Topic: The state of AI and how organizations can best make use of it.
Quote: “Almost all knowledge workers can become more productive right away by using a large language model like ChatGPT or Bard as a brainstorming partner, copyeditor, tool to answer basic questions, etc. but many people still need to be trained to use these models safely and effectively. If you have not done so already it is worth upskilling your workforce. I also encourage CEOs to learn to use these tools themselves, so they can lead from the top.”
