Abstract

With the continuous development of technology, unfathomable innovations have emerged in the field of generative artificial intelligence and one of the leading models of this technology has been the ChatGPT model. The use of these models brings both social and individual opportunities and risks. The awareness of the individuals using the model to benefit from the model and to use the model in accordance with ethical principles will be a big step in preventing ethical risks. This study aims to address the opportunities and ethical issues presented by generative artificial intelligence and to address these factors through quantitative techniques to evaluate user opinions. At the same time, this study evaluates whether the users of ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence model, are aware of the model's capabilities and ethical issues through an online survey. The survey was conducted with a 3-point Likert scale and 298 participants. After statistically analyzing the survey results, it is understood that the participants are aware of the capabilities of ChatGPT and hold a positive perception of the model, but they are concerned about ethical issues. It has been revealed that legal regulations and user awareness should be ensured for the productive artificial intelligence technology, which is assumed to be widely used and will continue to be widespread day by day. This study draws attention to the importance of ethical and cyber issues, although the benefits of ChatGPT and similar models are undeniably interesting. Ensuring personal and social trust depends on using productive artificial intelligence technology by being aware of these risks.

Özet

Teknolojinin durmaksızın gelişmesiyle üretken yapay zeka alanında akıl almaz yenilikler ortaya çıkmış ve bu teknolojinin önde gelen modellerinden biri ChatGPT modeli olmuştur. Bu modellerin kullanımı toplumsal ve bireysel olarak fırsatları ve riskleri beraberinde getirmektedir. Modeli kullanan bireylerin modelden faydalanmak ve modeli etik ilkelere uygun bir şekilde kullanma bilincinde olmaları oluşacak etik risklerin önlenmesinde büyük bir adım olacaktır. Bu çalışma, üretken yapay zekanın sunduğu fırsatlara ve etik sorunlara değinerek bu faktörlerin kullanıcı görüşlerini değerlendirmek için nicel teknikler aracılığıyla ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu çalışma, üretken yapay zeka modeli ChatGPT kullanıcılarının, modelin yetenekleri ve etik sorunlarının farkında olup olmadığını çevrimiçi bir anket çalışması ile değerlendirmektedir. Anket, 3’lü likert ölçeği ve 298 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket sonuçları istatistiksel olarak analiz edildikten sonra katılımcıların ChatGPT’nin yeteneklerinden haberdar oldukları ve ChatGPT’yi olumlu karşıladıkları ancak etik sorunlarla ilgili endişe taşıdıkları anlaşılmaktadır. Gün geçtikçe kullanımının yaygınlaştığı ve yaygınlaşmaya da devam edeceği varsayılan üretken yapay zeka teknolojisi için yasal düzenlemeler ve kullanıcı farkındalığının sağlanması gerekliliği ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışma ile ChatGPT ve benzeri modellerin faydaları yadsınamayacak kadar ilgi çekici olsa da etik ve siber sorunların önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Kişisel ve toplumsal güvenin sağlanması, bu risklerin farkında olarak üretken yapay zeka teknolojisini kullanmaktan geçmektedir.
