This is potentially a “very big deal”……

A team of social scientists collaborating with Boston Consulting Group recently conducted an extensive experiment on AI’s impact on professional work.

Their working paper reveals that consultants using ChatGPT-4 significantly outperformed their counterparts who did not use the tool.

The study focused on 18 different tasks typical of an elite consulting firm, and the results showed improvements across all performance metrics.

This finding suggests that AI tools like ChatGPT can substantially enhance task performance in professional settings.
