Does AI work?

It's the one thing every business leader needs to know.

If I put AI to work in my organisation, will it screw everything up?

While we should all be in experiment mode right now - until someone figures out how to make the probabilistic, deterministic - OpenAI researchers have been putting AI to work on real tasks.

The results are spectacular. Spectacularly good, and spectacularly bad.

But just like Tim Henman, you have to give it a chance. And maybe great things will follow - for AI.

On today's show we look wider, at many ways we've tested AI in organisations and across functions and disciplines - and how it's fared.

And then we zoom in on GDPval, which sounds like someone your gran knows who reads The Economist but is actually that OpenAI research paper that explores LLMs in the context of the organisation. We hear the pros and cons and whether now's the time to execute agents, or execute our dreams that AI is ready to replace us all.

Enjoy the show.
