How can artificial intelligence technologies be used effectively in universities so that the development of artificial intelligence technologies exemplified by ChatGPT does not pose a threat to universities but rather is an increase in the possibilities for the development of universities, the development of scientific research, including the improvement of the efficiency of conducted research, analytical, teaching, scientific processes using large amounts of multi-criteria data processed on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms?
The development of artificial intelligence applications today is almost limitless. Artificial intelligence technologies have been developed for many years, but it is in the last few years that this development has significantly accelerated. On the other hand, thanks to the artificial intelligence system made available on the Internet, which is the ChatGPT language model, the topic of artificial intelligence has, since the end of 2022, become one of the main topics of discussion in various fields of knowledge and in the context of different scientific disciplines, business applications, etc. ChatGPT has also become one of the most popular online platforms rapidly gaining new users at a rate comparable to the most popular and fastest growing social media sites. However, the currently developing applications of ChatGPT's intelligent language model have also started to generate negative effects and have overtaken the process of adapting systemic solutions and regulations to the situation. There has emerged a serious risk of the rapid development of disinformation in online social media, with images, videos and texts generated by various artificial intelligence solutions that present what can be described as 'fictitious facts', which present something that is difficult to distinguish from real facts, real events taking place and to diagnose who or rather what created them. There is a serious risk of non-compliance with copyright in the creation of certain types of 'works' created by artificial intelligence. This also raises the question of the ethics of the creation of new works, works in which a reliably realised creativity is or should be included. Newly created works, such as photographs, films, textual studies, literary works, paintings, graphics, sculptures, architectural designs, technical and other innovations, computer programmes, patents, etc., contain the element of new solutions, concepts, innovation, etc., which are the result of human creativity. However, in the context of thousands of years of evolution of human abilities and creativity, it is only relatively recently that man has begun to assist himself in the processes of creative creation of something new, innovative solutions, new concepts, artistic works, etc., assisted by advanced technology that does this in principle for man, but according to assumptions and rules that man determines. In recent years, the aforementioned processes of using artificial intelligence in the creation of a kind of "works" created with the application of more and more data and information and within the framework of processes that are becoming more and more automated have been taking place at an increasingly rapid pace. The development of the ChatGPT intelligent language model technology, which is available on the Internet, shows how dynamically the use of new technology is taking place in order to, as it were, cede creative work that requires multi-criteria processing of large amounts of data and in increasingly automated processes. Since, for example, ChatGPT-created texts often lack full descriptions of data sources, source publications, bibliographic descriptions and lack information on the extent of possible plagiarism, the scale of possibilities for copyright infringement is large. Therefore, in the context of thesis texts written by students, essays for course credit at university, the use of a tool such as ChatGPT for this purpose generates serious risks of unreliability of writing this type of work. Therefore, it is necessary to create a system of digital marking of various types of "works" created by various artificial intelligence solutions, i.e. in addition to texts created by artificial intelligence, also the creation of photographs, films, innovations, patents, computer software, new drugs, technical projects, artistic works, etc. Such a system of digital marking of various types of "works" created by various artificial intelligence solutions will be helpful in the matter of distinguishing the effects of human work from the increasingly highly substitutable effects of advanced data processing carried out by artificial intelligence. In addition to this, computerised anti-plagiarism platforms and programmes should be improved in such a way that they diagnose the borrowing of text fragments, sentences, paragraphs, phrases from other texts, publications, articles, books, etc., and unattributed sources of data, information, formulas, formulas, models, definitions of new concepts, new concepts, projects, innovative solutions, etc., unattributed bibliographies. Therefore, the currently developed artificial intelligence solutions, such as ChatGPT and similar solutions, should be improved both from the technical and procedural side, as well as from the formal and legal side, thanks to which the scale of improper use of such tools, generating negative effects, will be significantly reduced, including, among others, the scale of unreliable writing of texts of journal and other articles, theses, descriptions of conducted research, results of conducted analyses, etc. In this way, by significantly reducing the scale of negative effects of the developed artificial intelligence applications, the possibilities of practical application of artificial intelligence in the scope of improving the performance of research, analytical and development works, research and development works, as well as the results of conducted analyses, etc., will be limited. In this way, significantly reducing the scale of negative effects of developed applications of artificial intelligence, also developed in universities, the possibilities of practical applications of artificial intelligence in improving the implementation of research, analytical, research and development work, descriptions of results of conducted research will be able to be developed in the future. In this way, effectively, artificial intelligence technologies can be used in universities so that the development of artificial intelligence technologies, of which ChatGPT is an example, does not pose a threat to universities, but rather that it is an increase in opportunities for the development of universities, the development of scientific research, including the improvement of the efficiency of conducted research and analytical processes with the use of large amounts of data processed multi-criteria on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How effectively can artificial intelligence technologies be used in universities so that the development of artificial intelligence technologies as exemplified by ChatGPT does not pose a threat to universities but rather that it is an increase in the possibilities for the development of universities, the development of scientific research, including the improvement of the efficiency of the conducted research, analytical, teaching, scientific processes using large amounts of data processed multi-criteria on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms?
