Recently it became known that the system prompt at xAI was manipulated and the xAI AI โGrokโ reported for hours about a genocide in South Africa that did not even exist(https://lnkd.in/egr-g_GD).

In the AI environment, this happens on various levels:
– ๐๐- ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ธ๐-๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ are responsible for their products (including training data, functionality, bias, ethics, correctness)
– ๐ก๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ must be aware that they are responsible for the results they have created with AI if they continue to use them
– ๐จ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป must bear responsibility for the products used, data flows and employee qualifications
– ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ are responsible for the software components, prompts and services used
– ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป are responsible for a suitable IT contract and appropriate terms of use
– ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐๐ป๐ด๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐๐๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ป are responsible for communicating and sharpening the handling of AI and all associated framework conditions
– ๐๐น๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป have a responsibility to protect their children, but also to motivate them
– The ๐ฃ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ธ is responsible for creating a framework in which a sensible approach to AI is possible in all these dimensions.
So much โresponsibilityโ can almost make you a little dizzy. Nevertheless, the first step is to be aware of this responsibility. ๐ง๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐, ๐บ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐.
I myself am responsible for the area of โAI and future technologiesโ at the PFH Private University of Applied Sciences Gรถttingen. At Streitz Hoppen & Partner – IT-Sachverstรคndige, I work on expert reports in the field of AI, in close coordination with lawyers. I’ve also had experience with โresponsibilityโ in the other roles mentioned above, so I know very well how difficult it can be…
I am always reassured by the following thought:
๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ด ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ผ.

… because burying your head in the sand is definitely not going to work with AI.
Have a great weekend everyone!
