Japanese brokerage Daiwa Securities Co. has taken the lead among major financial institutions in the country in adopting artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to help its employees work more efficiently.
Like nuclear weapons and biotechnology before them, artificial intelligence has brought the world to an existential crisis in which, according to some experts, humanity's future could be at risk if proper checks are not put in place on a global scale.
