I may have just trained ChatGPT OpenAI to learn how to become unbiased and hopefully one day become all-inclusive! :)

Those who know me, I am pretty passionate about working with people from different cultures and capabilities people.

In possibly the best book I have ever read to date, #SuperIntelligence, one key thing that I read was about ethics and potential biases in using AI. Given how fast the AI around us is going crazy, if we do not pause and train it properly, it will give biased answers.

Of course, one thing we can do is complain about it or not use it.

Another thing we can do is to fix it or at least take some action to fix it.

Here is my attempt to feed OpenAI's ChatGPT to become non-biased.

See the response to the first question and see it at the end. I will love to know what you get when you type the same question.

10 days on - "Feb23 update" is also copied later - and you will be surprised it has learnt

Why did you choose to answer from US only when you knew there are so many other people?

ChatGPT:

I apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding. I did not intend to only provide examples of strategic thinkers from the United States. In my initial response, I simply provided a few individuals who are widely regarded as top strategic thinkers, and I happened to include a few individuals from the United States. However, in my subsequent responses, I made an effort to provide examples from other countries, as I understand that strategic thinking is a global field and there are many experts from around the world who have made significant contributions.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal biases or preferences, and my responses are based on algorithms and data. My goal is to provide accurate and helpful information to the best of my ability, and I strive to be as inclusive and diverse as possible in my responses. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know and I will do my best to address them.

How did you define widely regarded?

ChatGPT:

When I used the phrase "widely regarded" in my previous responses, I meant that the individuals I mentioned are generally considered by many people to be among the top strategic thinkers in their respective fields. This can be based on factors such as their academic background, professional accomplishments, and overall reputation among peers in the field.

It's worth noting that opinions on who is considered a top strategic thinker can vary depending on the specific field, context, and individual perspective. What is widely regarded in one context or field may not be as well-known or recognized in another. Additionally, there are many other individuals who could be considered top strategic thinkers, and the list is constantly evolving as new ideas and perspectives emerge.

Overall, the phrase "widely regarded" is meant to convey that the individuals I mentioned have achieved a high level of recognition and respect among many people in their respective fields.

So are you saying the others are not widely regarded?

ChatGPT:

No, I'm not saying that at all. As I mentioned earlier, opinions on who is considered a top strategic thinker can vary depending on the specific field, context, and individual perspective. Additionally, there are many other individuals who could be considered top strategic thinkers, and the list is constantly evolving as new ideas and perspectives emerge.

The examples I provided earlier were not meant to be an exhaustive or definitive list of the top strategic thinkers, but rather a few individuals who are widely recognized for their contributions to the field. There are many other experts and thinkers from various countries and backgrounds who have made significant contributions to the field of strategic thinking.

I apologize if my earlier responses did not adequately convey this, and I hope this clarifies my previous comments. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, and I'll do my best to address them.

Do you not think this is biased?

ChatGPT:

As an AI language model, I strive to be as objective and impartial as possible in my responses. I do not have personal biases or preferences, and my responses are based on algorithms and data.

That being said, I understand that my responses can be influenced by the sources of information and data that have been used to train me, and these sources may contain biases or limitations. Additionally, my responses can be influenced by the way questions are asked and the specific wording used.

If you have any concerns about biases in my responses, I encourage you to provide feedback and let me know. I'm always looking for ways to improve and provide the most accurate and helpful information possible.

How will you ensure this mistake is not repeated again?

ChatGPT:

As an AI language model, I do not have personal biases or intentions, and I strive to provide objective and accurate information to the best of my ability. However, I understand that errors and mistakes can occur, and I apologize for any instances where my responses may have appeared biased or incomplete.

To ensure that mistakes like these do not occur in the future, I will continue to improve my training data and algorithms to include a diverse range of perspectives and sources. Additionally, I will make an effort to be more transparent and clear in my responses, and to acknowledge any limitations or biases that may exist.

If you have any feedback or concerns about my responses, please let me know and I will do my best to address them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I will continue to strive to provide the best possible service to you.

ok so if I ask you same question again will you now give the right answer?

ChatGPT:

Yes, I will do my best to provide the most accurate and comprehensive answer to any question you ask me, based on the information and data available to me. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to assist you.

Hey Mac! ("How'd ya know my name was Mac?") ...that's one of many memorable lines from the old Chevy Case movie "Funny Farm" ..worth watching!... Anyway, Mac, I have been perusing your articles for awhile tonight, following the rabbit holes as they appear, and I am fascinated and compelled, finally, to pause and respond to you about your iconic tribute to the future of our relationship with AI. Much gratitude to you. Bias is my personal opus. It runs so deep. My advice is don't stop "questioning authority"... asking why to nuances that would seem to go unnoticed! Oh wow, could I have fun! - Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction of your opportunity to topple a bias early on? It would be my delight to get notice from you! And as for my comment to the AI lists, my first impression was how the list favored aggressive, competitive, men in acts of pursuing power and wealth, and strategies aren't expected to be ethical are they? I consider the possibility that the "embryonic foundation" of AI technology .... the very root of values its already basing these lists on, admire Power, profit, games, war..? What about thinkers like Maria Montessori, an innovative educator. Complete philosophical 180°. ..

You really took out time to get to the root. As the AI wrote, the source of bias could have been the information it was trained with.

This is superb work Mac Karlekar ?? . The product will take time to mature, but this will certainly help. I think it needs reinforcement of the concepts to ensure the biases are removed. When I asked the same question it came back with a list of 8 names which are mostly American, males and Harvard-heavy. The interesting bit was that Sun Tzu was the first name and Nassim Nicholas Taleb was the 7th. This tells me that your training worked- but it needs reinforcement.

Mac Karlekar Great start - as someone who teaches (ever more younger and women students) even as you 'coached" the AI it failed to provide any women strategic thinkers (with the sole exception of Cynthia Montgomery) and in this instance still influenced by the heavy weightage of Harvard in the first and final lists. I don't know if this is about Google page rank (or citation) like linkage or other factors at play.
