Hereās what you need to know about AI today:
Some employees ask if AI is a āsolution in search of a problemā.
Our 5 essential tips for finding use cases in AI.
We share a great explainer video on how AI actually works!
China is falling behind the US in a big way when it comes to AI.
Your company is probably doing AI wrong.
Many executives have pie-in-the-sky expectations that AI will soon deliver the kind of insane productivity gains and cost savings they dreamed about at Wharton.
yo Nvidia, stop setting unrealistic expectations for the rest of us!
But when it comes to employees, some harbor doubts, wondering whether AI is just a āsolution looking for a problem.ā
In other words, CEOs are saying, āWe should be using AI!ā, and employees are like, āUse AI for what? And how?ā
Itās worth mentioning that yes: AI in 2024 is capable of unlocking substantial productivity gains (think 20-40%) across various use casesācustomer support, for instance. Weāve seen it for our business and many others.
But in its current state, AI wonāt replace thousands of employees or 10x your profit overnight.
Rather than jumping on the AI bandwagon cause it's a hot trend, organizations should take a more level-headed approach.
Hereās our two cents (forward this to your boss!):
Start by clearly identifying the business problems / inefficiencies you want to solve.
Isolate small parts that you can solve with easy-to-setup tools like ChatGPT.
Even better, consider whether you even need AI. Sometimes you just need a project tracker, not fancy AI!
Start with small pilot projects to prove value before making big bets.
Provide training and education for employees on how to use AI effectively, starting with our Intro to ChatGPT course!
And how do you know if AI can tackle a particular problem?! Look no further, my young padawansā¦š

Around the Horn.
