S2E2: Leveraging AI, future of work, and adapting to new technology
GUEST: Jack Barstad, Senior at University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse
THE QUICK VERSION:
AI is transforming the way we learn, work, and process information.
A few interesting use cases mentioned are analyzing health and fitness tracking data from MyFitnessPal and WHOOP, gene sequencing, brainstorming, research and reading long documents.
We stress the importance of being adaptable to AI and other new technologies in the workplace, because AI won't necessarily take your job, but someone using AI will.
Employers are highly motivated to adopt AI and new technologies as it decreases their expenses (computers are cheaper than humans)
It's beneficial to be constantly interacting with AI and testing new ways to use it in your life.
It's critically important that you pay close attention to AI and how it's being utilized so that you can compete in the current job market.
