ChatGPT: One Year On

Today marks one year since the launch of #ChatGPT to the public – the day that Generative AI entered the zeitgeist as either the great new hope for humanity or the beginning of the end of civilisation.

Of course, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. Many are still trying to understand the pros and cons of the technology as it continues to unfold. And if you’re still struggling to understand the difference between an #LLM and #ML, why not take a look at the new INSEAD Explains series?

Launched today, the series features 欧洲工商管理学院 (INSEAD) faculty answering some of the key questions around #GenAI and its impact on business and society in the short and long term.

The potential impact of this transformative technology on our lives is not the only reason #AI has been dominating the news. Of late, boardroom drama has beset ChatGPT. Our latest Knowledge article explores the series of circumstances that led to the ousting of Sam Altman. Rather than pointing fingers at individuals or the technology, it highlights the fragility of OpenAI’s #governance, as is the case in most high-speed tech organisations. ?

In the piece by INSEAD professors Theodoros Evgeniou and Ludo VAN DER HEYDEN , and tech executive Yann Lechelle , the authors conclude that it is precisely because humans are not perfect that there is an urgent need for good governance.

Today’s Tech Talk X: “A Manager and an AI Walk into a Bar” by Anton Ovchinnikov and Virginie Simon points to yet another risk. While Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can outperform humans in certain tasks, they, too, are not perfect and can also suffer from human-like biases.

Over the course of the year, INSEAD Knowledge has featured research and opinion by INSEAD Faculty on the impact of AI on sectors including business consulting, education and the media, as well as the implications on explainability, trust, risk, democracy and bias.
