The role of truth in Large Language Models
ChatGPT is used for many different purposes: as a writing assistant, as a programming assistant, to get inspiration for creative tasks, and to find information. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has had a huge impact on the interaction of users with information. In this presentation I will discuss issues of misinformation and bias in Large Language Models. I will introduce where these problems come from, how we can measure them, and what their implications are. I will follow-up with recommendations for responsible research with LLMs and the importance of keeping the human in the loop.
