Joshua Meadows, an assistant professor and director of Data Driven WV at the WVU John Chambers College of Business and Economics in Morgantown, said the technology’s role has matured dramatically since its 2022 debut, moving from a “neat demo” to an essential part of daily operations for businesses and public institutions alike. Joshua Meadows, director of Data Driven WV, and service assistant professor, says "ChatGPT is now a household name and an essential business tool,” Meadows said. “But where it needs to shine is as a workflow assistant with accountability. To serve our needs, ChatGPT must treat its own outputs merely as drafts, keeping humans responsible for decisions. That’s how its early promise is going to translate into repeatable, trustworthy results.”
