The Dark Side of Generative AI: Ethical, Security, and Social Concerns

Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a significant leap in technology, enabling the creation of novel content from text, images, videos, and audio. While its potential to drive innovation and improve productivity is immense, the risks associated with its application are equally formidable. This paper explores the darker aspects of generative AI, focusing on ethical dilemmas, social implications, security threats, and the potential for misuse. We examine issues such as misinformation, biases in AI models, job displacement, and the dangers posed by AI-driven automation. Finally, we discuss the need for effective governance and regulatory measures to mitigate these risks and ensure responsible AI development.
