    The one-page ChatGPT (generative AI) user guide for Chairs and CEOs

    As generative AI (ChatGPT) is here to stay and most of our clients are new to this, we developed this one-page user guide (early 2023).

    The two key questions to ask your organization are:

    What opportunities does generative AI (ChatGPT) provide for increased productivity, process automation, and new products and services?

    What risks come with generative AI (ChatGPT), and how do we mitigate them?

    To understand how generative AI (ChatGPT) works, you need to test it out. Sign up for a profile at https://chat.openai.com/auth/login.

    Do not share confidential information with ChatGPT and do not use ChatGPT as a Google search machine, but elaborate as much as possible on what you would like the digital assistant to help you with using this prompt guide for inspiration:
