The symbiotic dance between humans and technology has delicately unfolded over millenia: an intricate choreography that reflects our relentess pursuit of progress, of innovation, and of connection. At times we take the lead, and sometimes we follow. And as this timeless dance continues, it weaves the threads of our shared story. To truly understand our relationship with technology, we must look inward, to better understand ourselves. When we better understand ourselves — our desires, our vulnerabilities, our motivations — we can unlock profound insights into how we are shaping the world around us, and how we are adapting to the changes we have put in motion.

The meteoric rise of AI has put the fear of Skynet into all of us since the launch of ChatGPT and the sudden mainstreaming of the alarm around artificial intelligence, bots, and automation. How can we put humans back into the heart of technology is the objective of our guest this morning, Declan Foster who will help us unpack, debunk and humanize this complex world of technology that now swirls around us.

Since the beginning of this year, ChatGPT has taken the world by storm, setting a record for the fastest user growth in January (reaching 100 million active users two months after launch!) The implications of this tool are far-reaching, with universities around the world scrambling to find a way to detect ChatGPT use in submitted essays, and tech giants from Google to Meta rerouting entire teams to focus on commercializing their own AI efforts. ChatGPT is first and foremost a conversational AI — so I thought “why not have a conversation about how it might impact us already-overwhelmed users!” Just a casual conversation between a curious human and the latest record-breaking emerging tech to disrupt the world as we know it.

In my latest article, I will explain what ChatGPT is and the underlying technology in what I hope are easy-to-understand terms. I will also look at the implications for the organisational change management professions, including how we might utilise this new tool. There are, of course, some potential downsides to this technology, including ethical and copyright concerns, which I will also discuss.

Technology has been an undeniable force in modern society, revolutionising how we work, shop, communicate and entertain. However, many groups lack access to the tools and resources needed to take advantage of digital technology. We are all probably familiar with the digital divide. This is the notion of a gap between those digitally included and those digitally excluded from the benefits of the digital revolution.

In this episode, Dr Jack G. Nestell leads a fun, thought-provoking, and highly relevant discussion around business systems and technology in general. This episode explores how rapid technological advances impact the way we work, our personal lives, and society in general. Please join us as we discuss “being in tune with technology”, technology adaption, emerging technology, data overload, and The Capacity Gap, technology versus human psychology, and much more!
