Using ChatGPT in the Workplace: A Tempting Risk to Your Career

An AI search engine called ChatGPT has been released by OpenAI, but its usefulness in the workplace is limited. The platform has been trained to give helpful and informative answers, rather than accurate ones, meaning it may not adhere to company policies or accurately perform assigned tasks. Carnegie Mellon University machine learning professor Roni Rosenfeld used GPT4, a premium version of the software, to write a love poem to his wife containing several suggested words, but found it required significant prompting to follow basic instructions. Other recent uses of ChatGPT and AI in law have revealed inaccuracies and caused controversy. The potential automation of jobs has been identified as a huge business opportunity.
