your host TV park.

24
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.560
Good morning listeners. Today's Tuesday, and we all just got

25
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.159
out of Thanksgiving. I don't know about y'all. That food

26
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.319
is still lingering in my stomach. And the beauty of

27
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:31.319
this is that it reminds us that there's so much

28
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.439
more to be grateful for. It's wonderful to get together

29
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.359
with families, have those wonderful moments that we treasure throughout

30
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.560
the rest of our lives. So one of the things

31
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.000
that I want to talk to you about is that

32
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.959
taking a stock of what we have and being grateful

33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.079
for it, rather than being in the future land at

34
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.280
all times. Oh I want this, I want this, I

35
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.480
want this, and not saying that it's not important to

36
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.599
have those big, hairy, audacious goals. Yes, go for it,

37
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.039
I'm all for it. I'm here to support you because

38
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.360
who doesn't want to have good things in their lives?

39
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.080
And at the same token, it's so important that we

40
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:28.479
are grateful for what we have. So I'm very, very

41
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:33.240
grateful that I have you in my life, because without you,

42
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.039
my fellow listeners, my fellow viewers, this show would not

43
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.759
be there. I'm doing this show for you, so really

44
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.360
grateful for you, and I want to thank each and

45
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.439

54
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.400
that we have today. So look forward to getting in

55
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.719

56
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:41.199

57
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.879
or increasing a capacity, whatever your goals are along with

58
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.439
helping others. So today I do want to share with

59
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.879
you our guest who's going to be with us has

60
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:57.159
fallen sick and she cannot make it, and we wish

61
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.639
that you know she recovers very quickly and we will

62
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.000
have her on her show next time. So one of

63
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.439
the things to think about is like Okay, so I

64
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.800
got this message. I usually don't check my emails in

65
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.599
the morning. I've got a routine, do my meditation, do

66
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.600
my gratitude journal, and find that time for myself because

67
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.399
it's important. So now I read this message somewhere around

68
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.000
nine point thirty, and of course this is a live show,

69
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.680
so in twenty five minutes we're going to go on

70
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.959
the air. I send her a nice message, like, you know,

71
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.759
how she feels better, and then I'm thinking, okay, what

72
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.079
are we going to talk about? So I thought, why

73
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.439
not talk about emotions and AI? Because as soon as

74
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.600
I've read that email? What happened that quick? You know,

75
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.839
are amigdella? It went into it just kind of like

76
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.319
it goes into that overdrive mode in thinking, m M,

77
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:04.920
my guest is not coming. What's going to be the

78
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.519
other option? So I calmed it down, took a step back,

79
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.720
and thought, why not this gives me an opportunity to

80
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.680
talk to you directly, and why not talk about artificial

81
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:24.959
intelligence because it is here to change your lives. I

82
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.120
don't know for those of you, some of you may

83
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.600
not even remember the time when the internet, when I

84
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.199
stepped in really really big time, and when then the

85
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.120
emails came in. So if any of you remember, it

86
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.040
was during the time of AOL and you would sit

87
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.079
in front of those computers and I used to have

88
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.920
this gigantic, yes, gigantic monitor, a big computer on that

89
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.680
like a desktop, and but the email would come, it

90
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:05.759
would go, and there would be some time before it

91
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.360
would take you in the email. Then there was also

92
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.959
a phase of GPS. Oh yeah, probably I'll don't remember,

93
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.319
but I could read maps. Yeah, even though I'm really

94
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.680
bad at directions, I could read maps and figure out

95
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.800
my way. And then some of those detaurs we would

96
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:33.480
have to take and sometimes you would stop, maybe at

97
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.120
a local store, especially when we would go out on

98
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.720
family vacations, family trips. Those used to be fun days.

99
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:48.360
And when the GPS came, there was that trepedition skepticism,

100
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.160
Oh this is here to change my life. Google search

101
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.680
the old ways so much better. And this has happened

102
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.639
with every invention. Now is every invention just there for

103
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.480
the good of the humanity? What I say is that

104
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:16.560
invention or innovation or discovery, whatever it is, it is

105
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.199
only as good as what we make of it. The

106
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.360
human hand is never going to leave the interactions the

107
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.800
human hand is always going to be at the home.

