Fear Is Your Friend!

We need to step forward into responsible A.I. adoption to stay relevant and competitive.

This post is created using G.R.H. I. – Generated Real Human Intelligence, not Generated Artificial Intelligence.

According to eWeek, there are currently over thirteen thousand (and rising) private startups of AI services and products in the United States alone.

Although Artificial Intelligence has been around for decades, I believe the catapult began with the introduction of the 2020 pandemic.  Think about it… there were lock-downs, people working from home, video conferencing and many other changes to the workforce.  All of those great minds were contemplating how to make their lives better and more simplified; shorter work days and more significant productivity was the ultimate goal for most.

A.I. didn’t unveil into public view at that time, but by the Fall of 2022 it was introduced to the masses through the introduction of Chat GPT, which launched in November, 2022.  Some embraced it and ran with it.  Some feared it.

Speaking of fear, let me tell you a little story about what I consider tangible fear.

I once knew a man who was in a small plan crash in the Alaskan Bush.  Among many other injuries, he broke his back. The crash occurred in a remote, nearly inhabitable area and he was stranded.  I believe that is genuine terror and fear with the preponderance of death staring straight at you.  He was rescued, obviously, since he was around to tell of his journey.  I will always remember his words of wisdom and him teaching his children and those he knew and cared for …

“FEAR IS YOUR FRIEND”

Fear is your friend and Artificial Intelligence can also be your friend. If you fear it, you will eventually lose.  If you embrace it, it will walk with you into a new, productive future where you can excel and compete. I’m not saying that A.I. is the end-all, be-all to our new economy. There are valid reasons to be skeptical of A.I., and we will address those concerns in the weeks and months to come.

But all of this brings us full circle, back to the correlation between Artificial Intelligence and the 2020 pandemic.  With a new lock-down looming in the near future, as of this writing, A.I. is again going to be an integral player in our daily lives.

We need to step forward into responsible A.I. adoption to stay relevant and competitive. Artificial intelligence plays an essential role in digital content creation worldwide, delivering improved e-training, more effective social and digital marketing, stronger branding, better entertainment, and so much more. Lose your fear and become educated. Work smarter, not harder.

There are many facets to A.I. in our society.  As with any technology, it can be used for positive and negative endeavors.  Our goal is to reveal both insights into how A.I. can enhance or hinder our voyage into this new technological revolution.
