ABSTRACT

Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) represent one of the most transformative technological advancements of the 21st century. These powerful language models offer rapid problem-solving capabilities, reducing the time and effort traditionally required to perform various computational and troubleshooting tasks. However, their increasing integration into workflows raises critical questions about their impact on the information technology (IT) profession. Specifically, this paper explores whether GPTs will significantly alter the roles and skill requirements of IT professionals. A survey of 40 participants was conducted to assess perceptions of GPT adoption and its implications for the future of IT-related careers. The findings suggest that while many acknowledge the transformative potential of GPTs, a substantial number of individuals have yet to utilize these tools to their full capacity. The study concludes that GPTs are poised to reshape societal expectations of IT work, necessitating ongoing adaptation and reskilling within the field.
