1. Report: The Economic Potential of Generative AI (McKinsey)

This McKinsey report on the economic potential of generative AI points out the ways that generative AI could reshape productivity in the workplace. Two main points from this report to think about: 

  1. Generative AI has the potential to add $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy.
  2. Generative AI can automate up to 70% of employees’ time-consuming tasks.

While early pilots are promising, realizing the full benefits of generative AI requires addressing challenges such as risk management, workforce skill development, and rethinking core business processes, necessitating a collaborative effort from leaders in business and society.

2. Guide: From ChatGPT to HackGPT: Meeting the Cybersecurity Threat of Generative AI (MIT Sloan Review)

As Generative AI becomes smarter, hackers can use it to understand and bypass security systems, making it harder to detect and defend against their attacks. The author likens the new AI-powered cyber threats to cat burglars or sophisticated con artists.

As such, companies need to adapt their cybersecurity approaches to address the evolving threats posed by Generative AI.

  1. By leveraging generative AI tools themselves to block phishing, improve real-time detection, identify anomalies, etc.
  2. Providing knowledge-based training to employees

3. Opinion: Max Roser on Our Shared Responsibility

Our World in Data is an online scientific publication that focuses on large global problems such as poverty, disease, hunger, climate change, war, existential risks, and inequality.

Max Roser, Founder and Director of Our World in Data sees the AGI as a potential global problem and urge individuals, civil society, and governments to get involved. He wanted to answer three questions in his article:

  1. Why is it hard to take the prospect of a world transformed by AI seriously?
  2. How can we imagine such a world?
  3. What is at stake as this technology becomes more powerful?

We invite you to delve into these interesting questions and their answers on DigitalRosh.

4. Case Study: Learning with AI – Legitimate Use or Cheating?

Ian Bogost delves into the deep challenges educators and students are facing, due to the increasing use of AI in academic settings, particularly in writing assignments.

While there are positive abilities to AI tools, such as: generating ideas, overcoming writer’s block, rephrasing paragraphs, or checking grammar, the line between legitimate use and cheating is blurred.

In the following article, originally published in The Atlantic, Bogost uses case studies and discusses different aspects of the academic world challenge.
