Generative AI was introduced to the working population less than a year ago with the launch of ChatGPT. From the start, it has been clear that many tasks and processes could be radically changed with its help – made easier, more efficient, even eliminated altogether. In what way exactly, though, is still anyone’s guess. A new Aalto University research project, ‘Smarter Work with Generative AI’, addresses this question, bringing together researchers of industrial engineering and management as well as companies to support the latter in utilizing generative AI.
