However, employing bots like <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/chatgpt\">ChatGPT<\/a> in R&amp;D raises significant ethical concerns that must be addressed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">One <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/artificial-intelligence\/ethics\/cases\">ethical concern<\/a> is the possibility of bias in the data used for training the AI model.
