Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku believes that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, will have a positive impact on society and increase productivity. Despite concerns from some people about the implications of AI, Kaku likens chatbots to “glorified tape recorders.” He explains that these chatbots gather information from the web and present it as if they created it themselves, leading some to mistake them for actual humans.

However, Kaku points out that chatbots cannot differentiate between true and false information without human input. Despite this limitation, AI has gained significant popularity in recent years. A study conducted by Purdue University revealed that ChatGPT struggled to answer coding questions correctly, giving incorrect responses 52% of the time. Nonetheless, the field of generative AI is continually evolving, and its technology will improve over time.

Just as the initial version of the iPhone faced technical issues, AI has the potential to transform how users access and interact with information. Approximately 40% of executives recognize the need to adopt generative AI urgently, with the market projected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2032.

Contrary to concerns about the threat posed by AI, Jeremiah Lotz, managing vice president at PSCU, emphasizes that the real danger lies in companies that fail to embrace this technology. He asserts that while AI enhances consumer interactions in financial services, it does not replace human interactions. Instead, it optimizes efficiency and enables individuals to focus on high-value areas, as human knowledge and capital remain invaluable.
