Generative AI in Management – Today and Tomorrow

Jerzy Korczak, Ilona Pawełoszek

Abstract


Theoretical background: The rapid and exponential technological advancements have far-reaching impacts on management information systems, management practices, and human life. The promising outcomes in Artificial Intelligence and cutting-edge research on semantic networks and natural language processing have motivated the authors to envision the future of management technology.

Purpose of the article: Our paper focuses on the new communication facilities and artificial intelligence models used to process management-type queries in natural language.

Research methods: The article discusses recently developed technologies, proposed by Google and Microsoft, notably Google Bard and Bing integrated with ChatGPT-4. Both chatbots use Generative AI methods and large language models to understand domain-based queries and generate answers.

Main findings: The practical and social implications of new models in management practice are discussed. To illustrate the qualities and weaknesses of the features of new technologies, four examples of management decision-making are discussed. The case studies also show differences between these two technologies. Finally, the paper concludes by summarizing the expectations and limitations of Generative AI applications in management. The paper is one of the first publications describing and demonstrating the idea of interfaces in natural language in business-oriented applications.
