Principled Achievement, with AnnaMaria DeSalva

Since we first heard about it back in December, the buzz has continued to grow surrounding ChatGPT and other LLMs, or Large Language Models. Companies and organizations are working to determine what role these LLMs will play. Our guest today calls ChatGPT "fast-moving" and "fast-growing." And more importantly, he says LLMs are a breakthrough technology with great potential—much like the internet when it was first introduced.
Rajiv Kohli is a professor at the William & Mary School of Business. He's among the top 20 Management Information Systems researchers in the world and an expert in digital transformation. He joins us on this episode to talk about LLMs, what they are, and where they might take us in the future.
