It's been one year since the public release of ChatGPT , the remarkable generative AI platform from OpenAI that has energized transformative promise (and controversy) in the tech sector. In this bonus episode of "Problem Solved," we talk with Joe Wilck, Ph.D., PE, from Bucknell University, who has been working with colleagues on research about the capabilities of large language models (LLM) like ChatGPT, Google's Bard and others. We ask him about the new place in society and work that ChatGPT has seemingly carved out for itself, the ethical debate surrounding the use of LLMs and chatbots in academia, and just what this innovation means for industrial and systems engineers. Joe also welcomes questions you may have about ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. You can reach out to him at joe.wilck@gmail.com.

Sponsored by the University of Louisville: Remember when a call from jail sparked an ISE project assigning inmates to various facilities in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections? And how that led to a startup company? Probably not, but Professor Tamás Terlaky of Lehigh University does. He and two of his former students, Dr. Mohammad Shahabsafa and Anshul Sharma, talk about how considering all inmate needs upfront reduces violence in the system, speeds up inmate treatment and counseling, trims transportation costs and pares down the manpower needed to make assignments – which could save the corrections department nearly $20 million in five years.…

Sponsored by the University of Louisville: There's a little engineer inside all of us, according to Tina Agustiady. But as it turns out, her son - a first-grader - is already an engineer himself. It must run in the genes. As part of a career day event for her son's elementary school class, Agustiady gave a presentation that left the entire class wanting to become engineers, too. Inspired to become one herself because of her father's career, Agustiady, a certified Lean Six Sigma master black belt and lean consultant with MetLife, explains to IISE's David Brandt for "Problem Solved" just how much we all have learned about Lean in the earliest years of schooling, from boarding the school bus to desk organization and even just following in a line. She also explains how similar the teaching of Lean can be between young children and adults. You can download Agustiady's presentation at: https://link.iise.org/podcast_1stgradelean…
