OpenAI\u2019s generative artificial intelligence tool, ChatGPT, has taken the world by storm since its release in November 2022. It\u2019s useful for everything from generating emails to writing code. However, it has garnered mixed feelings \u2014 some people use it to boost productivity, while others worry it will take their jobs. Here\u2019s how it could affect careers in government and the public sector.<\/p>\n

Possible Downsides of ChatGPT<\/h4>\n

ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the government workplace, but it isn\u2019t perfect.<\/p>\n

First, because ChatGPT only uses sources from 2021 and earlier<\/a>, it can\u2019t stay up to date on current events. That can lead to knowledge gaps and misinformation. Therefore, it\u2019s not great at answering questions about upcoming dates, so government officials will still need to do that.<\/p>\n

The second issue is that when ChatGPT can\u2019t find an answer to something on the web, it does what it does best \u2014 make things up. After all, OpenAI designed it as a generative text tool, not a search engine.<\/p>\n

Ask it to cite its sources and it will often fabricate news sites or people\u2019s names. This bug is called a hallucination. If public officials don\u2019t fact-check their AI-generated content, they could accidentally spread very credible-sounding misinformation.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT also has issues with bias. If you\u2019re wondering how an impartial, unfeeling machine could possibly have racist or sexist opinions, it\u2019s not that the software itself came up with these ideas. Rather, the people who fed it information used biased sources in their training database, causing ChatGPT to occasionally spew offensive content. It\u2019s critical to carefully read through all AI-generated writing before publishing it or sending it in an email.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the potential for ChatGPT to replace human workers. Automating administrative tasks can lead to job losses, especially when it comes to low-skill positions. However, ChatGPT can\u2019t do every job. Certain public sector positions require people to detect things AI can\u2019t pick up on, like whether someone applying for a driver\u2019s license appears mentally unwell. There will always be a need for human presence in government.<\/p>\n

Potential Benefits of ChatGPT<\/h4>\n

ChatGPT can make many people\u2019s jobs easier. First, it shines when it comes to doing repetitive tasks. Government jobs often involve tedium like filling out paperwork, answering emails and creating budgets, and ChatGPT can vastly improve efficiency and employee morale by automating these tasks.<\/p>\n

For example, ChatGPT can write and edit grant proposals that include details about fundraising needs<\/a>, the size of the workplace and other crucial information. It can write speeches for public officials. ChatGPT can even categorize tax forms and route them to the necessary departments.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its ability to quickly compile information from various sources, it can also serve as a jumping-off point for research on an actual search engine. Although ChatGPT provides misinformation from time to time, it can help government employees find information about certain policies, regulations, procedures and statistics that they can then look up on Google.<\/p>\n

So far, only 8.2% of employees<\/a> have tried using ChatGPT in the workplace, but the practice is gaining ground. People have used it to draft proposal requests, create talking points for meetings, analyze budget data, write social media posts and draft press releases. The number of tasks it can perform is virtually unlimited.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT could help workers in the public sector avoid burnout. Many government employees struggle to accomplish their full workload in a given day. AI can automate dull, repetitive or overwhelming tasks, allowing people to focus on the more fulfilling and human-oriented side of their careers.<\/p>\n

For example, it can serve as a customer service chatbot that helps defuse angry members of the public before they talk to a government employee. It can categorize people\u2019s inquiries or comments based on their implied tone, then direct them to the employee they likely need to speak with. Sometimes it can answer questions and avoid redirecting callers altogether.<\/p>\n

The Pros and Cons of ChatGPT<\/h4>\n

Overall, ChatGPT can make many people\u2019s jobs a lot easier, especially when it comes to administrative duties. The technology is rapidly improving and expanding its number of potential uses.<\/p>\n

Although some people understandably worry AI will take their jobs, it\u2019s more likely that ChatGPT will serve as a helpful tool for most workers rather than replacing them entirely. After all, there are some things a computer just can\u2019t replicate.<\/p>\n
