7 Ways to Use ChatGPT at Work to Boost Your Productivity, Make Your Job Easier, and Save a Ton of Time
With AI has come the fear of a major shift in the workplace, where employees are replaced by artificial intelligence. Recent reports, however, contradict this, even making a case for AI to help automate tasks for workers and, ultimately, make them more efficient and satisfied at work. In a Winter 2023 article for Entrepreneur.com, Oded Netzer, Arthur J. Samberg Professor of Business and Vice Dean for Research, referred to AI as “an enhancer than full replacement of jobs.” In a similar article for CNBC, Tania Babina, Assistant Professor of Business in the Finance Division at CBS, expressed her belief that AI can empower workers. Netzer’s and Babina’s sentiments reflect Columbia’s ongoing investment in AI, with many faculty members finding innovative ways for students to use it in the classroom, effectively preparing them for the workforce. From writing cover letters to finding errors in code to creating a business plan, the professional opportunities for using AI are vast.Read more about how AI is helping workers to streamline tasks and improve efficiency.

These jobs are most likely to be replaced by chatbots like ChatGPT
What jobs are most vulnerable to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT? Artificial intelligence is rewriting the future of work, and Columbia Business School Professor of Business Oded Netzer is at the forefront of this conversation. In a CBS News article, Netzer discusses the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and emphasizes that while AI can take over specific tasks, it often enhances rather than replaces roles. AI can write basic programming code, streamline administrative tasks like emails, and draft legal documents, allowing professionals to work more efficiently. Those unwilling to adapt to these new AI-driven workflows may find themselves left behind.As AI continues to evolve, Netzer explains how businesses can adjust to these changes. He suggests viewing jobs as a set of tasks that AI can support, helping industries balance human creativity with machine efficiency. For company leaders, this means developing strategies to integrate AI in ways that empower, rather than displace, their teams.Read the full article for more on which roles are most at risk and how AI might reshape your job.
