Think ChatGPT is your new Google guru? Hold that thought.
Why it matters:
Small business owners relying on AI for quick answers might be unwittingly spreading misinformation.
It's like playing telephone with a robot—things can get weird, fast.
The big picture:
ChatGPT is designed to please, not fact-check.
It's a word prediction engine, not a truth-telling oracle.
According to Katherine A. Keith, an AI expert, "Language is high-dimensional and complex, and often even our best natural language processing methods result in measurement error."
Overheard at the water cooler:
"Dude, I asked ChatGPT about the best tax strategies, and it suggested I write off my dog as a 'security system.' My accountant nearly had a heart attack!"
By the numbers:
- By May 2024, Colorado will require businesses to conduct AI impact assessments, following the EU's lead.
- AI is expected to be integral to most work systems, from email to data analysis.
- Businesses must use only accurate, legitimate, and reliable data to ensure AI system reliability.
The bottom line:
ChatGPT is a powerful tool, but it's no replacement for good ol' fashioned fact-checking.
Use it to brainstorm or draft, but always verify before you amplify.
