- The Gradient of Generative AI Release: Methods and Considerations (2023, background): “This is particularly true for generative AI systems, which can be leveraged for a broad range of tasks and are sometimes referred to as “general-purpose” [96].”
- Closing the AI accountability gap: defining an end-to-end framework for internal algorithmic auditing (2020, background): “Also, as AI is at times considered a “general purpose technology” with multiple and dual uses [78], the lack of reliable standardization poses significant challenges to governance efforts.”
- The Productivity J-Curve: How Intangibles Complement General Purpose Technologies (2018, unknown): “We would therefore expect, after an implementation lag period, for AI to significantly impact economic growth as other GPTs have (Brynjolfsson, Rock, and Syverson 2017; Cockburn, Henderson, and Stern 2018; Aghion, Jones, and Jones 2017; Agrawal, McHale, and Oettl 2018; Trajtenberg 2018).”
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning and health systems (2018, background): “The implementation of such technologies tends to result in “widespread economic disruption, with concomitant winners and losers” [15 ].”
- GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer)— A Comprehensive Review on Enabling Technologies, Potential Applications, Emerging Challenges, and Future Directions (2023, background): “These applications are enabled by the generation of high-quality and diverse data like large-scale corpora of text data with different fast-growing enabling technologies [13], [14].”
- Could Machine Learning Be a General Purpose Technology? A Comparison of Emerging Technologies Using Data from Online Job Postings (2022, unknown): “…Given that prediction tasks are pervasive in business and society, it has been widely speculated that ML is a specific type of transformative technology called a general purpose technology (GPT) (e.g. Brynjolfsson, Rock, and Syverson 2019; Cockburn, Henderson, and Stern 2019; Trajtenberg 2019).”
