Curiosity, Empathy, Initiative: The Keys to Thriving in the Era of AI

In March I attended SXSW and for 8 days immersed myself in every available AI related keynote or panel discussion.

What did I learn?

1.No one can say for certain how the future will unfold as we embrace these AI tools and powered robotic technologies

2. Whether we like it or not AI is coming to our jobs and those using it - coming for our jobs.

3. Resisting it is futile but Embracing it while being cognizant of this full range or risks and ethical issues is essential

4. As futurist Amy Webb stated ‘we are in a tech Super cycle that will change every aspect of life and work’ and will require governments to prepare for the transformation ahead and for business to reimagine their value networks

5. What is certain is that we must focus on our humanity and celebrate what makes us uniquely human - our curiosity, and ability to build meaningful relationships, and find a sense of purpose that transcends algorithms and code.

Building on my interview with ChatGPT and as I have reflected I recalled an article I wrote for The Huffington Post called the Future of Getting Lost.

So in the spirit of embracing AI I have explored the potential and possibilities of using new AI avatar and chat tools like Hey Gen and Delphi and recorded my thoughts using HeyGEN delivered via my first AI Avatar. Aside from the weird accent it’s pretty impressive.

Now over to Mark Bot.
