🌟Essential Revelation

ChatGPT can now see, hear, and speak

We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They offer a new, more intuitive type of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about.

Voice and image give you more ways to use ChatGPT in your life. Snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about what’s interesting about it. When you’re home, snap pictures of your fridge and pantry to figure out what’s for dinner (and ask follow up questions for a step by step recipe). After dinner, help your child with a math problem by taking a photo, circling the problem set, and having it share hints with both of you.

We’re rolling out voice and images in ChatGPT to Plus and Enterprise users over the next two weeks. Voice is coming on iOS and Android (opt-in in your settings) and images will be available on all platforms.

Implementing AI in your business requires following the 80/20 rule of ‘fluid’ organizations

As CFOs determine the use cases for investing in AI, a major element to consider is how the technology will fundamentally shift the company’s operating model, including the workforce.

A new article published in the Wharton School’s business journal, “Disruption or Distortion? The Impact of AI on Future Operating Models,” offers insight on how to integrate AI into the fabric of an organization’s operations and strategy.

The authors make some interesting points. For starters, organizations will need to chart their own AI-transformation journey by prioritizing a “fluid” or “adaptive blueprint” over “brittle hierarchical” company structures. “Fluid organizations follow the 80/20 rule, able to respond to 80% of predictable events while remaining flexible enough to navigate the 20% of unforeseen challenges,” according to the article.
