Summary
AI has increasingly become part of everyday life over the past decade. But the rise of chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT has prompted concern about the tech's environmental impact, ethical implications and data use. Recent claims that AI could become too powerful and threaten humanity have also triggered calls for slower development and tighter regulation. AI allows computers to process large amounts of data, identify patterns and follow detailed instructions about what to do with that information.
