ChatGPT raises worries after passing the MBA test. According to recent study by a researcher at the institution, people are more anxious than ever after chatbot GPT-3 powered by artificial intelligence passed the final test for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
Professor Christian Terwiesch, the study's author, titled his research "Will Chat GPT3 Attend Wharton for an MBA?" according to NBC News.
Based on its performance in the operations management course, the bot's exam score was predicted to be between a B- and a B.
Terwiesch noted in his essay that the bot's score showed its "amazing capacity to automate some of the abilities of highly compensated knowledge workers in general, particularly knowledge workers in occupations held by MBA graduates such as analysts, managers, and consultants."
Terwiesch claimed in the research, which was published on January 17, that the bot "did a terrific job at fundamental operations management and process analysis issues."
He went on to say that the bot is "remarkably proficient at changing its replies in response to human cues."
Terwiesch's findings come as schools become more concerned that AI chatbots may encourage cheating. ChatGPT, despite the fact that chatbots are not a new technology, took off on social media in late 2022. The New York City Department of Education in the United States declared earlier this month that ChatGPT would no longer be permitted on any of its school's equipment or networks.
Much of the debate has been on how difficult it is to tell the difference between human replies and ChatGPT's conversational speaking style.
Experts in artificial intelligence and education have agreed that ChatGPT and other similar bots may impair education in the long run. Other educators and experts, however, have stated in recent interviews that they are not concerned.
Terwiesch remarked that, despite Chat GPT3's exceptional performance, it occasionally "makes surprising errors in fairly easy arithmetic at the level of sixth-grade Math."
Terwiesch claimed that ChatGPT3's test performance has "important implications for business school education, including the need for exam policies, curriculum design focusing on collaboration between human and AI, opportunities to simulate real-world decision-making processes, the need to teach creative problem solving, improved teaching productivity, and more."
