Responsible Generative AI
3.1 TYPES OF PROFESSIONS THAT MAY GET IMPACTED
Professions that will be touched may range from low end reception desk personnel and customer support professionals to high end of cognition such as software programmers , legal attorneys , medical practitioners , and even threatening creative writers , artists , and musicians .
3.1.1 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
In recent decades , software development has been thought of as a “ safe profession ” despite the onslaught of automation ; however , foundational models trained on millions of lines of software code have already demonstrated the capabilities of generating bug-free and well-annotated code samples . That is the “ dream comes true ” moment for AI researchers , who predicted that AI machines will be able to be self-programmed . Software development is very human-labor centric . Like in any field , run-of-the-mill practitioners in this field too could cause lots of pain by creating erroneous code .
GitHub Copilot is a GenAI tool that helps developers write code . According to this article from Harvard Business Review 11 , in a six-week pilot at Deloitte with 55 developers using GPT-3 ' s Codex tool , a majority of users rated the resulting code ’ s accuracy at 65 % or better . Overall , the Deloitte experiment found a 20 % improvement in code development speed .
Brown University researchers recently reported 12 how they leveraged large language models throughout the entire software development process , streamlining and unifying key processes through natural language communication , thereby eliminating the need for specialized models at each phase . CHATDEV , a virtual chat-powered software development application , was successfully mirrored after the established waterfall model with commendable efficiency and cost-effectiveness unveiling fresh possibilities for integrating LLMs into the realm of software development .
3.1.2 LAW AND GOVERNANCE
There are multiple use cases in the legal profession that could dramatically alter the way the lawyers work and impact their professional job market .
Most lawyers - especially junior attorneys - spend their time on three tasks :
• Understanding / creating a brief on a case filed as part of noting the significant points .
• Preparing a formal legal filing which may have a standard template and format .
• Researching similar previous cases , arguments , and verdicts , and associated law points ( excerpts from laws prevailing in that locale ).
