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. The very first thing we did was take a survey. The very last thing we did? We took it again. And the results were 🔥:

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

The effort will apply Ai systems to data from agencies including NASA, the National...
‽ "Only one thing is impossible for God: to find any sense in any copyright law on the planet." - Mark Twain Hello Reader, If you've tried to make an AI-generated image with Mickey Mouse or The X-Men, you've hit the copyright guardrails.
