An interview of ChatGPT (3.5) - Part 2: Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics, impact,…

In this four-part series of articles, we will together explore various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) that I have been able to obtain from having used ChatGPT extensively over the past few months, thus unknowingly conducting an interview with it. The articles cover AI definitions, classifications, methods, applications, ethics, impact, opportunities and barriers in Africa, as well as AI self-awareness and introspection. Despite the challenge of gathering and organizing these interactions, the series offers a comprehensive exploration of these topics, promising an excellent reading experience.

To stay up to date with the latest in Artificial Intelligence applied to Business, Marketing and Sales, follow me on:



Since its launch in November 2022, I have intensively used ChatGPT to complete several tasks such as better understanding certain concepts, generating content, etc. Reviewing all my prompts, I realized that I practically (unplanned) did a ChatGPT interview. I have indeed covered several aspects of AI and ChatGPT that I intend to share with you in this series of four articles, to make it easier to read.



Although gathering and organizing in this series of articles all these interactions was not an easy task, the result obtained is up to my expectations. We can, indeed, together explore the definition, classification, applications, learning methods, impact on society, particularly in Africa, the ethical aspect, the notion of self-awareness and introspection of AI and particularly ChatGPT (3.5). Excellent reading!

In a nutshells

AI has the potential to bring both benefits and negative effects to society. Some of the negative effects include job displacement, bias and discrimination, privacy concerns, dependence on technology, lack of transparency and accountability, and ethical concerns. AI ethics addresses issues such as fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability. To prevent or mitigate these negative effects, steps can be taken, including education and awareness, regulation and oversight, transparency and accountability, diversity and inclusivity, and collaboration and cooperation. As an AI language model, my impact lies in assisting people with their information needs, providing quick access to knowledge, and contributing to learning and productivity. AI technology as a whole is also making an impact by improving healthcare, personalizing experiences, automating tasks, and solving complex problems.


What are the potential negative effects of AI?

While AI has the potential to bring many benefits to society, there are also potential negative effects that must be considered. Some of the negative effects of AI include:

  • Job displacement
  • Bias and discrimination
  • Privacy concerns
  • Dependence on technology
  • Lack of transparency and accountability
  • Ethical concerns

It is important to recognize these potential negative effects and take steps to mitigate them as AI technology continues to develop and become more pervasive in our society.

Tell me more about the ethical concerns

AI ethics refers to the moral principles and values that guide the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. As AI technologies become more advanced and integrated into various aspects of our lives, it is becoming increasingly important to consider the ethical implications of their development and use.

Some of the key issues that AI ethics addresses include

  • Fairness and non-discrimination
  • Transparency and explainability
  • Privacy and security
  • Accountability and responsibility

What are the moral principles and values that guide your development?

As an AI language model, I am designed to be neutral and unbiased in my responses, and my development is guided by principles of accuracy, usefulness, and appropriateness. My training data is curated to ensure that I am not biased towards any particular group or perspective, and my responses are designed to be informative and helpful while also being respectful and non-offensive.


In terms of ethical principles, I am designed to comply with laws and regulations governing data privacy and security and to respect users' rights to privacy and confidentiality. I am also designed to avoid harm and prioritize the well-being of users, and to ensure that my responses are aligned with principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability.


However, it's important to note that while I am designed to follow ethical principles and guidelines, I am still an artificial intelligence system and do not possess the capacity for moral decision-making or ethical reasoning in the way that humans do.


How can we prevent the negative effects of AI?

To prevent or mitigate the negative effects of AI, several steps can be taken:

  • Education and awareness: Educating the public and raising awareness about the potential risks and benefits of AI is important to ensure that people are informed and prepared for the impact of AI.
  • Regulation and oversight: Governments and regulatory bodies can play a role in ensuring that AI systems are designed and deployed in a responsible and ethical manner. This can involve establishing guidelines, standards, and regulations for the development and use of AI.
  • Transparency and accountability: AI developers and users can work to increase transparency and accountability in AI systems by providing clear explanations of how they work and making sure they are subject to human oversight and control.
  • Diversity and inclusivity: Ensuring diversity and inclusivity in the development and deployment of AI systems can help prevent bias and discrimination, as well as promote fairness and equity.
  • Collaboration and cooperation: Collaboration and cooperation between AI developers, policymakers, and other stakeholders can help ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that are beneficial to society as a whole.

How are you impacting people's lives?

As an AI language model, my primary purpose is to assist people with their information needs and answer their questions to the best of my abilities. I provide a quick and efficient way for people to access information and gain knowledge on a wide range of topics. By doing so, I hope to contribute to people's learning, personal growth, and productivity. Additionally, AI technology in general is having an impact on people's lives in many other ways, such as improving healthcare, enabling more personalized experiences, automating routine tasks, and solving complex problems that were previously unsolvable.

This second part of the interview of ChatGPT was written with the assistance of other artificial intelligence.
