ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence chatbot, can write a poem about spring and even turn that poem into a 1970s sitcom. While AI projects like this are fun to interact with, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are looking into the bigger questions posed by using such technology.
The Carolina AI Project started this semester will explore the reality, morals and ethics of AI and virtual reality. The project brings together faculty and graduate students from the philosophy, linguistics and computer science departments. The project director is professor Thomas Hofweber in the department of philosophy.
