Effects of ChatGPT
In this episode, CIPIT researchers, Josephine Kaaniru and Dan Allan Kipkoech answer the question on all of our minds; Will ChatGPT take my job? The researchers begin by introducing Chatgpt, especially in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI). They then consider how ChatGPT has influenced work so far, with real life examples of both positive and negative impacts on labour. Finally, they consider the potential impact of ChatGPT and similar Large Language Models (LLMs) on work, considering both the optimist and the cautious perspectives.
