My Machine and I: ChatGPT and the Future of Human-Machine Collaboration in Africa
This addresses the gap in understanding AI's impact on human-machine collaboration specifically in Africa, but it is incremental as a survey paper.
The paper investigates ChatGPT's role in human-machine collaboration in Africa, finding it prevalent in academic sectors like education and research and relatively effective in improving collaboration.
Recent advancements in technology have necessitated a paradigm shift in the people use technology necessitating a new research field called Human-Machine collaboration. ChatGPT, an Artificial intelligence (AI) assistive technology, has gained mainstream adoption and implementation in academia and industry; however, a lot is left unknown about how this new technology holds for Human-Machine Collaboration in Africa. Our survey paper highlights to answer some of these questions. To understand the effectiveness of ChatGPT on human-machine collaboration we utilized reflexive thematic analysis to analyze (N= 51) articles between 2019 and 2023 obtained from our literature search. Our findings indicate the prevalence of ChatGPT for human-computer interaction within academic sectors such as education, and research; trends also revealed the relatively high effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving human-machine collaboration.
