Episode 10: ChatGPT and the Future of Human Computer Interaction

In December 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT for public testing and within a week of its launch, the user count exceeded 1 million. For many, ChatGPT provided a first glimpse at what an AI-powered future might look like.

In this episode, Dr Genevieve Hayes is joined once again by Dr David Joyner to discuss the implications of AI-driven technology, such as ChatGPT, for education, business and the world in general, and to finish their discussion of Georgia Tech’s OMSCS program.
