In March 2024 George was invited to present An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI), to the Management Team of The Office Authority Group. The presentation covered the history of AI and some of its existing applications, including some dating back in time which were not widely acknowledged as AI. The presentation opened our eyes to the potential for the use of AI in
business operations, both for day-to-day routine repeatable activities as well as for value-add functions that today require lengthy research and specialist training.
The presentation included an introduction to Chat GPT which was still relatively new at the time, including a demonstration
of how AI draws on large language models to perform certain specialist functions at the touch of a button. The example selected was relevant to our industry, featuring the creation of a sophisticated digital image in seconds, based on specific data requirements fed into the program.
The demonstration was powerful and brought home to the team how AI would reshape our operations over time. George’s presentation also cleared up certain myths about AI including the dangers of relying on AI without question or discretion.
