I came across a news article last week that made me ponder the above question. Here, I share my thoughts on how communication and adaptability to change are key to mastering AI.
While it’s true that technology evolves rapidly, my experience has taught me that it’s not always about learning something completely new. Rather, it’s crucial to refine skills we already possess.
Effective Communication with AI:
Effective communication is fundamental when interacting with AI. We need to be clear and precise in our requests to obtain relevant responses.
This challenge highlights a gap in our basic education: we are rarely taught to communicate effectively from a young age. However, the demand for this skill in the professional sphere pushes us to seek tools, courses, and coaching to improve. In the context of AI, knowing how to communicate our needs is more crucial than ever.
This reminds me of the joke/meme shared by Digital Synopsis about graphic designers: “To replace graphic designers with artificial intelligence, clients will need to accurately describe what they want.
We’re safe.”
Adaptability to Change in the AI Era:
Since 2023, we have seen an exponential increase in the use of AI, and I am sure that in 2024 this growth will be even greater. Adapting to this rapid evolution requires a certain orientation towards change.
For example, while we were working on our workshop ‘EfectivIdAd by Método FASE’, Microsoft launched Microsoft Copilot, a revolutionary tool that I had to quickly integrate into our approach since it was not initially considered and would undoubtedly be a game-changer for productivity. It caught me a bit off guard, and I confess that I struggled to overcome certain resistances to having to try and master Microsoft Copilot, after having based my ecosystem of applications on other suites.
In short, mastering Artificial Intelligence is not about being a techy or having to deal with complicated new technologies; it’s about having a minimal understanding to then progressively put it into practice.
What Concerns You About Overcoming Your Resistance to AI?
- I don’t know where to start.
- I don’t have time.
- It’s not for me.
- I have resistance to change.
- It won’t add anything to my work.
