Study: Workers with less experience benefit the most from generative AI

ChatGPT can ace bar exams and school assignments in controlled environments. But how does generative AI fare with real life tasks in the workplace?

A study from academics at MIT and Stanford has found that inexperienced workers benefit the most from using generative AI.

According to the study, contact center agents who were given access to a generative AI conversation tool saw a 14% increase in productivity.

Newbies and less experienced call center agents who used AI at work resolved 35% more customer chats per hour. They also spent less time on each chat, and their customers were less likely to request a manager or be transferred to other departments.

In contrast, the productivity of highly skilled and experienced workers remained largely unchanged.

The study emphasized that the AI was meant to augment, not replace, the workers, providing recommendations and relevant information to assist in their tasks.

NEWS 

Celebrities sue ChatGPT for copyright infringement

Sarah Silverman doesn’t just roast others when she’s on stage. The comedian is also now suing OpenAI and Meta for alleged copyright infringement of her content.

The lawsuits, which includes other authors, alleges (among other things) that OpenAI and Meta used content from the authors that was published on “shadow library” websites like Bibliotik and Library Genesis, among other sites to train their AI models.

In another lawsuit, award winning authors Mona Awad and Paul Tremblay also sued OpenAI for using their work without consent.

These lawsuits anticipate the broader tensions between creative professionals and generative AI tools. There is rising concern among creatives with regards to how these advanced technologies could affect their careers and incomes, which may lead to more legal challenges in the future.

The Authors Guild — an advocacy group for writers — published an open letter urging tech and AI companies to seek permission and compensate writers for using their copyrighted works to train AI programs.
