Is AI ‘manipulated by humans somewhere in India’? Professor Jiang makes new claim on podcast; here’s the truth
A clip from Jack Neel podcast featuring Professor Jiang has gone viral after he claimed ChatGPT responses are “being manipulated by humans somewhere in India.”
A Chinese-Canadian academic, Professor Jiang Xueqin, made headlines by claiming on a podcast that artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are not generating responses independently. Instead, he stated that AI is being manipulated by humans in India. This assertion has sparked debate and confusion among listeners. While experts have debunked his claim, noting that it conflates human involvement in developing AI systems with how they generate responses after deployment, it's clear that a significant amount of work involving humans takes place in the development process. However, this is different from manually generating each AI response in real-time.
