The real issue with ChatGPT in surveys

ChatGPT is widely discussed for its versatility but also poses risks. For instance, it generates inaccurate information. Nonetheless, it excels at interpreting ambiguous survey responses.

For example, it can decode varied answers to “Do you like potatoes?” into clear “yes” “no” or “something else” options. This capability can enhance survey accuracy.

However, beyond the concerns about cost and accuracy, the elephant in the room remains undisclosed: privacy. There’s no real way for anyone to know what happens to the data you feed into these AI chatbots. It is still far from clear.

 

How to complete 12,000 surveys in just 5 days, using IVR.

Unilever’s Royco brand leveraged engageSPARK’s SMS & IVR technology to combat child malnutrition in rural Indonesia. With 23 million children affected, Unilever provided 4,000 rural mothers with nutritious, affordable recipes through cooking classes.

To ensure these new habits stuck, the Nutrition Cooking Challenge was launched. Over 21 days, daily SMS reminders and IVR calls encouraged mothers to use the recipe books. Incentives like airtime top-ups boosted engagement.

The results were outstanding:

– 47% increase in response rates with retry calls.
– IVR was 8x cheaper than SMS.
– 57% of mothers cooked from the recipe book at least 4 days a week.
– This initiative demonstrated the power of combining technology with community engagement to drive lasting change. We’re excited to expand this impactful program globally.
