The Role of Humans with GenAI

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

✨ Humans are the magic in the last 5%.

Hello Reader,

AI can handle 95% of the grind work - even for an S-1 IPO Prospectus.

According to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, this massive document used to take a six-person team multiple weeks to produce. Now, Generative AI can draft 95% of an S-1 IPO prospectus in minutes.

But here’s the kicker. Solomon told the Financial Times, “The last 5% now matters, because the rest is now a commodity.”

So, how can you be that last 5%?

If GenAI is handling 95% of the work you used to do, what is the 5% that only a human like you can do?

The human touch is the difference between good and great, between functional and extraordinary.

Find that last 5%, and make that your focus. Use AI to handle the other 95%, and you will be prepared for the future of work.

Being better at being human is how you will get ahead, in an AI-powered world. Helping people find the unique work that only humans can do - that's the topic of my next webinar.

🌱 “It’s clear that we are well into the adoption phase of AI, but not everyone is adapting.” - Lou Compagnone Hello Reader, I was in Wellington this week for the #AotearoaAISummit, the annual festival hosted by the AI Forum New Zealand.
