Summary

This working paper titled 'GPTs Are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models' explores the implications of large language models (LLMs) on the U.S. labor market. The study assesses how LLMs, particularly Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), could affect the workforce and tasks across various industries. The findings suggest that a significant portion of the U.S. workforce could see their work tasks impacted by the introduction of LLMs, with potential implications for economic, social, and policy considerations. The paper highlights the general-purpose potential of LLMs and the importance of integrating them with complementary technologies to maximize their impact. Overall, the paper provides insights into the evolving landscape of language models and their potential effects on jobs.
