Managers in Switzerland want a European alternative to ChatGPT
On November 30, 2022, OpenAI presented ChatGPT to the general public - a sensation for business and society. After twelve months, IT service provider adesso wanted to know how the application had been received in business. For many users in Switzerland, ChatGPT has become an everyday and reliable helper. Nevertheless, a clear majority would like to see a European offering.
ChatGPT has achieved a level of popularity that many a celebrity dreams of. 90 percent of respondents know the name. Almost 70 percent have already worked with the application. A look at second place shows just how much ChatGPT dominates the market: only 23% of respondents used the image generation software DALL-E in the same period. Within a year, ChatGPT has established itself as a generic term for applications based on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). What is surprising is how positively people rate their work with ChatGPT. 70 percent say they are satisfied or even very satisfied with the application. Weak points in the system such as questionable content or fictitious facts do not bother the overwhelming majority.
Noticeable impact on productivity
One reason for this positive response: ChatGPT makes you more productive. At least that's how users feel. 29% state that they save three to five hours of working time per week by using AI. 16% even estimate the effect to be more than five hours per week. Be it writing, brainstorming or analyzing longer texts: OpenAI's chatbot has a noticeable effect on your own work performance. ChatGPT is now part of everyday life for users. A good 50 percent use the application several times a week, and almost 18 percent even use it several times a day.
ChatGPT is backed by OpenAI, a US company. 64% of respondents would therefore like to see a comparable GenAI application from a European provider - a great opportunity for companies such as the start-up Aleph Alpha, which focuses on "AI Made in Europe".
