North Point of View: Artificial Intelligence

Excerpt:

Mark: About a month ago, we were investigating the context of some of the work we were doing in Africa with our with our nonprofit, I was talking with my daughter about a long range project of getting the background on every country on the continent of Africa in terms of political stability. I just threw it out there, let's gather this information maybe over the next couple of months. Well, the next morning, she sent me a report and she had used ChatGPT. Obviously there were gaps but the fact that we had a framework from which to work in a matter of minutes rather than months was amazing.

Walter: But here's the scary part. What was missing in that report? You don't know exactly. There were things that you could see, and then there were things you couldn't see. Then some of the information was just inaccurate. But to get you started, man it's a great tool in that sense.
