Open lezing Pieter Buteneers: Hoe systemisch denkt Chat GTP?
Tue 12 March 2024 18:00–20:00 CET
In deze sessie willen we het debat openen rond “hoe systemisch ‘denkt’ ChatGPT?”. Dat ChatGPT de wereld zal veranderen is duidelijk. Wat nog niet duidelijk is, is hoe groot deze impact zal zijn. Als topexpert in chatbots zal Pieter inzichten verschaffen in wat de impact werkelijk is, maar ook in hoe ChatGPT leert en evolueert. We zullen inzoomen op hoe dit organisaties en werk zal transformeren of veranderen. Daarbij staan een aantal vragen centraal. Kan ChatGPT met een overvloed aan info waar het accent niet systemisch van natuur is, toch systemische rijkheid brengen? Wat betekent dit nu echt? Wat zijn daarbij de begrenzingen? Hoe kan dit verder evolueren, voorbij de beperkingen?

Törmäätkö usein haasteisiin organisaation kehittämisessä? Muuttuuko ympäristö nopeammin kuin suunnitelmasi? Ajautuvatko eri kehittämistoimet törmäyskurssille? Mistä lähteä liikkeelle laajempaan muutokseen? Puuttuuko muutokselta riittävä yhteinen näkemys? Systeemiajattelu ja systeemimenetelmät ovat enenevässä määrin organisaatioiden lukutaitoa. Ne tarjoavat organisaatioiden kehittämiseen kokonaisvaltaisen näkökulman ja auttavat muovaamaan vuorovaikutussuhteita osa-alueiden välillä.
