<p>It&#39;s the one thing every business leader needs to know.</p><p>If I put AI to work in my organisation, will it screw everything up?</p><p>While we should all be in experiment mode right now - until someone figures out how to make the probabilistic, deterministic - OpenAI researchers have been putting AI to work on real tasks.</p><p>The results are spectacular. Spectacularly good, and spectacularly bad.</p><p>But just like Tim Henman, you have to give it a chance. And maybe great things will follow - for AI.</p><p>On today&#39;s show we look wider, at many ways we&#39;ve tested AI in organisations and across functions and disciplines - and how it&#39;s fared.</p><p>And then we zoom in on GDPval, which sounds like someone your gran knows who reads The Economist but is actually <a href="https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/d5eb7428-c4e9-4a33-bd86-86dd4bcf12ce/GDPval.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">that OpenAI research paper</a> that explores LLMs in the context of the organisation. We hear the pros and cons and whether now&#39;s the time to execute agents, or execute our dreams that AI is ready to replace us all.</p><p>Enjoy the show.</p>
