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 Limited; Krishnan 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."
