Embracing Artificial Intelligence: A Roadmap to Success
The Future is Now
KUALA LUMPUR: New technology will only replace employees who refuse to upskill themselves, an expert in human transformation said in highlighting the need for people to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) in their daily lives.
The Importance of Constant Learning
Justin Cohen, an author and AI conference speaker, believes that it is crucial to become continual learners who constantly develop new skills needed to remain competitive in the workforce. According to him, history has proven those who said technology would eventually leave most people without a job and source of income to be "profoundly wrong." As mechanization and automation have taken over some jobs, humans have gone on to hold better jobs that are often less arduous. Our grandparents toiled in the fields, so we get to sit here and think and connect.
Embracing AI: A 3-Step Approach
Cohen proposed three steps for people to augment their experience with AI, starting with "activation," which involves using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. The next step is to integrate these tools into one’s life, after which it is crucial to know how to enter the correct prompts. AI, he said, can be used for both good and bad, and there is a need to prompt AI correctly, with the "quality of the answers depending on the quality of the questions."
Quality and Responsibility
Cohen emphasized the importance of clarifying and questioning AI, adding that it is up to the individual to discern and decide. Ultimately, people have the final say in determining the output of information, which should be guided by their experiences, emotions, and motivations.
Conclusion
As we navigate the changing landscape of technology, it is crucial that we recognize the potential benefits of AI and take steps to harness its power. By embracing AI and committing to lifelong learning, we can thrive in this new era of technological advancements.
