Motivation and Rationale:
ChatGPT is here to stay and major tech companies have made significant investment
in it. However, it is natural to expect many variations of ChatGPT type
concepts will emerge due to its versatility and ease with which information is
aggregated. Therefore, it is timely to discuss the applications of ChatGPT for
the benefit of the end user community. Hence, this workshop is an opportune
moment to generate serious discussions so that conference audiences could
understand the direction of ChatGPT.
Abstract:
ChatGPT has gained serious attention recently and has generated many discussions
in the news and social media as to its applications. In the academic circles,
ChatGPT is discussed in regard to academic integrity, developing content for
courses, developing assessment tasks and framing policies. Many secondary and
tertiary institutions are seriously looking into a policy framework to
accommodate ChatGPT related issues. Similarly in the health context, ChatGPT is
used in many applications including producing referral type of letters. In the
business contexts, ChatGPT has raised interest as to how business processes
could be modelled.
What appears to be emerging is that ChatGPT has spanned a number of
domains and each stakeholder is seeing the applications that are suited to
their own domains. While the underlying technical domain is not new, namely
aggregating available information using a natural language type of query, the
availability of information, amassed over a period of years, has enabled
ChatGPT to produce information aggregation that goes beyond the current search
engines. This has generated tremendous interest among users as they are able to
see useful applications of ChatGPT for their own use.

Main Conference
Conference website:
https://www.wi-iat.com/wi-iat2023/
We invite proposals that are discussion papers, research in progress,
case studies, reviews, commentaries and technical papers.
The proposed workshop will have the following potential contributions to
WI-IAT:
These ChatGPT-based topics are expected to attract interesting and
diverse discussions that are timely and urgently needed for researchers to
understand its technical development and business applications so that the
academic, research and the business community can bring together their
collective views to the conference audiences.
Workshop/special session format planned (keynote, expected number of
presented papers, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, etc.)
We expect that the number of accepted contributions will be limited to
no more than 12. It will be half day workshop. Depending on the number of
accepted papers the workshop schedule could be organized as follows.
Organising Committee:
The organising committee will consist of both academic researchers and
practitioners so that the nexus between academic and industry could be assured.
Similarly, we are endeavouring to source presentations from both academic and
businesses to generate robust conversations.
