Since ChatGPT was launched by Open AI, and re-launched the latest update just a little while ago, there is much talk about the quite likely thing that this is the great break-through of user-friendly, but also as yet questionable AI.
Who knows, but you should reflect a bit over this as it will be relevant for almost all kinds of future work. In my opinion – not very surprising- I think you need to read some of the latest updates, soon, and an excellent recent review article in the MIT Technology Review, by David Rotman, see link below.
The title of the popular review article is: “ChatGPT is about to revolutionize the economy. We need to decide what that looks like. New large language models will transform many jobs. -Whether they will lead to widespread prosperity or not is up to us.”
I think that is a pretty good summary of the current status. Please leave a message or comment if you’d like to share your opinion with other interested readers.
At NTNU, our colleague Inga Strumke is researching “XAI” as in Explainable AI. I’ll check out one of her recent publications to see what we could discuss as relevant for a human-centric cyber-physical production system.

For the extra-curious: check out the link below from the news in 2018, if available, when we were learning about the Finnish version of “Open AI”, i.e. free online course for all!
“Helsinki University and tech strategy firm Reaktor say they want to make Finland the world's most educated country in the field of artificial intelligence.
The academic and business partners say they want Finland to become forerunners in AI, and have developed an online course covering the quickly-growing technology open to anyone, free of charge.
"The Elements of Artificial Intelligence" online course is entirely in English and offered to people who are interested in learning more about AI.
User interface designer at Reaktor Janina Fagerlund says people might not know it, but their lives are already affected - one way or another - by AI every single day.
As a perhaps unexpected example, Fagerlund says that AI is used in industrial food production to sort produce and other items at food processing facilities.”
