Mastering AI like ChatGPT key: Bill Gates

WHETHER you love or hate generative AI like the viral success of ChatGPT, the technology is officially out in the wild, and Pandora’s Box has been opened.

For as much excitement as ChatGPT has stirred, there has been an equally strong backlash: School districts in cities like New York and Los Angeles have temporarily banned the use of ChatGPT for their learners, while companies that include Amazon and Goldman Sachs have reprimanded employees for using it with company data.

However, there is an increasing consensus — from industry leaders like Bill Gates to professors at schools like Columbia Business School — that, while it will take some time to figure out how best exactly to use it, the future belongs to those who build proficiency with using ChatGPT and systems like it.

In the same way that knowing how to use a web browser, word processing software, and email became standard office skills in the 90s and 2000s, some within the industry expect knowing how to get the best results out of ChatGPT to be table stakes for the next generation. Experts say that today’s learners have a chance to get a head start.

“The rate of change is happening faster today that regardless of what generation you’re in, everyone is trying to learn ChatGPT because it’s going to be a competitive advantage, and not using it is to your detriment,” said Neil Sahota, a consultant at Ackius Advisory. — Business Insider
