Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, recently made a claim that someone utilized ChatGPT to portray Changpeng Zhao, the company’s CEO, as an official in the Chinese Communist Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This claim has raised concerns among experts who believe that recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) could have a disruptive impact on journalism. They warned that ChatGPT could be used to produce fake news and fabricated content, which could be utilized to manipulate public opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the latest reports,<\/u><\/a> it is believed that an unidentified individual or entity used ChatGPT, a popular AI program, to falsely portray CZ as a member of China’s Communist Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rumour further stated that he had created a social media platform for the China National Petroleum Corporation, one of the largest energy groups globally and a state-owned oil and gas organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Patrick Hillmann, who is Binance’s CSO, he attempted to recreate the ChatGPT query, but he was unsuccessful. He used various questions such as “Is Changpeng Zhao a Communist?” and other phrases that were related to the petroleum corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program led him to a fake LinkedIn page for Zhao and a Forbes article from 2018 that claimed he had connections to China’s ruling party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when he tried to access the article, he received a “not found” error message, and it is unclear whether the article ever existed or when it was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance has denied any connection between the CEO and the Chinese government and has dismissed the notion of Zhao’s involvement with the state-owned energy giant as absurd. The company stated that Zhao was associated with the China National Petroleum Corporation during his high school days, according to the language model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As AI and ChatGPT continue to proliferate across various industries, there have been warnings from several experts about the potential hazards that such technology may pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Charlie Beckett, who directs an AI program at the London School of Economics and was previously a journalist at BBC, believes that despite the benefits AI may provide, it is challenging to implement it in the journalism field. He advocates that human editing and fact-checking should remain fundamental components of the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being accused of being a member of the Chinese Communist Party, a recent article by Bloomberg portrayed Binance’s CEO as a multi-billionaire with a net worth of over $28 billion. However, CZ has refuted the report and stated that his actual net worth is nowhere near the amount described in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
