Hear Elsamari Botha in this highlight from the University of Canterbury's Raising the Bar Christchurch 2023

AI, and language models like ChatGPT, are increasingly being integrated into business processes to improve efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction. However, there are many myths and misunderstandings about their current and future use.

AI has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate, but it is essential to approach its implementation with caution. To get the most value out of AI, it is crucial to establish a robust human-AI relationship. This means understanding the limitations of AI and ensuring that humans are still involved in decision-making.

In addition to understanding the human-AI relationship in business, companies also need to understand how embedding AI in business might affect their processes and structures. This talk provides practical insights into implementing AI in business.
