Episode Synopsis
Chris and Ian are joined by postdoc researcher Jana Retkowski and associate professor Ella Hafermalz, both from the KIN Center for Digital Innovation at VU Amsterdam, to discuss ‘Managing a ChatGPT-empowered workforce: Understanding its affordances and side effects’, co-written with professor Marleen Huysman.Hot off the press this autumn as part of a FREE special edition of Business Horizons, ‘Written by ChatCPT’, the paper captures the zeitgiest when ChatGPT exploded late 2022, and explores the outcomes as early adopters moved from ludic tinkering to early workplace adoption.