108
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.519
Now the key is and what kind of captain you're

109
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.560
going to be of that ship whether we like it

110
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.720
or not. Yeah, I is here to stay. And initially

111
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.600
when it came out, I've been through all the stages

112
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.600
that I'm going to talk about today that everybody, most

113
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.920
of the people go through. Now I'm not saying everybody,

114
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.399
but most of the people go through. Whenever you face

115
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:06.759
life changing situation or and it's not just the invention

116
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.800
or innovation or something new that's coming into our lives.

117
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.680
It can be a loss. It can be a job loss,

118
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.279
it can be a loss of a loved one. We

119
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.920
go through multiple stages, and similarly, for AI there are

120
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:27.000
six stages. So it was around like probably October November

121
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:32.919
of twenty twenty two. I was sitting and having a

122
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.639
conversation with one of my fellow colleagues and they said, oh,

123
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.960
have you heard about this exciting thing? And I'm like,

124
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.639
what exciting thing? They're like, oh, it's all over the news.

125
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.960
And as we were talking, like, oh yeah, artificial intelligence,

126
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:53.720
and it was a completely unknown commodity. And here I was.

127
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.639
I've been writing before Chad Gpt I've had tons of

128
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.559
books published before chadj and co Pilot and Gemini and

129
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:09.200
Tropic and Facebook Slama and all these large language learning models.

130
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.240
We're not going to go into the technological details today.

131
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.840
And I was like, oh, this is so good at

132
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.559
rites And I faced that fear and denial and like,

133
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.559
there are so many emotions kind of running through me.

134
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.000
I'm like, so, what are we going to lose? Our capabilities?

135
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.399
Are we going to lose? And this is the thing.

136
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.960
You lose some, you gain some, and it's up to

137
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:40.480
you on how do you keep your skill sets, your

138
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:49.919
mindset and your psyche and yourself either stronger than before

139
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.200
or weaker than before, or somewhere in the middle. I

140
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.039
was upset. I went through a lot of emotions, and

141
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.519
then one of the things I've learned in my life

142
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.440
journey is that sometimes I will have initial resistance to things,

143
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.919
and then over the course of years, I keep on

144
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.159
training myself. I keep on working on myself, because the

145
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.000
way I see life is life is working on oneself

146
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.080
the last day of your life, because there's so much

147
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.159
more to learn. The more I learn, the more I

148
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.039
realize that less I know I don't know about ya,

149
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.320
but if we were to take a whole circle, let's say,

150
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.559
circle of what we know personally, I would say that

151
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.559
there's a very tiny sliver or a pie very tiny

152
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.879
section of that circle where I could say these are

153
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.159
the things that I know. Then there is another piece

154
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.240
of pie where I could say these are the things

155
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.440
I know I don't know, and the rest is I

156
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.440
don't know what I don't know. I know. This is

157
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.240
complicated what I'm talking about. We just visualize that circle,

158
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.080
so then we don't know what we don't know to

159
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:19.320
so many things. How about being open to possibilities and

160
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:25.799
how about just seeing where the AI can take us.

161
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.240
So going back to my journey, I said, all right,

162
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:37.120
I'm going to check it out and see what's going

163
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.200
to happen. So going back to my writing and writing

164
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:47.559
my books, it's like, hmm, so if A is going

165
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.039
to write, how are we going to know who's writing

166
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.200
who's not. And that's a story for a nowaday, yes,

167
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.879
a conversation for another day. You can't tell what's being

168
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.399
written by AI and what's written by the human beings,

169
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.399
and maybe in the near future the lines will blur.

170
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.720
But at the core of it, guess what I still

171
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.440
write a lot of my things because I'll tell you,

172
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:21.039
since I started using the GPS and smartphones, I did resist.

173
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.080
I did resist to smartphones. You know, a lot of

174
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.320
years went by I did not have it. I'm like,

175
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.799
I'm the last one who's going to have it, and

176
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:35.320
then I resisted it. I was in denial. I was

177
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:40.360
stuck in the past. Like the old ways. The traditional

178
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:45.759
methods are the way to go. And especially if you're

179
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.559
in a company or whether let's say, if you're a

180
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:55.440
manager or if you're a CEO. Here's the thing. Even you, yes,

181
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.240
whether you're a professional, whether you're an entrepreneur, going to clink.

182
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.679
Not all of you, but we all tend to get nostalgic.

183
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:15.039
We tend to cling to the familiar practices, the traditional methods,

184
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.480
and we just say, maybe it's a fad, it'll pass.

185
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.519
In the state of denial like I had with the

186
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.639
cell phones, I'm like, oh, it's going to go away.

