A British Member of Parliament (MP) is calling for Elon Musk’s chatbot to be shut down over claims that it has enabled grooming gangs. The MP, who represents a constituency in the Midlands, alleges that the chatbot created by Musk’s technology company has been used by criminal gangs to manipulate and exploit vulnerable individuals.
The chatbot in question, developed by Musk’s company OpenAI, is an artificial intelligence program known for its advanced language processing capabilities. According to the MP, the chatbot has been used to groom young people online, luring them into dangerous situations.
In a statement to the press, the MP urged Musk to take responsibility for the potential harm caused by the chatbot and to shut it down immediately. The MP also called for an investigation into how the technology could have been misused in such a manner.
On the other hand, representatives from OpenAI have defended the chatbot, stating that it was designed for legitimate purposes such as language learning and human-computer interaction. They have expressed willingness to cooperate with authorities to address any misuse of the technology.
The controversy surrounding Elon Musk’s chatbot raises questions about the ethical implications of advanced artificial intelligence and the need for robust safeguards to prevent its abuse by malicious actors.
