BlackRock's COO said he gave his staff a memo written by ChatGPT and they couldn't tell AI wrote it

BlackRock COO Robert Goldstein revealed that a strategy memo for a board meeting was written by AI program ChatGPT and employees couldn't tell it was AI-generated. The feedback Goldstein received was mostly about the memo's tone, with some employees expressing dislike for it. When they were informed that the memo was written by a computer, some said they didn't like the computer's tone.

While BlackRock is optimistic about the potential of AI, with CEO Larry Fink stating that the company's investments in AI would boost productivity, others are more cautious. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that AI could hit the job market "like a tsunami," leading to misinformation and increased inequality if not managed well.