187
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.879
And I had my flip phone, where what I would

188
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.440
do is I would punch, like you know when you

189
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.919
had to text someone because everybody else was using smartphones

190
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.559
and people would text me, and I was just kind

191
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:44.679
of going at one little dose. Those buttons and like

192
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:49.159
pressing those to get my text. I resisted it, I

193
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.799
denied it. But what did it do? It was taking

194
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.120
me longer time to send people messages, whether it was

195
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.480
at work or in family. What I do? It damaged

196
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.159
a lot of my progress because I refuse to adapt

197
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:11.279
and grow with the times. And it can even lead

198
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.080
to missed opportunities for you. So I did that. I

199
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.399
know that from experience, And that's just one story. I

200
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.519
could go on and around with different stories where I've

201
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.840
resisted things, and then when I look at it during

202
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.720
the hindsight, of course, hindsight is twenty twenty and be like, oh,

203
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.000
I wish I had learned it earlier? Why not? Oh

204
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.440
what was I thinking? So easy to say that, right?

205
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:41.480
What was I thinking? So when this time around AI came?

206
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.679
The key is not about keep on making the same

207
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.000
mistakes over and over again in life, but it's about

208
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.960
learning from those mistakes and not repeating it. So what

209
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:57.200
did I do? Yep, I'm going to get on the

210
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.639
horse right now, whether I know how to write it

211
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.679
or not, but and I'm going to go rite that wave.

212
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:11.320
You know, that's that's my imagination, riding a horse on

213
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.120
that wave of the ocean. That's how I it is. Yes,

214
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.440
it's hard to comprehend how to digest. Now does that

215
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.879
mean like just because you're open, you don't go through

216
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.600
the other emotions you will. So I'm just going to

217
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.679
continue using my journey. It's okay. I was not in

218
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.879
the now now. What happened was when I bought the

219
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.679
cell phone. I was upset, like I'm like, oh, why

220
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.440
do you have to learn all of these things, like

221
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.720
all these apps? Don't you have enough with social media?

222
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.759
Don't we have with all of this? Because there's a

223
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.519
lot of fear and uncertainty. It's like there's so much

224
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:58.799
technology that people are having fatigue. Yes, there's something called adfatigue.

225
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:04.039
There's something called zoomfitty. So similarly, Ayah is no different.

226
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:11.480
It's going to build a frustration because it's not the reality.

227
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.399
Like in twenty twenty two, there was fear that what

228
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.679
will happen to my job? To date's a reality? Think

229
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.840
about it. What I'm going to tell you is that

230
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.559
if you are being an Ostrich with your head buried

231
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.639
in the sand, you'll be a turkey. Now what does

232
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.840
ostrich you have to do with the turkey? I'm going

233
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.399
to tell you that you'll be a turkey in the

234
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.720
sense is that there's turkey has a great time, but

235
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.559
like once Thanksgiving dinner is over, it's all and down.

236
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.799
It's gone. Well, it has served its purpose, it has

237
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:54.879
brought the family and all that together. But then you're

238
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.399
out of running. So don't be a turkey. The key

239
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:07.599
is we are seeing and I could give you stats

240
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.759
that have shown that companies have laid off people because

241
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.480
AI is replacing the job. So don't be a turkey.

242
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.440
Don't be a turkey. You become the smart.

243
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:28.720
One where you're not the turkey, but you're the one

244
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.319
who can I have a form of turkeys who can

245
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.799
learn AI and future proof their careers.

246
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.519
So the second step is frustration. As we talked about that,

247
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:49.200
oh gosh, it is going to take away my security,

248
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.000
my satisfaction. You know, all the work that has been

249
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.759
put in, all the workflows we have had, all the

250
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:03.400
processes and everything. And I'll tell you, being an author,

251
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.799
I did feel that AI is going to take over

252
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:15.480
my creative side. It doesn't. I did experience that. Now

253
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.640
do I use it for all of my stuff? I don't,

254
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.839
But I can give you an example. So many times

255
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:28.079
I will get a ton of yes, let's say a

256
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:33.240
thirty page document or a report from my clients where

257
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.000
they want to know like, okay, you know this is

258
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:41.960
my report. How could I go ahead and summarize it,

259
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.960
make it more concise and all that. Then let's say

260
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.759
so many times what happens is you are on a call,

261
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:54.680
you are on a meeting, and you want the whole

262
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.720
notes to be summarized rather than watching the video completely

263
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.720
and taking down notes. And I could go on and

264
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.880
on and on. There are like hundreds of use cases.

265
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.160
Very wish I wish I have an executive assistant. I

266
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.519
wish I had a team. I could do so much

267
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:19.400
more so during this frustration period. It's not just going

268
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.079
to go away at the snap off fingers, because emotions

269
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.759
are not like the tap that you open up a tap,

270
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.680
water comes out, you close the tab, what it goes away.

271
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.839
The key is that while you're recognizing your emotions, just

272
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:42.079
like I did, I recognized that I was fearful that

273
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.480
my writing powers would go away. No they're not. It's

274
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.960
up to me how I use AI. I'm at the home.

275
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.359
I'm the one who's going to make the decisions. I

276
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:59.279
god to hold myself accountable. So do I still write?

277
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:05.519
I do so. Just recently, I wrote a poem from

278
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.079
my heart to say thank you to everyone and post

279
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.319
it on my social media. But do I use AI?

280
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.559
Oh yeah, I use AI as my executive assistant. I

281
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.839
use AI as my team And why not? It frees

282
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.880
up time. My productivity has gone hundred x. I'm working

283
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.480
with my clients whose productivity has gone hundred x with

284
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.680
using AI. And does that mean all these emotions are

285
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.160
going to go with No, let's go to the third stage.

286
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:45.480
The third stage is ah, there could be a chocking

287
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.880
sense of despair and hopelessness. Whether it's an individual or

288
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.640
whether it's within your company or whether you're an entrepreneur.

289
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.039
A is going to crush me. There's no point of

290
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:06.319
my learning. Yes, you usually people go through these emotions,

291
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.880
and if you're running a company or if you're a manager,

292
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.960
even if you're a professional, doesn't matter wherever you're at,

293
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:20.119
you may experience it and it may like, Okay, I'm

294
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:24.559
going to be so inadequate. What is my use? It's

295
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.079
like it's going to be causing anxiety and uncertainty in

296
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:36.720
your careers. So, especially in industries where the automation is standard.

297
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.599
Workers are going to feel, oh gosh, like, you know,

298
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.839
what is my work? AA is doing the work am

299
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.799
going to be. AA is going to be more efficient

300
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.240
and more productive than I am. And that's the truth.

301
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:58.319
It is going to be. But here's the thing. You

302
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.519
are the one who can make decisions. You are the

303
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.480
one who can do the critical thinking. You are the

304
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.200
one who can connect with other human beings. And yes,

305
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.160
there are newer models of AI that do the reasonable thinking.

306
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.279
But here's what I'll tell you. The key is to

307
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.519
push it, to test it to the jacket edge of

308
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.599
the frontiers, to see where what it can do? Does

309
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.640
it do? Mistake it does? I have fascinating conversations with

310
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.759
AI where I've given it to evaluate something and give

311
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.960
me like key poets, where I don't want to spend

312
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.000
the time to do it. Now, does that mean I

313
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.599
don't double check its work? I do double check its

314
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:46.519
work and I find that it misses out. But that's fine.

315
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:50.319
Why is it fine? Because what could have taken me

316
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.440
four hours now I only have to spend one hour.

317
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.759
Does it free of my time to do more creative work? Yes?

318
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.559
And as a matter of fact, I'm working on writing

319
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.559
my book on AI. I sit there and I think

320
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.000
it gives me time to connect with you, It gives

321
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.240
me time to understand other people more. It gives me

322
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.640
time to work on myself, work on my personal growth,

323
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.960
work on building that relationships. So maybe allow me to

324
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.200
do other things that I wouldn't have thought of doing it.

325
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.920
So the key is that when you are in the

326
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:29.440
grip of that fear, it is critical to address it.

327
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.720
It is critical to know that you will always be

328
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:37.480
in charge no matter how strong that AI gets. All right,

329
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.920
So once you have handled that, the fear is still there,

330
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.599
but you are open to trying it. The next stage

331
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:51.720
comes of experimentation. Let me think, maybe I can use

332
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.720
AI to my advantage. And then what happens is that

333
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.519
hopelessness and despair is gone, and now curiosity is it.

334
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.920
They start checking out AI tools to improve the work.

335
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.480
Now the key is not just be dependent on AI tools.

