Description

The emergence of ChatGPT has brought Generative-AI to the centre-stage given their capability to leverage natural language processing techniques.  

As ChatGPT can provide quick access to cohesive information, its role in the public sector offices in cities can be ideal as wait times for information exchange and provision to inhabitants can be reduced significantly. Within cities, Generative AI including ChatGPT could find application in the health sector by responding to clinical related queries, which can serve as an indispensable tool in case of research-based queries. However, its application in medical emergencies, still remains to be further tested.
