The speed with which generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) is advancing is generating excitement in some camps, consternation in others and, a mix of both, across various sectors including: health, education, business, social spheres, and safety to name a few.
While AI technology is becoming increasingly accessible concerns about bias, safety, security & other ethical matters, remain
While AI technology is becoming increasingly accessible and holds the promise of profoundly impacting organisations, recent confirmation from OpenAI regarding its chatbot's ability to browse the internet in real time (initially for premium users) has reignited concerns. Issues such as bias, security, ChatGPT hallucinations, copyright, and other ethical concerns remain at the forefront of discussions and, rightly so.*
Premature were the assumptions that ChatGPT had plateaued;
There’s no doubt that Open AI’s recent announcement that ChatGPT can now access internet data in real time will attract more than just early adopters. Premature were the assumptions that ChatGPT had plateaued; these recent updates will further encourage and inspire developers to create customised interfaces catering to specific user needs, thus unlocking the chatbot's full potential.
Moreover, the recent revelation that ChatGPT has learnt to talk and the unveiling this month of the DALL·E image generator (which is integrated into ChatGPT for premium users), shows that OpenAI is not resting on its laurels and its first-mover advantage into the consumer market is beginning to bear fruit.
While AI isn't the holy grail that it’s often made out to be, ChatGPT (followed by its competitors), is leading the way, especially in terms of multi-modality (text, audio, images, and very likely soon, videos) and forward-thinking leaders/organisations should take note and follow suit by offering a diverse array of communication and collaboration methods & tools to their teams/staff members.
Leaders who embrace inclusive and collaborative leadership styles are more likely to foster the use, as well as encourage the uptake of, innovation (including technological advancements).
In this context, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Cultural Intelligence (CQ) assume critical importance. Leaders who embrace inclusive and collaborative leadership styles are more likely to foster the use, as well as encourage the uptake of, innovation (including technological advancements). In addition, EQ and CQ led leaders/orgs are more likely to build cultures that are better able to navigate intellectual friction whilst minimising social friction. Such leaders & orgs encourage diverse learning methods and are thus better positioned for success in this fast moving & fluid landscape.
Navigating the evolving AI landscape calls for a thoughtful approach; addressing challenges while harnessing the immense potential that it offers. And this often starts with EQ led inclusive teams.