336
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:13.319
The key is learning how does AI work? How does

337
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:19.039
it reason? Knowing it in and out, not just using

338
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.680
the tools. And yes, that's going to be a long haul,

339
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:27.039
that initial stage of learning, that's an uphill battle, but

340
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.960
guess what, that's how you get ahead of AI. You

341
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.039
build those metacognitive skills, you build those critical thinking skills

342
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.240
where you know where again you're the leader, where you're

343
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.519
developing that emotional intelligence. So think about it. I'm going

344
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.759
to share with you one of the stories of my clients.

345
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.200
So a senior VP who came to me and said,

346
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.720
divier if all of my employees are going to do it,

347
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.759
if I am just depending on the AI. It levels

348
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.599
the playing field. What edge do I have? What advantage

349
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:11.240
do I have? And I said, it's awesome about this

350
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.839
democratization that AI brings. It does level the playing field.

351
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:22.319
And yet the experience, the values you bring to the table,

352
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.640
what you stand for, you're carrying your heart, that's what's

353
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:31.079
going to differentiate the humanity will differentiate people from each other.

354
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.400
How much do you really care for them? And those

355
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.680
skill set of emotional intelligence, of critical thinking, leadership development,

356
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.240
they're not going to go away. So take that fear

357
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:50.720
out and he was open to it. And as we

358
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.680
work through it. So there are several stages and sometimes

359
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.839
it can take five to six months to really learn AI.

360
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:02.400
And as I said earlier, do you learn anything completely? No,

361
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.319
But it is the mastery that you're building. You're building

362
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:11.039
your cognitive skills as you're training yourself through it, deepening

363
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.240
your level. So I always say that you can go

364
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:19.119
a mile wide and an inch deep, or you can

365
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.119
go an inch wide and a mile deep. So it's

366
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.720
about going mile deep into it. And as you are

367
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.960
experimenting with it, you're taking that active role and defining

368
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.480
what areas of your job could be improved. You are

369
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:41.160
thinking strategically, you are gaining confidence not only that, you

370
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:46.680
are developing an innovative mindset. So as we worked through it,

371
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.039
he went through the process and made the decision, Yep,

372
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.359
I'm going to harness the power of AI not only

373
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.039
for my success, and he really cared about his team,

374
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:05.279
but so for my team. And then what started happening

375
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:12.960
was they started implementing AI into the workflows and started

376
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:20.839
from implementation to integration. They slowly started implementing it and

377
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:24.960
started seeing like, oh, you know this grunt work, this

378
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.960
grind that I got to do. Yeah, I can do it.

379
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:36.599
Whether it is looking at routine processes improving customer service operations,

380
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.319
or data analysis for decision making, or I could go

381
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.519
on and on the different things that could happen. I

382
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:51.839
think asks and making informed strategic decisions, but again double

383
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.480
checking behind it. I always say double check on it.

384
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:01.200
So going back to my senior, people call him John.

385
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:10.599
Their job satisfaction level and effectiveness has increased one hundred x. Yes,

386
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:16.000
and the delay off people. Now you know why because

387
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.680
now that team has become the role model for the

388
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:24.559
rest of the company. And here's the thing, especially if

389
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:32.079
you're a CEO or a leader. Two years back, KPMG,

390
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.039
it's an institution that does surveys sure that people were thinking,

391
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.240
oh yeah, we'll think about the AI. Now seventy percent

392
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.759
of companies not only want people who are trained in AI,

393
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:51.319
but also they have budget set aside for AI. So

394
00:28:51.440 --> 00:29:00.319
here's the thing. It's here to stay. And if you

395
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:10.119
push it aside, you may be able to survive, You

396
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.640
may be able to thrive for maybe a few years,

397
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:16.759
maybe find some areas. And of course there are going

398
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:21.200
to be certain areas where YEAH is not going to

399
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.559
step in. But depending on which area you are in,

400
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.640
depending on where you are at, AI is going to

401
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:37.759
make in roads. So think about it. Think about as

402
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.960
the emotion that we are talking about, and as we

403
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:44.000
talked about, like you know, once you've made the decision,

404
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.079
do you want to integrate AI as part of your life,

405
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.359
as part of your team, and it's okay. Wherever you

406
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:56.599
are at allow room for those emotions to process. And

407
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:02.240
always remember emotions are not a wall doorway. The only

408
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:08.400
way out is through. Fear can hold you back, fear

409
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:13.799
can keep you in its grips. It's terrifying to enter

410
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:21.079
that doorway. But remember here's where the transformation happens. And

