By the end of 2022, the use of AI tools by organizations is not something that employees hide from their bosses at work, but by 2023, especially after AI tool building tools like (ChatGPT) become commonplace, things will start to change.
A recent survey of more than 11,000 people at Fishbowl, a social network for professionals, found that 43% of employees now use tools like ChatGPT at work, marking an increase in employees using AI tools each year compared to 27% in a Fishbowl survey. In early January 2023.
The study also states that 70% of employees who use these tools (a significant percentage) do so secretly at work without their managers knowing. The study included more than 11,700 employees using the Fishbowl app from major companies such as Amazon, Google, Meta, Twitter, IBM, JPMorgan, and others.
Software developers, consultants, and bankers were among the first to use ChatGPT bots to generate emails, reports, and code snippets.
Company business operations:
According to Bloomberg, some Wall Street firms have banned the use of AI chatbots, including: Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and others.
A Gartner survey of hiring managers found that 48% write policies for employees who use ChatGPT bots due to risks such as accuracy, data security, and copyright infringement. While many companies are still trying to manage the use of ChatGPT.
The survey also found that 34% of HR managers have no plans to issue new policies on the use of AI.
Can companies block the use of ChatGPT?
After a while, it became increasingly difficult not to use tools like ChatGPT at work, as OpenAI had made great strides in integrating its technology into desktop applications through a partnership with Microsoft.
Microsoft has integrated the (GPT-4) model into the Office suite of applications: Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Word, and Microsoft is currently testing these updated applications with 20 companies, including 8 in the (Fortune 500) list of companies, and Microsoft refused to announce These companies now.
As such, companies are likely to establish rules and policies for employees to use generative AI tools, and companies should assess the potential risks of adopting these tools and develop policies accordingly. Make sure she can mitigate any risks that come up later, because prevention isn't in her best interest anyway.
