  12. Methodology 4 interviews - 2 in healthcare, 2 in corporate

    Identifying common themes across similar interviews
  13. Personas Realistic Healthcare (R. Healthcare) Skeptical Healthcare (S. Healthcare) Skeptical

    Corporate (S. Corporate) Enthusiastic Corporate (E. Corporate)
  14. Keep Establish Clear Limits - S. Corporate - Ensure employees

    are careful with company data - “It could be just a policy saying that you cannot enter any company proprietary data into ChatGPT query” (S. Corporate) - Often, they will take an LLM and further refine it with company data Upskilling and Reskilling - Companies have an active hand in shaping employee knowledge
  15. Start Ensure Job Security - R. and S. Healthcare -

    Generative AI won’t replace doctors - “A lot of researchers think of these as assistive technologies rather than things that will replace human interactions” (R. Healthcare) - E. Corporate and S. Corporate - Adapt or die - “10% never got on board… and eventually, they left on their own or were laid off” (E. Corporate)
  16. Implications Job Security ⇒ more senior computer scientists in the

    future ⇒ more innovation (E. Corporate) Policy needs to come before further innovation, ie. step by step integration Companies should be proactive, not reactive
  17. Work being done to improve privacy with generative AI How

    is it keeping up with actual innovation? Attitudes towards job security across various industries Further Research
  18. Generative AI is still very new Companies should focus on

    small, edible steps Researchers should look to applicability of theories across all industries Conclusion
