"Sana", the first electronic news anchor with artificial intelligence technology in India, started her job in recent days, welcoming guests in three languages at her launch event and introducing herself to the Indian Prime Minister with a very cohesive appearance, to the extent that no one could notice that "Sana" is not a real person. Five months earlier, the first artificial intelligence news anchor appeared in China. This aspect raises concerns about the applications of artificial intelligence and the threat they pose to human jobs. A report by investment bank Goldman Sachs stated that these applications could replace about 300 million jobs in the coming period. However, there are many other concerns that may make the risks outweigh the opportunities provided by smart applications! Every scientific innovation carries opportunities for progress and, at the same time, entails new challenges. But this development has features that make it different from the results of previous scientific revolutions, as artificial intelligence is known as the ability of a machine to perform cognitive processes similar to those performed by humans, including perception, learning, thinking, conflict resolution, and analytical thinking. Therefore, many industries and production methods have been keen to take advantage of the capabilities of artificial intelligence, extending to medicine, education, scientific research, and other purely human fields such as authorship and art.

Global investments in artificial intelligence have doubled, reaching $77.5 billion in 2022, compared to about $36 billion in 2020. Non-defense government agencies in the United States allocated $1.7 billion for research and development in the field of artificial intelligence in 2022, a 13% increase from 2021. However, concerns about these applications have intensified with the implications of "GPT Chat", supported by "Microsoft", which caused a great stir around the world, especially after its competitor "Google" entered the race by launching the chat robot "Bard"! This has doubled concerns about privacy and security violations resulting from the use of artificial intelligence in collecting personal data. This concern is now shared by researchers and politicians alike. American researchers conducted a survey that included researchers in this field, where 73% explained that they expect artificial intelligence to soon lead to a revolutionary social change, while 36% mentioned that it could cause a "nuclear disaster", as they described! American billionaire Elon Musk, along with several artificial intelligence experts, called for a six-month halt in the development of systems more powerful than "Chat GPT-4" in an open letter, pointing to the potential risks of such applications to society, especially with the fear of the fate of the enormous amount of information shared with it during conversations, as millions of users rely on it to perform school tasks, write emails, and many other tasks. On the other hand, the progress of smart technology could lead to a loss of control over it, which increases concerns related to the proper use of technology.

Thus, Google CEO Sundar Pichai called for legal controls on new technology, pointing to the possibility of creating sophisticated fake videos in which the faces of real people can be used in offensive or pornographic videos without their permission or knowledge. The use of smart technology can also lead to discrimination and inequality in society, raising issues of the absence of justice in access to technology. These concerns were not lost on U.S. President Biden, who told his Science and Technology Advisory Council that artificial intelligence could help treat diseases and combat climate change, "but it is also important to address its potential risks to society, national security, and the economy," stressing that "technology companies bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of their products before announcing them."

Some countries went further, as Italy banned "GPT Chat" last March, and Spain and France tightened controls against this application and formed a specialized European body working group to enhance European cooperation in this field. In any case, we must take these concerns seriously and take the necessary measures to ensure the fair, safe, and responsible use of artificial intelligence applications, by developing regulatory and ethical rules and standards for the use of smart technology and encouraging research and development in this field in a way that promotes social benefits.
