@gzutshi @iitdelhi so sorry to hear that ……my deepest condolences

Chris Tang: McKinsey reported that generative AI provides cost savings in supply chain management. A new opportunity value generation stream. #poms2023 #edebate #ai #chatgpt #supplychain

[Jay Swaminathan, Ph.D. @jmswaminathan]

#POMS2023 #edebate - #GenerativeAI could be quite useful in teaching I believe. Particularly for those new topics where one might have limited knowledge, this could be tool that accelerate the learning process. However, one should always cross check the validity. Thoughts?

[Jay Swaminathan, Ph.D. @jmswaminathan]

#POMS2023 #edebate - a fundamental issue with #GenerativeAI tools like #ChatGPT at this point of time is a lack of complete clarity about what it is trained and how it generates results. More refinement is needed before it can be adopted in #research

[Emre M Demirezen @emremd]

@swattal @asusarla @kaushikdutta @TinglongDai @jmswaminathan Potential benefits greatly outweigh the risks. However, we will have to manage the transition of Gen-AI into teaching and research well. As the capabilities of Gen-AI is still improving, we will have to first use it as an aid rather than solely rely on it. #POMS2023 #edebate

Chris Tang: It is worth it. Like Internet, Social media. The genie is out of the bottle. Use it, but be safe. #edebate #poms2023

Thanks to all the panelists for their eye opening insights! #GenerativeAI is the #wildwest with lost of opportunities, but also pitfalls
Thanks #POMS2023 for the forum to discuss this.

@TinglongDai @swattal @kaushikdutta @emremd @jmswaminathan @POMS_Edebater Subject of a new paper, perhaps :) At least there is practical relevance..

[Sunil Wattal @swattal]

very timely …..look forward to the special issue

#POMS2023 #edebate I will also take this opportunity to consider submitting your research at the Special Issue of INFORMS Journal on Computing

@kaushikdutta It all depends on how we utilize Gen-AI. A search engine is a tool, and benefit/cost depends on how you use it and your purpose. Similarly, it will depend on what our objective is when we use Gen-AI. It is great as an aid, but we cannot solely rely on it. #POMS2023 #edebate

Quick last questions for our panelists - what is your personal stance? Do you think the benefits of #GenerativeAI outweigh its risks in #teaching and #research in #bschools, especially #operations #management?
@asusarla @emremd @kaushikdutta @TinglongDai @jmswaminathan

[Tinglong Dai @TinglongDai]

@swattal @kaushikdutta @asusarla @emremd @jmswaminathan @POMS_Edebater One cool use case, as far as I can see, is to create custom chatbots that build on internal files to answer students' questions, much like a "TAbot"

#eDebate #POMS2023 I’d say one major advantage generative AI can offer is also in assembling datasets (resolving naming inconsistencies in company names for example). We can also augment data collection - synthetic datasets or synthetic subjects recruited through gen AI

[Sunil Wattal @swattal]

I agree……it can be like #fakenews on steroids. Hard to remain grounded in reality in such a world

#POMS2023

[Tinglong Dai @TinglongDai]

While #GenerativeAI has clear and abundant benefits for both teaching and research, we need to be aware of its risks. For example, it can be used to create misinformation or disinformation on a massive scale

[Sunil Wattal @swattal]

Search engines are passive, whereas LLMs can actively generate false information in form of pictures, text and video

[Kaushik Dutta @kaushikdutta]

@emremd I doubt there is any negative impact #POMS2023 #edebate Human is excellent in learning new tools and use it properly. What is the negative of search engine?

[Sunil Wattal @swattal]

#chatgpt

[Kaushik Dutta @kaushikdutta]

#POMS2023 #eDebate in recent final exams, I allowed students to use ChatGPT to write pySpark ML code on a dataset. Students who used ChatGPT without understanding what the program is doing did poorly.
