OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT has sparked debate around the implications of AI technology and how humans can remain at the heart of business as AI advances. Experts in the Darden community agree that tapping into essential human qualities like adaptation and collaboration is critical for people to continue thriving in business as AI develops. AI has been in the works since the 1950s, and has been an accepted part of everyday life for years with applications like virtual assistants and AI-generated videos, photos and audio. However, the emergence of ChatGPT has made the possibility of computers being able to learn from experience and context, perform cognitive functions, solve problems and imitate creativity very real.
