ChatGPT, AI and Education 22 Mar 2023 2:22 PM (2 years ago)
ChatGPT is a chatbot application developed by OpenAI. The purpose of ChatGPT is to optimize the language model for dialogues. Yes, the dialogue is ChatGPT’s way of interacting with us, enabling it to quickly answer a wide range of questions from the easy to the difficult for humans.
The popularity of ChatGPT at this moment is continuously increasing. Google Trend data shows that as of December 25-31, 2022, the keyword search popularity of ChatGPT was at 26, while in the period January 22-28, 2023, it hit 88. The highest popularity score is 100, whereas 50 means half-popular and 0 equals none.
However, the existence of Artificial Intelligence technology is like a two-edged knife, with positive and negative sides. ChatGPT helps humans speed up obtaining information and knowledge, including writing lines of programming coding.
Negatively, ChatGPT could shift jobs, even white-collar workers. It was recognized by ChatGPT when asked the question.
Is ChatGPT suitable for education? Of course, as mentioned earlier, it is a way to accelerate the knowledge we want and need. Regarding economics, ChatGPT helps efficiently cost humans to acquire it.
Nevertheless, what are the negative implications for education? ChatGPT describes three possible disadvantages. First, a decline in motivation for learning. Second, decreased quality of education as ChatGPT cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information presented. Third, a lack of social interaction.[]
The Threat of Economic Disruption to Employment and Strategies to Counter it 22 Mar 2023 2:12 PM (2 years ago)
In the era of economic disruption, there are changes in the use of labour in production, trade and service activities. Artificial intelligence technology produces automation systems that threaten blue-collar workers and those with high educational qualifications and skills (white-collar).
While the disruption poses threats, on the other hand, it also creates opportunities. Therefore, disruption is responded to by mitigating the threats and increasing the chances.
A clear line is that economic disruption will decrease the number of workers employed in a business unit. Hence, multiplying the number of business units is necessary to defend the number of jobs.
In the year 2019, Indonesia had 65.47 million business units. About 98.67% were micro-enterprises, 1.22% were small enterprises, 0.10% were medium enterprises, and 0.01% were large enterprises.
The doubling of the number of business units means that it increases the opportunities for citizens to go into business. This doubling naturally involves entrepreneurship, market opportunities, access to capital and technology, supply chains, packaging and marketing.
Furthermore, it designs Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) to be more involved in production and service activities. This model has a more significant impact on the economy than if most MSEs are in trade only.
The next is to scale up more Micro Enterprises to become Small Enterprises and Small Enterprises to Medium Enterprises. Likewise, Medium Enterprises leap to become Large Enterprises. []
