ChatGPT is dominating different fields – except this profession

Sorry, ChatGPT, looks like you'll have to stick to crunching data instead of numbers for now. But hey, at least you're still making us laugh! Move over, humans! GPT-4, the latest AI sensation from OpenAI, has been making waves with its impressive achievements, from acing the bar exam to nailing 13 out of 15 AP exams.

But when it comes to accounting, it seems like ChatGPT – the original version, at least – still needs some number-crunching practice. In a recent study by researchers at Brigham Young University and 186 other universities, ChatGPT went head-to-head against human accounting students. The ending? Humans took home the trophy.

As ChatGPT continues to skyrocket as the fastest growing tech platform ever, reaching a whopping 100 million users in no time, the debate about its role in education has been heating up.

To shed some light on its potential, lead study author and accounting professor, David Wood, enlisted 327 co-authors from 186 educational institutions in 14 countries. They threw a mind-boggling 25,181 accounting exam questions at ChatGPT, and  recruited Wood's own daughter, Jessica, and some undergrads from BYU to toss another 2,268 textbook test bank questions at the AI bot.  The results were intriguing, but not quite a slam dunk for ChatGPT. While it put up a valiant effort with an overall average score of 47.4%, the human students showed who's boss with an overall average of 76.7%. Ouch, tough luck, ChatGPT!

The AI model did have some shining moments though, acing questions on accounting information systems (AIS) and auditing, and even outperforming the students on 11.3% of the questions. But when it came to tax, financial, and managerial assessments, ChatGPT stumbled a bit, possibly because math isn't its forté.

Strength-based Approach to Talent Development: What, Why and How

The roadmap to building a high-performance organisation may be to focus on a strengths-based work paradigm. Are you someone who writes down a list of things and always sticks to them? Do you tend to be sceptical until given some proof? Do you always stick to your lane while driving, or do you tend to pick someone to race against? 

These were some of the questions that opened the webinar session on a strengths-based approach to talent development moderated by Puneet Pratap Singh, Regional Director-Research & Analytics, APAC, Gallup. The webinar featured HR industry leaders, including John K. John, Vice President - Learning and Development, Reliance Industries LimitedKrishnan Unni, Chief People Officer, Mega Lifesciences; and Manavi Pathak, Head - Learning and Organizational, Samsung R&D Institute India, as panellists.

Puneet set the context for the discussion on strengths by explaining that "Talent is like a fertile piece of land, a naturally recurring pattern of thought, feelings, or behaviours that can be productively applied. And strengths are the crops that grow from it, representing one’s ability to deliver near-perfect performance in a specific task consistently."
