This is episode 1,114 of the Arete Coach Podcast with Severin Sorensen, which explores AI, Automation, and the Innovation Imperative. It has been 60 days since our first episode [1,1104] on AI and ChatGPT, which was published on 12/12/22.
The world has changed. And the change is accelerating. In this episode, we explore AI, automation, and the innovation imperative. We look at the growth of AI, and review a book titled 'AI and Prediction.' We explore tight labor conditions and the logical imperative that under the absence of available workers, businesses should seek to reduce labor in every SKU, product, and service. AI and Automation are viewed as means to augment and leverage existing talent. In the podcast, we interview 3 individuals from different age cohorts to explore how they use ChatGPT in their personal and work lives. The episode has dozens of hacks, tips, and suggestions for leveraging the listener's ability to use conversational AI.
Special guests on this podcast episode include: Cait Pickens, Hayden Browing, and Ozzie Gontang.
This episode is a follow-up to Arete Coach Podcast Episode 1104, that explores OpenAI's ChatGPT Chat App along with "10 Technologies That Changed The World, and the Next 10 Technologies Likely To Change it Again.
