It’s still early in 2023, but we already know the word of the year: ChatGPT. The amazing bit of technology generates articulate and nuanced articles in response to short questions. Want a report on the World Cup final written in the style of Shakespeare, or a story about Russian strategy in Henry Kissinger's voice? No problem, ChatGPT can produce it. Want to pass the US medical licensing exam or get good grades in business school at Wharton? No problem, ChatGPT just did both of those.

What could possibly go wrong with underlying technology that can research, write, draw, code, compose music, and possibly even think at least as well as many, if not most, human beings?

Our guests on "New Thinking for a New World” have offered to help us understand not only what's technically called generative artificial intelligence, but to think together about the impact on jobs, on creativity, and innovation, on how we might be living in the not-so-distant future.
