The rise of generative artificial intelligence has been rapid – and transformative. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been quietly working away in the background for years, with many people unaware of its prevalence in daily life. However, the arrival of generative AI models last year – notably ChatGPT – has demonstrated just how influential it can be.
Over the past few months, numerous tech companies have been rolling out new, innovative generative AI models that have the potential to make a significant impact on the way people work, marking a shift in the global labour market and economy.
The uncertainty surrounding generative AI – of displacing people from their jobs, for example – is tempered by the growing understanding of the need for companies to adapt to a new technology that is set to become more sophisticated, and more mainstream. Research by Goldman Sachs suggests the threat of worker displacement from generative AI could be counteracted by a surge in productivity that may lead to a 7 per cent increase in annual global gross domestic product.
In addition to performing administrative tasks, generative AI has the potential to assist people with formulating ideas and generating analytical texts – even facilitating creative work, empowering individuals to use their time at work more efficiently. That could lead to more innovation and increased productivity.
One of the main capabilities of generative AI is its employment of machine learning to respond to user prompts. It can function much like a personal assistant, capable of generating texts, summarising meeting transcripts, planning events and even analysing documents.
