Nature uploads ChatGPT to ‘Nature 10’, which selects hot topics in science
“ChatGPT has a broad impact on the scientific community… The generative AI revolution has already begun”
‘ChatGPT’, which sparked the generative AI (artificial intelligence) craze, was named to ‘Nature’s 10’, which selects people who have created a hot topic in the global scientific community this year. This is the first time that Nature, one of the world’s top three scientific journals, has uploaded an object other than a person to Nature 10.
Nature announced on the 13th (local time) that it had selected 10 people who have led new discoveries and developments in the field of science this year and ChatGPT as the Nature 10.
Nature 10 is not a separate award or ranking, and is selected by Nature editors to highlight the most interesting scientific stories of the year.
This year’s Nature 10 unusually included ChatGPT, not a human. Regarding this, Nature said, “ChatGPT is not a person, but it has had a profound and far-reaching impact on science this year in many ways. ChatGPT continues conversations with plausible trained data, but through this, it is changing the way scientists work.” explained.
Additionally, Nature revealed the reason for selecting AI rather than humans for Nature 10, saying, “ChatGPT has raised new topics of debate, such as the limitations of AI, the nature of human intelligence, and the interaction between humans and AI.”
Nature also emphasized the risks of generative AI technologies, including ChatGPT. It is pointed out that due to the nature of AI chatbots, they may assist research misconduct or plagiarists, and problems such as errors and bias may arise.
In addition to ChatGPT, 10 people who led scientific development this year were selected for this year’s Nature 10, as in previous years.
Dr. Kalpana Kalahasti of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was evaluated as having made a critical contribution to the success of Chandrayaan 3, which became the first human to land on the South Pole of the Moon.
Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva was highly praised for her policies to reduce deforestation in Brazil’s rainforest. Dr. Katsuhiko Hayashi of Osaka University in Japan succeeded in producing offspring from male mice by producing eggs from the cells of male mice through genetic manipulation. This experiment is expected to help save endangered species in the future.
Dr. Annie Kreacher of the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) has made significant contributions to implementing nuclear fusion reactions, and the UN’s first Chief Thermal Officer (CHO) Eleni Milivili has acknowledged their contribution to helping the world prepare for the climate crisis. received.
In addition, ▲Open AI’s chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who played a key role in the development of ChatGPT and the large-scale language model (LLM) on which it is based; ▲Professor James Hamlin, University of Florida, who discovered the flaw in the room-temperature superconductivity paper; ▲The basis for the development of obesity treatment drugs Svetlana Moisov, a professor at Rockefeller University in the U.S. who led the discovery of the satiety hormone ‘GLP-1’ ▲ Director of the Nanoro Clinical Research Institute in Burkina Faso, Halidou Tinto, who contributed to the approval of the malaria vaccine ▲ London, England, who led a modified clinical trial for the treatment of severe bladder cancer Professor Thomas Fowles of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital and others were listed in this year’s Nature 10.
Nature said, “Nature10 has highlighted the influence of 10 people in the scientific community since its inception a dozen years ago. “This year, as we continue that tradition, we recognize the role that AI, designed to imitate human language, plays in scientific advancement,” he said. “No one knows how much more systems like ChatGPT will create. “But the generative AI revolution has begun and there is no turning back.”
