Listen "Accept AI as a partner"
Episode Synopsis
There is a very real risk associated with turning your back on new technologies. New technologies change things, and those who don't change with them will be left behind. In what I see coming, being left behind will be very unpleasant.
I've spent decades solving technology problems for businesses of all sizes. From corporate events that needed seamless WiFi coverage to personal consults with high-profile clients on the brink of a data disaster, I've lived every permutation of tech gone right and tech gone wrong. Throughout all these years, the biggest lesson I've learned is this: the future doesn't belong to technology alone; it belongs to those who know how to wield technology to elevate what it means to be human.
We find ourselves in an era where AI isn't just a distant sci-fi concept; it's right here, woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. It books our flights, drafts our emails, manages our schedules, and is even now helping write this blog post. The difference between those who struggle to keep up and those who soar isn't access to technology—it's the ability to create a partnership with it.
Consider a brush and a painter. The brush is useless without a steady hand and an inspired mind. Similarly, the most advanced AI in the world is useless without human context, empathy, and creativity. Technology—like the brush—is just a tool. It's what we do with that tool that transforms the world.
