ChatGPT has caused an uproar since it came out.It overturns people's existing impression of ar-tificial intelligence with its high degree of authenticity,strong interaction and multi-modal characteristics.As an excellent representative of generative artificial intelligence,ChatGPT is changing human production and life style and breaking human cognitive barriers with a high profile.However,the development of science and tech-nology is contradictory and two-sided.The more"intelligent"science and technology is growing,the easier it will be for people to breed fear and insecurity.While improving social well-being and benefiting the people,the development of science and technology is also usually accompanied by a series of ethical risks,there is no exception of ChatGPT.Because ChatGPT has two sides,people are ambivalent about it.To overcome ambiva-lence,it is necessary to clarify the ethical risks caused by ChatGPT,such as the impact on human subject status,privacy invasion and algorithm discrimination,the reduction of cheating costs and academic misconduct,and the intrusion of ideological defenses,to mention just a few.To deal with these ethical risks,it is necessary to adhere to the principle of humanism,keep the bottom line of technological development,protect the common law of pri-vacy groups,strengthen algorithm design and supervision,adhere to the education of scientific and technological ethics,achieve parallel supervision and guidance,supplement the shortcomings of generative AI,and take the road of independent development.Only in this way can we effectively deal with the risks and challenges arising from the application of ChatGPT,so as to realize the ethical regulation of ChatGPT,overcome people's ambiva-lence caused by the powerful"smartness"of technology,and ensure that intelligent technology always moves for-ward steadily along the road of benefiting humanity.
