My guest today is Avi Goldfarb. Avi is a professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, the Rotman share in artificial intelligence and health care as well as the co-author of two best-selling books on AI and its economic impact. His most recent book, Power and Prediction is probably the best piece of content I have read in explaining how AI may reshape business models, systems, and products. We recorded this before GPT4 was released last week, which, if anything, makes obvious ideas on AI's impact all the more point in. Please enjoy my conversation with Avi Goldfarb.
ChatGPT, Prediction Machines, and the Future of AI

Avi, we were just chatting before we hit record about ChatGPT. We have to start here. I'm so curious about your reaction to it because it came out almost immediately after your book was published. So we're going to talk about all the ideas in the book in great detail. But first, just give me your unvarnished reaction to when you saw that come out and what you've been thinking about it since.
