Berufsinfomat is a generative AI-driven tool (relying on ChatGPT) introduced by the Austrian Public Employment Service for career coaching. The system, trained on the Austrian Public Employment service's knowledge database on professions, training, and education is intended to offer users with information on professions, training, and education. The Berufsinfomat received 160,000 prompts in January 2024 and around 20,000 additional monthly inquiries. It received criticism for producing responses that conformed to stereotypes about men and women, bias in responses, and for producing various problematic answers. It has received several revisions in response to these problems.
A growing observatory of examples of how open data from official sources and generative artificial intelligence (AI) are intersecting across domains and geographies.
