Professionals who take the time to educate themselves on AI now will soon outpace those who don't. Not because they have more intelligence, but because they have more adaptability. Yesterday I gave a presentation to the Christchurch AI Meetup, and shared some of the uniquely human characteristics that will help us thrive, in an AI-powered future:
The more we can bring these human qualities into our work, and use them in our partnership with GenAI, the more likely we will thrive in the next evolution of our world. That's why I created the AI-Powered Professionals Program. This 4-week webinar series will help you to improve you skills as an operator of GenAI, through interactive exercises, step-by-step tutorials, and copy/paste prompting techniques. 💡 What Changes in Just 4 Weeks?Last month, I ran the first cohort of the AI-Powered Professionals Program.

If you'd like to level up your AI skills, it would be great to see you in the program next week! We meet 4 consecutive weeks on Zoom. Replays, slides, and a Google Doc workbook are available if you can't make it to the live sessions. 📰 New AI News This Week

With infinite answers now available, asking the right question becomes priceless. Hello Reader, Most people think prompt engineering is about getting better at telling AI what to do. But the real power move is asking AI what it needs from you. With infinite information on tap, AI doesn’t struggle with answers. It struggles with ambiguity. Precision gives it power. The sharper your prompt, the smarter your AI responds. To get the smartest prompts, ask AI to generate the prompt for you. Then...
