AI's Dark Secret: An Understudy into ChatGPT's Privacy, Ethical, and Security Vulnerabilities

This research paper explores the capabilities and implications of ChatGPT, a cutting-edge AI chatbot that leverages topic modelling and reinforcement learning to produce human-like responses. While ChatGPT has vast potential across various sectors, including customer service, education, mental health treatment, and content creation, we must examine its security, privacy, and ethical ramifications. By tracing the evolution from GPT-1 to GPT-4 and examining the model's characteristics, limitations, and applications, this case study sheds light on the potential risks associated with integrating ChatGPT into our daily lives. With a focus on security, privacy, and ethical concerns, we identify the challenges these concerns pose for widespread adoption. Finally, we pinpoint unresolved issues in these areas, emphasising the need for collaborative efforts to develop secure and ethically responsible large language models.
