Have you had a chat with ChatGPT yet?
I predict 2023 will be the year when AI-powered tech goes mainstream.
AI is like the invention of the Television: Not many people know how it works, but who cares, it’s what you do with it that matters!
Well, I care. Our parents worried that TV would addle their children’s brains. And perhaps it has! Forty years later and AI has the potential for global domination and human misery, but also to enable a new age of enlightenment, peace and prosperity. Seriously.
Have you had a chat with ChatGPT yet? If not, you really need to.
It’s not a techy thing … the interface is just like Google or Bing. But the difference is, you really can have a chat. You can also give it tasks like a smart (and very fast) personal assistant. For example, try the suggestion below. First register and log in at chat.openai.com. And then then dive down the rabbit hole. (It’s been such a sensation that they have had to restrict access for fear of crashing the servers, so be patient).
1.??????Request an assessment of the local labour market for that post you’ve been meaning to recruit.
2.??????Then ask for the top five reasons why candidates should join your organisation, and which media they are most likely to consume. (Unlike Google, Chat knows it’s in a conversation so it will remember what has already been discussed).
3.??????Then probe into the reason(s) that you favour.
4.??????Finally, ask it to summarise all this and recommend a recruitment strategy with a timeline and a 50-word job ad
“Will it make the coffee as well”, I hear you cry! Well, yes if you connect it to the machine. But imagine if it was connected to your email client, or your data warehouse, and your CRM. Now we’re talking!
So, what is it?
ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) was launched for public testing in November 2022 by the Californian startup OpenAI. Following earlier notoriety with their Dall-E AI-powered image generator, this latest technology utilises a combination of supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. To be fair, Chat cannot yet compete with the depth of indexed data you find in Google, but that is because it is restricted to data prior to 2021 and has not yet been fully connected to the web.
Who owns ChatGPT?
Microsoft originally invested more than $1bn in OpenAI, securing a strategic partnership to develop and commercialise it on their supercomputing technology. OpenAI runs most of its products, including ChatGPT, on Microsoft Azure.
Building on this relationship Microsoft is expected to offer ChatGPT as a standalone product but will also create third party services on top of it. This will open the door for providers to position services to help their clients embed ChatGPT into the fabric of their enterprise.

ChatGPT will also be integrated with Microsoft Outlook, Teams and Power Platform to enable semi-automated responses and act as email assistant. Not only it will infer useful context from emails and then write responses, it will also draw on the entire enterprise dataset to automatically implement actions off the back of conversations.
Many observers predict that ChatGPT and similar alternatives will become a new means of human/machine interaction, finally eclipsing keyboards and point/clicking. Instead, people will finally use plain language instructions to gather and analyse data, support decision-making and implement actions.
By accessing private and public datasets, ChatGPT will enable users to synthesise all kinds of structured and unstructured data from repositories and applications with no need for the traditional frustration of data governance and manual integration. ChatGPT knows the schemas of every SaaS API, and so will retrieve few or many items from all sorts of data sources for analysis using a intelligence solution before executing actions via any number of communications or control systems.
