Ministry of Science and ICT Conducts Basic Principles Training on ChatGPT

The Ministry of Science and ICT held a second special lecture by an invited expert on the 3rd to help its employees understand the principles of Chat.GPT.

While the first lecture introduced Chat.GPT and its potential applications in government work, this lecture focused on understanding and applying deep learning technologies such as artificial neural networks, which are fundamental to Chat.GPT's principles.

The lecture was conducted by Professor Sung Won-yong, Emeritus Professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Seoul National University. Professor Sung is a leading scholar in the fields of speech recognition and artificial neural networks, with numerous research achievements and papers, making him an expert in artificial intelligence.

The main content of the lecture was divided into two parts. The first part explained that the accuracy of Chat.GPT's responses varies depending on how questions are asked, based on the principles of artificial neural networks. This provided an opportunity to learn how to ask questions to obtain accurate answers. The second part examined how Microsoft Bing and Kakao's 'Dadaum' are addressing the weaknesses of Chat.GPT.

Lee Jong-ho, Minister of Science and ICT, stated, “As the ministry responsible for science, technology, and information and communication technology (ICT) policies, we will continue to provide opportunities for all employees to acquire the principles of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, so they can refer to them when formulating policies related to Chat.GPT and similar technologies.”
