What You Can Do to Thrive in an AI-Driven World?
“I think we are on the verge of the most profound industrial revolution in human history.”
— Zack Kass, Futurist Speaker and Former Head of Go To Market for OpenAI
Should you be worried about how artificial intelligence is changing your business? In the first half of the 2020s, AI has taken a leap in capabilities. It can summarize text, write computer code, and have conversations. Businesses are using AI chatbots for customer service and to analyze the resumes of job applicants. So, the question remains: how do you stay relevant in an AI-driven world?
To find out the answer, BigSpeak looked at what the top Artificial Intelligence Keynote Speakers are saying about how to thrive in an AI world. These keynote speakers have studied AI for years, helped build the first virtual voice devices like Siri, or worked with groundbreaking companies like OpenAI.
Here are four things people can do to stay relevant.
Optimize for human qualities.
For former Head of Go To Market for Open AI, Zack Kass, the key to people thriving in the AI future is to optimize for human qualities that AI doesn’t have. Focus on your soft skills of courage, curiosity, empathy, vision, and wisdom, not on your hard skills—which computers can learn to do.
Let it help you be more creative.
Former Pixar storyteller Matthew Luhn sees AI as a tool that will allow you to be more creative. First, it will give you more time to create by doing all the drudgery tasks you don’t like. Second, it will help you generate ideas so you can create more and better stories for your business.
Use it to solve big problems.
When looking at AI, Siri creator Adam Cheyer says that businesses should use it to solve big problems. Yes, there is a risk of job displacement, computer bias, and high energy consumption with the use of AI. On the other hand, AI could be used to solve existential problems facing humanity, like poverty, hunger, and disease.
Have a sense of humor.
AI humorist Janelle Shane says that while AI is powerful, you should also take the results with a grain of salt. AI isn’t human, and the results can sometimes be unpredictable, wrong—or downright absurd. She suggests you check your AI’s work for accuracy and also enjoy finding the humor in the inaccuracies and weirdness it creates.
