1. LLMs won’t steal your job
It’s important to communicate that ChatGPT and other LLMs can’t replace humans, the experts agreed. Otherwise, workers may panic and managers may plan for a future that never arrives.
The truth is, people have unique skills that machines can’t mimic, like the ability to empathize, imagine, and judge. We may be informed by the data in our environment, but we’re not dependent on it to function. That makes us inherently valuable to the companies we’re employed by.
2. Teams will get more done, faster
While LLMs won’t replace workers, they will empower professionals to move faster and get more done. This is one benefit of embedding LLMs into your workflows that is worth highlighting, the panelists agreed.
By accelerating workflows, LLMs will restore employee bandwidth—empowering people to spend more time elevating the quality of their execution and improving the systems and processes that facilitate their activities.
3. It’s not as simple as flipping a switch
Many executives are excited to invest in LLMs because they recognize their potential to drive positive business outcomes. But few leaders understand what conversational designers do behind the scenes to make LLMs useful.
Our panel of experts agreed that guardrails are necessary—a layer between what’s generated by LLMs and what’s delivered to the customer. And building rules, policy, and governance into conversational AI requires both careful consideration and cross-functional collaboration.
For these reasons, it’s important to set clear expectations around the need for human supervision when discussing LLMs.
