Meanwhile, limits on applicable copyright rules make it simpler to train AI tools. Nevertheless, accuracy issues with AI tools, Redburn said, could boost the use case for Pearson. Copyright issues are another major obstacle for music companies. Some potential copyright violations include replicating an artist's likeness or voice, and that could weaken the catalog value for many music companies, analysts said. Similarly, Deutsche Bank analyst Matthew Niknam highlighted in a recent note AI presents more opportunities than risks and offers "underappreciated upside tailwinds" for Five9.

May 2 (Reuters) - What's the cost of students using ChatGPT for homework? For U.S. education services provider Chegg Inc (CHGG.N), it could be nearly $1 billion in market valuation. Chegg forecast current-quarter revenue below estimates and signaled that the usage of viral chatbot ChatGPT was pressuring customer growth, sending its shares 44% lower in premarket trading on Tuesday.

First-quarter earnings beat analyst estimates, but that wasn't enough to stem fears that ChatGPT is a serious threat to Chegg. The education company sells subscription memberships to an online portal that helps students study for tests and complete homework.

CHGG 1D mountain Chegg shares plummet on AI risks While Chegg may be the first shoe to drop, it's certainly not the last company set to showcase some of the risks posed by AI. Elsewhere, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster sees potential risks ahead to some consulting companies known to outsource work for other businesses. Companies operating off of seat-based models, such as human resources companies, may face headwinds from declining headcount, but could benefit long term from optimizing AI, he added. To be sure, even the largest companies dominating the space and poised to prosper from AI face risks ahead.

Chegg' s 48% stock price plunge on Tuesday, driven by comments in the company's earnings report about the risks of artificial intelligence, was "extraordinarily overblown," CEO Dan Rosensweig told CNBC Tuesday. On Monday's earnings call, Rosensweig said ChatGPT, the suddenly popular chatbot from startup OpenAI, was "having an impact on our new customer growth rate." "I think this is extraordinarily overblown, and I don't normally say that, I don't really talk about the stock price much," Rosensweig said. Rosensweig noted that ChatGPT struggles with delivering accurate answers, a phenomenon known as hallucination, and a problem in the academic world. "ChatGPT is often wrong, and it's not going to be right anytime soon."

The release is poised to widen what pupils do with AI just as educators are grappling with its consequences. Rosensweig said Chegg focuses on math and the sciences, not the essay drafting that has challenged schools. Rosensweig said Chegg has structured and checked its answers to ensure accuracy. Asked if AI will prompt Chegg to shrink its pool of 150,000 experts contributing to its content, he said the company already balances humans with technology. Analysts in recent months have questioned whether Chegg can grow its base of 8 million subscribers as students embrace the largely free ChatGPT software, created by the startup OpenAI.

NEW YORK, April 17 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Educational software company Chegg (CHGG.N) is trying to stay one step ahead of artificial intelligence. With its stock down 40% since ChatGPT’s November release, Chegg has a new plan to act as an intermediary between students and AI. To that end, Chegg on Monday announced a partnership with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to build a virtual tutor, CheggMate. With awareness of AI proliferating, schools will face pressure to adapt; Chegg could fashion itself as a safer way to do so. Other companies with domain-specific databases may follow suit, rebranding themselves as middlemen to avoid being made obsolete by AI.

Its stock slumped nearly one-fifth on Tuesday, after it forecast shrinking revenue in 2023.

Rosensweig argues that Chegg can use the technology to its own advantage, matching students with the right content and constructing personalized study plans. By contrast, other companies that have started putting AI to work, like online publisher BuzzFeed (BZFD.O), have seen their stock soar.
