Artificial intelligence chatbots are now in every aspect of life. While the revolution created by ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in 2022, continues, new concerns also emerge. According to research by Cambridge University, artificial intelligence applications that talk to us can manipulate our decisions.
British scientists warned; Technology companies will soon be able to map our desires and direct our decisions with artificial intelligence. This process is called “intention economy”. It is stated that artificial intelligence can influence our decisions before we make a decision, in light of the information it stores and the behavioral and psychological data it analyzes, and then turn this into financial gain for companies. In other words, there is a risk of being guided by artificial intelligence when buying movie tickets, making hotel accommodation plans, or even voting.
Currently, most of the internet economy operates on personalized advertising. Artificial intelligence chatbots can take this process one step further and make us want something you don’t want “through manipulation”.
