Understanding Chat-GPT, And Why It's Even Bigger Than You Think - Josh Bersin
Social scientists and journalists are worried, with one prominent NYT author Ezra Klein calling it an “information warfare machine.” What has god wrought?
(PS in some ways the chatbot itself may be a commodity: there are at least 20 startups with highly funded AI teams building derivative or competing products.)Ditto here: if the corpus of information is flawed and the algorithms aren’t “constantly checking for reliability,” this thing could be a “disinformation machine.” And one of the most senior AI engineers I know told me it’s very likely that Chat-GPT will be biased, simply because of the data it tends to consume.Olivia, the AI chatbot developed by Paradox, is smart enough to screen, interview, and hire a McDonald’s employee with amazing effectiveness.I saw a demo of a system last week that took existing courseware in software engineering and data science and automatically created quizzes, a virtual teaching assistant, course outlines, and even learning objectives.My gut feel is that companies like OpenAI and Microsoft will likely compete with many other players (Google, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, etc) so every major vendor will “bulk up” on AI and machine learning expertise.
