The famous chatbot powered by AI ChatGPT passed the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program’s final examination, which was administered by a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. ChatGPT passes MBA exam given by Pennsylvania’s professor
Professor Christian Terwiesch, the author of the research, wrote in his paper that the bot scored between a B- and B. The score showed a “remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by MBA graduates including analysts, managers, and consultants.”
ChatGPT passes MBA exam given by Pennsylvania’s professor as ChatGPT performed really well at “basic operations management and process analysis questions including those that are based on case studies”, with “excellent” explanations provided.
Teachers have recently grown excessively concerned about the development of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which could readily encourage student cheating. This month, according to NBC News, the New York City Department of Education announced a ban on this software from school networks and devices.
Advanced AI-driven software like ChatGPT makes it difficult to tell if a user is responding to a prompt from a machine or a human.
For the experiment, GPT-3 was used, a much advanced and senior version of ChatGPT that has become controversial. Terwiesch says that the present version of GPT-3 is “not capable of handling more advanced process analysis questions, even when they are based on fairly standard templates” which includes “process flows with multiple products and problems with stochastic effects such as demand variability.”
The research experiment has been noted to have important implications for business school education especially “exam policies, curriculum design focusing on collaboration between humans and AI, opportunities to simulate real-world decision-making processes, the need to teach creative problem solving, improved teaching productivity, and more.”
Terwiesch, on the other hand, is convinced that there is a method to combine AI with education to improve student learning and allow teachers to “reimagine teaching and find different ways of engaging the kids.”
