AI chatbots are showing up everywhere. In November Microsoft will release Windows Copilot – and half a billion Windows 11 users will have a powerful AI chatbot ‘baked into’ the operating system. How do we use these tools safely and wisely? My new book Getting Started with ChatGPT and AI chatbots is a gentle introduction to this incredible technology breakthrough.

While AI chatbots do not think, and are not trying to be deceitful, it’s in the nature of their programming to always provide a response – but they have no way to know whether that response is right or wrong, only that it is probable. A probable response will fool someone if it’s in an area outside their own expertise. Knowing this, how can we use AI safely? That’s a topic I explore in detail in my new book “Getting Started with ChatGPT and AI chatbots”
Since last year’s launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI chatbot, we’ve seen the emergence of ‘The Big Three’ – ChatGPT plus Microsoft’s Bing Chat and Google’s Bard. Are they all good?

It’s all part of my new book, Getting Started with ChatGPT and AI chatbots coming in January from BCS Books.

In this brief guide – adapted from my new book ‘Getting Started with ChatGPT and AI chatbots’ – we look at the questions we need to ask before we hit Enter. This is highly recommended for anyone who uses an AI chatbot – either for work or in personal pursuits.
