Have you ever interacted with a ChatBot? If so, what was the context and what did you think of it?

Multiple Choice

What are Large Language Models?

• Programs that sort and organize numbers to make predictions.

• Computer systems that help write and understand text like a human.

• Tools that make websites look better and easier to use.

• Robots that help build things in factories.

What does 'LLM' stand for in regard to Artificial Intelligence?

• Large Learning Model
• Long Language Model
• Large Language Model
• Limited Language Model

Reorder

In your opinion, what are the biggest risks associated with Large Language Model (LLM) Artificial Intelligence?

• Bias in Data: AI systems can inherit and amplify biases present in their training data, potentially leading to unfair outcomes in decision-making.

• 1. Privacy Concerns: LLMs can inadvertently memorize and reproduce personal data seen during training, posing significant privacy risks.

• 1. Misinformation Spread: The capacity of LLMs to generate convincing text can be misused to produce and spread misinformation or fake news at scale.

• 1. Job Displacement: As LLMs become more capable, they could automate tasks currently performed by humans, leading to job displacement in various sectors.

• 1. Dependence on Technology: Over-reliance on AI for critical tasks can make society vulnerable to failures or malfunctions of these systems.
