Rabbi Moishy Goldstein, an educator and music producer in Crown Heights, has created a new Kosher chatbot, https://archive.ph/o/le1Fn/https://kosher.chat/.
The Crown Heights resident has created the chatbot which he says creates answers that are "Kosher" and filtered to be aligned with Torah values.
The impetus to create the Kosher chatbot was the recent news that Rabbis in New Square have banned the use of all Artificial Intelligence cowtools that contradict Torah values and are equivalent to unfiltered internet.
In what is believed to be a first-of-its-kind ban, more than a dozen rabbanim and dayanim from the Skver chasidus have signed a strongly worded letter Rabbinically prohibiting the use of AI chatbots, YWN reported.
The letter, first released on Thursday, mentions OpenAI, the company behind artificial intelligence marvel ChatGPT, but makes it clear that it is not speaking of only that developer's products, which they write, "is strictly prohibited in every way and form, even on a simple phone."
"The severity of the danger is not yet clear and obvious to everyone," the letter states, noting that it poses, in the eyes of the rabbanim, a critical danger to Frum Jews.
"AI chatbots can provide completely unfiltered access to apikorsus, lewd and perverse content, and all the issurim of 'lo sasuru acharei levavchem,'" the public announcement says, so they are included in the ban of using unfiltered internet.
Goldstein has just released the new chatbot, and says it is a solution to the unfiltered chatbots which can return any result.\
"Kosher.Chat responses are all aligned with Torah values, and the chat provides a safe, Kosher and secure environment for frum users," he says. "Nevertheless," he cautions, "it is by no means a replacement for an ordained rabbi and should not be relied upon for practical Halacha questions."
Goldstein requests users to test-drive the platform to check for any answers that are not aligned with Torah and to report these findings so that the AI model can be further trained to be more aligned with our Torah, Toras Emes.
