Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned expert on Artificial Intelligence (AI) with over 7.4+ million amassed views of his AI columns. As a CIO/CTO seasoned executive and high-tech entrepreneur, he combines practical industry experience with deep academic research.

The U.S. Surgeon General made a big splash with a published essay in the mainstream media calling for warning labels to be associated with social media.

After having covered the grounding of social media warning labels, we will be ready to shift gears into the realm of generative AI. I will do a quick intro about what generative AI entails, which I imagine most readers already are likely familiar with. The crux then becomes whether we should be thinking about placing warning labels on generative AI usage. If you believe so, I have drafted for your perusal some indications of what those warning labels might say.

Would the companies that provide social media platforms welcome the warning label approach or might they balk at a legal requirement forcing them to do such postings? The complaint from those seeking warning labels would be that the buried details would rarely be read by anybody. Similar to how few people read the licensing agreements about online sites such as social media platforms, very few would presumably go to the trouble to find and read the underpinnings of the warnings regarding social media.

. Discuss with children the benefits and risks of social media as well as the importance of respecting privacy and protecting personal information in age-appropriate ways.”Work with other parents to help establish shared norms and practices and to support programs and policies around healthy social media use

The points proffered to kids are echoes of the ones made to the adults. That is sensible. If the recommendations differed, both parents and youngsters might be misaligned. The wording aimed at young people is perhaps a bit flatter and less complex, presumably befitting the age level and maturity.We are somewhat still confronted with a length-related issue.

I believe this now readies you for a shifting of gears to consider a likewise matter concerning generative AI.Your overall sense of generative AI might be that it is relatively innocuous and completely unlike social media. In that way of thinking, the need for warning labels associated with generative AI might seem to be an oddball consideration.

I think that is sufficient for the moment as a quickie backgrounder. Take a look at my extensive coverage of the technical underpinnings of generative AI and LLMs at You also should expect that different generative AI apps will respond in different ways. Not all generative AI apps are the same. The key is that sometimes a particular prompt will work in one generative AI app and not another. Nonetheless, the odds are relatively high that you will get roughly similar responses from all the major generative AI apps such as GPT-4, Gemini, Bard, Claude, etc.
