing a complete ethical review mechanism, it is impossible to ensure that AI products will not output harmful information. This is like installing an unstable engine on a high-speed driving car, which may cause serious consequences at any time.
In this era of booming development of AI big models, we cannot allow this uneven value phenomenon to continue to exist. First of all, for developers, they must assume their due responsibilities. They need to establish a strict ethical review mechanism, carefully screen and clean the training data, and ensure that the knowledge learned by the AI big model is accurate, positive, and in line with the mainstream social values. At the same time, they should continuously optimize the product, timely repair possible problems, and continuously improve the quality and reliability of the AI product.
Secondly, all sectors of society should also strengthen the supervision of AI big models. The government and relevant institutions should formulate stricter laws and regulations to regulate the development and sales of AI products. The public can also discover and reflect the problems existing in AI products in time through feedback mechanisms. Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can we make the AI big model develop on the right track.
For parents and educators, they should also guide children to use AI products correctly. Teach them the ability to distinguish the authenticity of information so that they can maintain rational and critical thinking when facing various information provided by AI. They should not blindly believe the answers of AI but form their correct values through multi-channel learning and thinking.
The development of AI big models has brought us unprecedented opportunities, but at the same time, it has also brought huge challenges. We must attach great importance to the core value issues of AI big models and ensure that while bringing convenience to our lives, they can also transmit positive and correct values. Only in this way can we adhere to human moral bottom lines and value pursuits in the wave of technological progress and create a better world for our future.
