The past five months have seen a flurry of groundbreaking AI launches. These have included OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November and this month’s release of GPT-4, the generative AI model that underpins the chatbot. Many experts believe these tools have the power to transform industries. Certainly the big technology companies have been racing each other to weave next-generation AI capabilities into their products and services. 
 
As with any disruptive innovation, particularly one that continues to evolve so rapidly, there are mounting concerns about misinformation, ethics and the potential impact on jobs. Last week, an open letter published by the Future of Life Institute was signed by Elon Musk and many prominent AI professors and researchers. It called for a six-month halt to the "dangerous race" to develop systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched GPT-4.

At Chief Disruptor, we’ve witnessed a surge of interest in discovering more about potential use cases for next-generation AI applications. Our C-level members are also having healthy debates about how to ensure that AI investments are made responsibly and ethically. 
 
In response to the hype and headlines around AI, we have developed the AI Business Impact Series. The series is designed to help our members make sense of this rapidly evolving disruptive technology and help them successfully integrate and scale AI in their organisations.
 
For the launch of the series, we are surveying our members to explore the business priorities for AI, the challenges facing members as they try to maximise business impact from AI and concerns about implementing AI.
