  1. System Level Metrics: The system level metrics are further divided into three types that is Complexity, Metrics Suite, and System Complexity.
  2. Component level Metrics: The component level metrics are further divided into four types that are Customization, component complexity, reusability, and coupling and cohesion metrics.
  • Complexity Metrics: The complexity metrics are the type of system-level metrics. There are many definitions given by many authors. According to IEEE, complexity is defined as the quality where the component or any system design and implementation is complex to understand and authenticate.
  • Metric Suite: It provides the requirements and functionality of the software that is needed by the users. It ensures to provide users a high quality, satisfactory fault-free software products.
  • System Complexity Metric: It is defined as the component metric having a set of components in the system.
  • Customization: The customization metric identifies whether the component can be customized according to the user’s needs or not.
  • Component Complexity Metrics: The Component Complexity Metrics have component plain complexity (CPC), Component Static Complexity (CSC), and Component Dynamic Complexity (CDC).
  • Component Reusability Metric: This type of metric is the ratio of the sum of interface methods that provides common reuse component features used in a feature.
  • Coupling & Cohesion metrics: It is the degree or power with which software components are related to each other.

Proposed Approach

The proposed approach describes the AI-based method to identify as well as predict the defects in the software metrics. In this proposed approach, first, the real-time software metrics dataset is collected from multiple sources. The software metrics dataset may include the data regarding the identified software metrics with labels. The Figure 2 describes the architecture of the proposed approach and systematic details process of this approach.

Figure 2: Proposed Approach

  1. Obtaining data: This step is very essential and very important step of the approach. Correct data means high performance with minimum defects and results in high-quality software. Therefore, in this step, the labeled dataset of the software metrics will be collected. The dataset will include above 50K software modules and the number of defects predicted in the software module. The predicted defects can be binary values in the form of zero and one.
  2. Data Pre-Processing: After data, collection data pre-processing is an essential step of this proposed approach. After data collection, the data must be cleaned and normalized properly to make the analysis simpler and more efficient. In this step, the data is cleaned by removing empty rows, duplicate values, indexing of data, etc.
  3. Artificial Intelligence Model: After data, cleaning the Artificial Intelligence Model will be applied that analyzes the data such as determining the combinations, and automating the detection procedure without human interaction. AI model can be any algorithm applied such as Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, etc. These algorithms will analyze the data and determine the combinations. In this step, the data can also be converted into some kind of vectors also known as numbers based on the software metrics given in the dataset. The AI model is also known as the machine-learning model.
  4. Training and Testing: After the AI model is applied, the data will be split into train sets and test sets that are different from each other. 75% data is given for the train set and the remaining 25% of the data is given for the test set. Then the model is trained on the train set that will train the model based on the combinations and the test set will be used for our model that does not contain any labels, the machine will identify the faults automatically based on the training of the model.
  5. Results: After applying the AI or ML model on the test set the results are obtained on the test set that will determine how best the model works. The results will be determined in terms of accuracy, the area under the curve, f1-score, confusion matrix, etc. The expected accuracy will achieve 98% by applying logistic regression on the test set.

Intellectual Property and ChatGPT: Navigating the Ethical Landscape

As cutting-edge artificial intelligence chatbots become progressively modern, they are bringing up significant questions about IPR law and its application to these new advances. Specifically, there are worries about the ownership of content produced by artificial intelligence chatbots, and how to protect and manage the content made by AI.

One main point of interest is the degree to which artificial intelligence chatbots can be thought of as “creators” of original content for reasons of copyright regulation. As these frameworks become further developed, they can produce even better pictures, texts, and different types of content that are indistinguishable from content made by humans. This brings up issues about who should be thought of as the “creator” of the substance for copyright, and whether such content ought to be qualified to be given similar IP rights.

As a rule, copyrighted materials are made by human creators and are considered original content that is fixed in a substantial form. This implies that the work should be communicated in a physical or computerized form, like a book, a PC file, or a painting, to be safeguarded by intellectual property law. With regards to artificial intelligence chatbots, it is not clear whether the substance produced by these frameworks would be viewed as original and fixed in a substantial form, and consequently qualified for copyright protection law.

Cheap and cheerful: why ChatGPT is no trademark filer | Managing Intellectual  Property

Some might contend that artificial intelligence is simply a tool or instrument that is utilized by human creators for work, and subsequently, the human creator ought to be viewed as the original maker and proprietor of the work. Others might contend that computer-based intelligence itself ought to be viewed as the maker and proprietor of the work, provided its capacity to produce unique substance without any intervention by a human.

It is challenging to say for certain whether the substance produced by computer-based intelligence would be qualified for copyright law under existing regulations. Nonetheless, the rise of these advancements brings up significant questions and difficulties that should be addressed to guarantee that IP rights are safeguarded.

Another issue is the potential for IP infringement by artificial intelligence chatbots. As these frameworks become all the more broadly utilized, there is a gamble that they may coincidentally or purposefully produce content that encroaches on the Intellectual Property rights of others or that is duplicative of other artificial intelligence-created content. For instance, an AI chatbot that produces text or pictures in light of previous work without consent could be considered encroaching.

The development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence devices raises significant concerns related to IP that should be addressed to guarantee that these innovations are utilized ethically and that respect the rights of human creators. Technologists, attorneys, and policymakers should cautiously consider these issues and work together to foster fitting legal structures for the utilization of artificial intelligence in the production of original content.
