ChatGPT Responds to Dokdo Issue: "Japan's Claims Are Groundless"
Lee: "AI Brings Revolutionary Changes to Human Civilization"
"Must Be Used as a Useful Tool for National Development"

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 11th about the conversational artificial intelligence 'ChatGPT' that "there are many concerns about side effects and many expectations, but since it is a tool created by humans, it should be used usefully."


Lee attended the 'ChatGPT Era Response and Challenges Roundtable' held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building that morning and said, "The change in human civilization caused by artificial intelligence (AI) is innovative and revolutionary."

Lee shared an anecdote about actually using ChatGPT. He said, "My executive secretary showed me something," and added, "When asked ChatGPT 'Is Dokdo our land?', it responded that 'Japan's claim is baseless.'


He then said, "I think an era will come when we obtain all knowledge and information through artificial intelligence, just as we live without calculators in our hands."


He continued by comparing artificial intelligence to a 'knife,' emphasizing that "it should be used as a useful tool."


Lee said, "A knife can be used badly, but it is commonly used usefully in daily life," and added, "The biggest problem pointed out with generative AI is that it can make wrong judgments based on incorrect data. However, this is the same principle as people making wrong judgments when provided with fake news."



Lee said, "I also plan to take time to learn the very unfamiliar and surprising ChatGPT," and conveyed, "As the saying goes, 'If you can't avoid it, enjoy it,' technological development is inevitable. We should lead or utilize this well to enrich the lives of the people and use it as a useful tool for national development."
