چکیده
مدل های زبانی بزرگ چه کاربست هایی دارند و این کاربست ها به چه مزایا و چالش هایی به ویژه در سپهر پژوهش می انجامند؟ در این مقاله به تحلیل و بررسی مهم ترین مزایا و چالش های اخلاقی این مدل های زبانی خواهیم پرداخت. خواهیم دید که در کنار مزایایی همچون رفع موانع زبانی برای نویسندگان غیرانگلیسی زبان، کاهش هزینه آماده سازی، صرفه جویی در زمان، افزایش کیفیت نگارش، ترویج راحت تر دانش، و کمک به پژوهشگران دارای شرایط خاص، چالش های مهمی نظیر توهم ، مسئولیت پذیری و مؤلف بودن، مشابه نویسی و سرقت ادبی، سوگیری، امنیت و حریم خصوصی، ایمنی و توان آسیب رسانی، شفافیت و توضیح پذیری، مسائل زیست محیطی، بیکاری و بهره کشی نیز وجود دارد. با تحلیل این مزایا و چالش ها و گریز از رویکردهای کاملاً خوشبینانه یا بدبینانه نسبت به این فناوری، نشان خواهیم داد که برای رفع یا کمینه کردن شدت برخی از چالش ها، به ویژه چالش های خاصی که مدل های زبانی در سپهر پژوهش ایجاد می کنند، نیاز به کارهای نظری، سیاستی، آموزشی و فنی وجود دارد.An Analysis of the Advantages and Ethical Challenges of Large Language Models in Research
It has not been long since the emergence of large language models, but due to the significant hype surrounding their applications and prospects, especially in the field of research, it seems essential to examine their applications as well as the advantages and ethical challenges of this technology. What applications do large language models have, and what advantages and ethical challenges do these applications bring, particularly in academic work? In this article, we will analyze and discuss the most important advantages and ethical challenges of these language models.
The methodology of this research for extracting advantages and challenges involved reviewing and examining relevant research works identified in the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. We identified numerous articles by searching for terms such as ‘challenges/ advantages of LLMs in research’, ‘risks/ethical concerns of LLMs’, ‘ethics of ChatGPT’, ‘ethics of LLMs’, ‘LLMs and research ethics’, and ‘artificial intelligence and research ethics’. After removing duplicates, the articles were studied based on their relevance to the topic of this research, and the advantages and challenges were extracted. The author then aggregated and categorized the advantages and challenges, followed by an analysis and discussion of each.
Alongside advantages such as overcoming language barriers for non-English-speaking authors, reducing preparation costs, saving time, improving writing quality, facilitating the dissemination of knowledge, and assisting researchers with special conditions, there are significant challenges such as the hallucination, accountability and authorship, plagiarism and copyright issues, bias, security and privacy, safety and potential harm, transparency and explainability, environmental issues, and unemployment and exploitation. The three special research-oriented issues we examined are each important in their own right. Neglecting the issue of hallucination will ultimately have a detrimental effect on the quality and integrity of researchers' work. The issue of accountability and authorship requires heightened attention from publishers and even those engaged in theoretical work on ethics and philosophy of artificial intelligence. Currently, no publisher or association/ committee recognizes LLMs as authors. While this lack of recognition may prevent some problems, it also leads to other issues. The issue of plagiarism and copyright is significant because language models do not perform well in citation; they rarely provide correct direct citations and often do not maintain sufficient distance from the original text in indirect citations. One reason for this may be that this technology was not primarily designed for scientific writing but rather to write in a natural manner, similar to humans.
Large language models undoubtedly have significant impacts on the research domain. One of the most important advantages is overcoming language barriers for publication. This can be viewed as an opportunity for developing countries: non-English speakers who previously wrote less in English are now writing more with the help of generative AI tools. This, in turn, will affect the visibility rates of educational and research institutes in non-English-speaking countries. Alongside these advantages, efforts must be made to minimize the ethical issues associated with this technology. By analyzing these advantages and challenges, and avoiding overly optimistic or pessimistic approaches to this technology, we will discuss that addressing or minimizing the severity of some challenges, particularly those specific to language models in the research domain, requires theoretical, policy, educational, and technical efforts
