Keith and Laura explore the transformative power of artificial intelligence. Both Laura and Keith acknowledge the challenges and fears surrounding AI, including job displacement and privacy concerns. They also highlight the opportunities AI presents for new roles and creative collaboration.
Laura shares her evolution from initial curiosity to actively using AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot for content creation, editing, and workflow automation. She shares how AI helps her save time by summarizing long documents and email chains, brainstorming ideas, and even drafting personalized messages. Laura stresses the importance of ethical use and maintaining human oversight to ensure AI-generated content is accurate and aligned with personal values.
Keith uses AI for practical tasks such as podcast transcription summarization and image generation. His approach focuses on using AI as a “safe playground” for exploring ideas without fear of judgment. Keith encourages listeners to start experimenting with AI tools. He emphasizes the value of prompt engineering—crafting clear and specific instructions to get the best results from AI. His favorite models are Perplexity and Claude.
AI technology is rapidly improving and becoming an essential skill for staying relevant in today’s evolving markets. Whether embracing the game-changing power of AI tools for projects, or accentuating your personal capacity with practical efficiency, now is the time to dive in and play. Rather than replace our human potential with technology, we can reshape how we work, create, and live.
AI is not just a passing trend, but a potential lasting creative partner. Don’t forget to check out “Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI” by Ethan Mollick.
