ChatGPT gained intense popularity virtually immediately following launch on November 30, 2022. Within weeks, students were cheating on college essays, and Ryan Reynolds even used it to write a commercial for Mint Mobile. In January, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users and became the fastest-growing app in history – faster than Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

To learn out more about this Large Language Model and what it means for communications professionals and beyond, we've assembled a panel of Richmond experts to share their thoughts and experiences:
