Building Intelligent Societies With ChatGPT
Generative AI has become a hot topic since 2022 with ChatGPT, Open AI, Midjourney, and other emerging players in the field. Tech giants like Snapchat, Salesforce, and Bloomberg are investing in generative AI to remain relevant in the industry. However, the constant fear of AI replacing humans is growing, with a recent YouGov survey revealing that half of business leaders believe that AI could replace the workforce.
Although the potential use cases of generative AI are endless, it is crucial to note that we have seen technological fanfare before, such as the case with Wikipedia. What we can expect is ChatGPT's evolution into a tool among numerous others that will revolutionize how we operate, but it will not change the world.
Generative AI has already sparked transformative changes in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing. ChatGPT's application in education has made significant strides, with students using it for exams. However, concerns that it will undermine the integrity of education have led to the development of tools to detect and prevent its usage.
Businesses that embrace this type of innovation will come out on top. ChatGPT's ability to create job adverts, brand copy, or legal letters does not undermine HR, marketing, and legal teams. These teams are more vital than ever because of their years of experience, diverse backgrounds, soft human skills, and unique personalities.
AI will not replace humans anytime soon; instead, it will enable more people to engage and create. We are still exploring its flaws and limitations, analyzing combinations and applications that could deliver real tangible impact to human life quality. A thorough understanding of the limitations of AI is fundamental to achieve long-lasting and positive change.
Let us embrace ChatGPT and other AI tools into education and encourage people on how to best engage with them. Using this tool and combining it with other tools alongside the scientific method and human intelligence is where the real excitement lies. We are always in the middle of history, never the end.
