The introduction of the powerful ChatGPT by OpenAI at the beginning of this year has left the globe in absolute wonder and excitement at AI's immense and diversified capacity, which has profoundly changed the lives of many. There have been sporadic, modest headlines about AI becoming the "next big thing," but nothing quite like what we're seeing today. Students use it to complete assignments for school and the workforce is made more effective by including ChatGPT in its service, and even just for everyday usages: ChatGPT can form a dialogue answer appropriate to any question as if talking to a human, something that the dominant Google search engine is not capable of. The fastest consumer application to achieve so in history, ChatGPT amassed over 100 million users in only two months, overtaking Twitter and Whatsapp in the process. It is undeniable that ChatGPT has dramatically increased awareness of AI's potential to support us in our daily lives.

While AI's influence is seen all over the world, there are growing worries regarding AI's negative impact on its original purposes. The reality is that new laws or regulations are required to keep up with the current exponential expansion of the AI area. This is problematic because technology might surpass human intellect, skew the truth, and create anarchy. Consider AI in the field of the arts. A piece of artificial intelligence art called Theatre D'opera Spatial won first prize at the Colorado State Fair, which caused a significant uproar among artists who felt insulted by a non-human artwork competing against experts who spent years perfecting their craft.

The advanced technology of AI reaches deep fakes falsifying information, leading people to assume that the pope is wearing a white puffer jacket and a fake scene where former President Donald Trump gets taken to the ground and detained by police. The "godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton, has just quit Google because of concern that AI may lead to a society where many people "will not be able to know what is true anymore." Geoffrey Hinton has emphasized all of these implications of AI as contributing to the chaos in our society. As a result, it asks for an order to govern AI, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, argues that regulations to reduce the hazards of AI should be carefully considered.

It is evident that artificial intelligence has significantly changed how people work, learn, and live today. The ability to imagine a future without artificial intelligence has greatly raised people's level of living. However, AIs must be kept on a leash if people do not heed the urgent pleas of professionals in this fast-evolving field. This innovative technology of AI may seem very handy at first but soon become something that eventually ends up destroying humanity.
