In this video, science writer Sheeva Azma discusses the paper “The notorious GPT: Science Communication in the age of artificial intelligence” by Mike S. Schäfer. Azma explores the impact of chat GPT, a generative AI algorithm, on science communication and society. She highlights the popularity of chat GPT and its potential as a powerful tool for summarizing complex science. Azma emphasizes the importance of understanding chat GPT’s limitations and how various stakeholders perceive and use it. She summarizes Schäfer’s recommendations, including analyzing communication about generative AI and studying its impact on science communication. Azma also discusses the conceptual challenges posed by the emergence of generative AI. She concludes by emphasizing the role of science communicators in fostering public understanding and addressing the social implications of chat GPT and generative AI. Two key quotes from the video: “We must analyze the social implications of chat GPT, especially for science communicators, and consider its impact on science communication and society at large.” “The more people understand something, the more empowered they can be to use that technology wisely.” More about Sheeva Azma & Fancy Comma: https://fancycomma.com/ Related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK4DXNm2cWs