411
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.119
remember it's not just a tool, it's the strategy. It's

412
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:30.119
the skill sets that you've got to learn. Just don't

413
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.519
go pick a tool and say yep, I'm good at AI. No,

414
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:38.960
get to know it. And here's what I'll say that

415
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.440
you know. Usually I'm a fan of Spider Man. I

416
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:50.440
like superheroes, so a lot of Spider Man books, excuse me,

417
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:54.960
and movies. I'm always talking about when the great power

418
00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.759
comes great responsibility. So remember, as the integration will deepen,

419
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:10.400
so will the importance and significance of ethical consideration, accountability

420
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:16.359
and transparency. I'd say, never, never let that go whatever

421
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:20.799
you're doing. So let's say I'll share another example of

422
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.799
one of my clients. What they had done was they

423
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:33.440
had used AI for reviewing some of the data that

424
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.839
came from different people, so the data can be used like,

425
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:44.599
for example, resume reviews. For example, it could be who

426
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:46.640
the loan can be given to, so that are different

427
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:52.519
instances and not specifically stating anything. And now think about it.

428
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:58.480
AI is as good as what you put into it,

429
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:03.960
and that's where again the learning and thinking comes in.

430
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.240
So they were training it on the existing data. Now

431
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.680
will it have a bias? Yeah, yes, it will have

432
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.160
a bias. So it's again what you're putting into it.

433
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.359
It's important to look through it. It's important to see

434
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:21.240
how you're training it. And that's where the ethical consideration

435
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.279
come in. Can you put in godrails, Yes you can.

436
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.839
You can put in godrails so that those biases don't

437
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.720
show up. You can put in godrails so that it

438
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:39.240
works with you, it's aligned with your values. And especially

439
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:41.240
if you have a company or if you're providing a

440
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.720
service as an entrepreneur, can you be transparent? Sure you can.

441
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.759
Can you hold yourself and your team accountable? Yes you can.

442
00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:53.519
So that's where the human touch remains essential in decision

443
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.640
making process because that's how you can ensure that AI

444
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:05.920
stays within the boundaries of our human morals. Within our

445
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:11.519
human standards, and yes, the journey is going to be shaky,

446
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:15.319
but the rewards are going to be big. And here's

447
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.200
what I can tell you. If you're thinking, whether you're

448
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:27.640
just getting starting out, whether you are just even thinking

449
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.480
about AI, or whether you've started learning AI and want

450
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.880
to learn more, or wherever you are at in your

451
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:38.000
journey of AI, here's what I can share with you.

452
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.319
We have created courses, we have created training, and I'm

453
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:48.279
part of another team where they have developers working through

454
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:54.680
at all times together. Even if you're anybody curious or

455
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:56.880
whether if you are a leader of a company and

456
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.400
thinking like, okay, I want to bring this into my ownation.

457
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:03.440
I want to start a pilot program because I want

458
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:06.400
to talk about that. Like you know, for a small company,

459
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:09.920
you can start with three or four people, run a

460
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.559
pilot program and see how it flows. What are the results.

461
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:22.239
As a matter of fact, recently one of my partners

462
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:29.079
said that they saw a year's worth of return on investment. Yes,

463
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.920
a year's worth of return on investment within a week.

464
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:39.400
So if you're even a bitty curious reach out to us.

465
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.519
You can reach out to me on LinkedIn. It is

466
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.039
my first and last name Divia Parek, or you can

467
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:54.920
contact me via email contact at Diviaparic dot com and

468
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.639
I'll be happy, Yes, I'll be happy to sit down

469
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:04.880
with you you and we can assess where your ad

470
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:09.239
and what's good for you. You don't need the whole enchilada.

471
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.559
It's not a buffet where you've got to eat every

472
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:17.039
single thing. The goal is, the key is remember that

473
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.000
where your at, where you want to be, and what's

474
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:26.760
right for you. It's all about customization and taking tiny

475
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:32.400
ativity steps. And remember in a microwave culture that is

476
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.960
filled with TikTok, Instagram and quick fix ads. Right, everything says,

477
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.559
oh yeah, you can learn things in a minute, over

478
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.039
a week, or over a month, but the real learning

479
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:52.119
takes time. So if you're looking to get ahead of people,

480
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:54.960
and I'm not saying you're getting ahead of other people

481
00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:02.639
or anything like that, but here's the harsh truth. People

482
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:06.960
who will build their metacognitive skills, people who will develop

483
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.199
