AI:Partnership with IT (Part 6)

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,800
I have friends across all
industries and at some level,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,880
every organization is embracing
AI.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,120
And if you can partner with your
IT department, if you can

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,360
partner with, you know whomever
in your organization is leading

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,800
the way, right?
Because here's what we do know.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Not all departments are going to
be moving at the same pace,

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,160
right?
So you may have to partner with

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,920
a department that's, you know,
moving at a little faster pace

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,520
and then, you know, you learn
how to socialize how your your

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,800
team can best use it right.
Yeah, that's, yeah, that's

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,400
really good.
That's really good.

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200
All right, so, so let's move on
to the to the next topic,

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,160
measuring the ROI of GNAI in
your career, right?

14
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,360
So tracking time save you don't
routine task and using that as a

15
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,760
metric for productivity gains.
I mean, I, I, I, I, I get

16
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240
excited when we talk about this
because this, this goes back to

17
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,320
something that's near and dear
to me and Terry's heart metrics.

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
You know what?
Hey, I told someone the other

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520
day.
I said, look, I got a friend and

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,040
we say this all the time.
If you're cat, if you're not

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,000
measuring it, you can't manage
it.

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Impossible.
Yeah.

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,720
It's.
Impossible.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,280
It's impossible.
It's impossible to do it right.

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,760
You know, being able to if you
just start tracking what you're

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,840
doing right and putting it in
the tool and saying, you know,

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,960
how can I make this better,
right?

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,880
You'll start, it'll start giving
you ideas and creating, you

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,280
know, these, these these
opportunities for you to get

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,160
efficiency and productivity
gains that you can take back to

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920
your ball.
Everybody has a annual review

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520
season.
Imagine being able to sit down

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,400
in your annual review season and
say, hey, these are the things

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,960
that I did differently this year
and how it produced this result

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,880
as different to the previous
year.

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400
And these are these are this is
the value that I've created for

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,160
the organization.
What do you think they're going

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,800
to say to you versus the person
who just does the minimum,

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440
right?
This, this again, this is your,

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
this is your career superpower.
This is your career advantage if

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,160
you choose to use it.
Another thing you can do is note

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,320
any improvements in your work
quality or speed that lead to

43
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,160
positive feedback from managers,
right?

44
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,160
Being able to track these things
so that you can see the ROI, the

45
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,320
return on investment of using
Gen.

46
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,680
AI, right?
You want to be able to track

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,360
these things so that you can see
what it's actually doing.

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,000
All right, So moving on, moving
a little bit forward,

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320
identifying any career
advancements or new

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
opportunities that came from
using the Gen.

51
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840
AI tools, right?
You know, as a result of you

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,800
growing, right?
And, and this is, this is a

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
really important point as a
result of you growing, using

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760
this tool to grow in your
capacity in your current roles,

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,600
you're going to learn more,
you're going to learn faster and

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640
bigger and better opportunities
are going to come for you.

57
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,680
Because again, again, you have
to compare yourself to the

58
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400
person who's not using this
tool, right?

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,440
They're going to be doing the
very bare minimum.

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320
And you're going to be given
such a high level quality that

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,080
is going to open up doors and
opportunities for you.

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Any thoughts?
On that anything, any tool that

63
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:49,440
you're using that's allowing you
to produce right better quality

64
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,160
of let's just use emails, right.
Let's say you're only using it

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:01,160
for e-mail and your ability to
write an e-mail better is going

66
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,360
to it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
there, right?

67
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,400
It's by default because you are
reading the content, you are

68
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,360
interacting with the tool
saying, Hey, you know, you know,

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,320
make, make the emails shorter,
right?

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,120
So it'll, it'll teach you how to
write more concise, stronger

71
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,560
emails.
Let's say that you tend to only

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080
focus on yourself in the e-mail,
but you want to write emails

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,200
that focus more on the, on the
person you're writing to, right?

74
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:37,440
It will help you learn the words
that frame you're important,

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,360
more important, your needs are
more important than my needs,

76
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
right?
So essentially anything that you

77
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,920
are practicing and you are
those, those, those I've been,

78
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,240
I've been kind of going through
this, this, this, this, this

79
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,960
training about neuroplasticity
in the brain, right?

80
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,120
And so we have these pathways
that we've been operating on for

81
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,280
such a long time.
Well, when you introduce another

82
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,760
train of thought, right, and you
start, you know, practicing that

83
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,080
over time, you create these new
pathways.

84
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:14,800
So you were again, the new
pathway is how do I frame what

85
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,160
I'm trying to say where it's not
centered around me, right.

86
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320
I remember one of the books I
read and it was been, it was a

87
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400
struggle when I first started
doing this to actually, I think

88
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
it was how to win friends and
influence people.

89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,960
I went through a stage where I'm
not writing an e-mail that

90
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,760
starts off I, you know, how much
work that was.

91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,000
That was a lot of work, man, to
write those emails, right?

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,920
And now you get into the prompt,
Hey, write this e-mail about

93
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,400
whatever this new widget that's
coming and don't make it about

94
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,520
how great we are at implementing
it, but talk about how if you

95
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,360
know it's going to be a benefit
to them and we just want to

96
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,000
partner with you on it.
When you start seeing that

97
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,880
language right now, it becomes a
part of your language if you

98
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,280
start practicing that over and
over and over and over again,

99
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,240
right?
I mean, you know that.

100
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520
So again, right, those of you,
you know, I, I did something

101
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,400
today I normally don't, I
haven't done in a while, but

102
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,680
Tarance wanted to wanted me to
go out and practice with him

103
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,080
this morning.
Bro, I was out at 5:00 AM this

104
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,000
morning getting up buckets.
I hadn't done this in a long

105
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,520
time with Tarance, but he had
still been putting in the work

106
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,360
and it's probably been a few
months.

107
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,040
I'm like, bro, I see the work.
When you put in the work, the

108
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:49,320
results and they will be seen.
So all we're saying is just put

109
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,320
in the work, put in the time
with it and over time you will

110
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,040
get better.
And the person that had seen you

111
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,840
in a couple, you know, you, you
haven't seen that person to

112
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:01,640
e-mail in a couple months,
they're going to read that

113
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,680
e-mail.
They're going to be like, whoa.

114
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440
But that was a strong e-mail.
Because here's the thing, right?

115
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,280
You're not just letting it write
the e-mail and you just take,

116
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,960
you know, there are times I'll
get an e-mail and then I'll

117
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,040
frame it after I get it.
But I still want to have some

118
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,120
influence and some I'm I'm
influence it, influencing it by

119
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,960
talking about the tone and the
and the direction of it.

120
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,440
But even after that, I'm still
adding new ones, right?

121
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,320
I'm adding my.
Creativity to it.

122
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,160
And so again, as you do that, it
becomes a part of it becomes a

123
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080
part of you, your props become
stronger, right?

124
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,560
Yes, yes, yes.
That's good.

125
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,440
Man, that is so good.
I think Here, here.

126
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Here's a pro tip for you.
If you've never asked yourself

127
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,440
the question, and I kind of
touched on this in a in a a

128
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,720
previous episode, if you never
ask yourself the question, how

129
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,440
does my role help the
organization that I work for

130
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,520
generate revenue?
Ask ask chat chat ChatGPT that

131
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,560
tell it what you do and ask it
to break down how what you do

132
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,720
what you do specifically creates
revenue.

133
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,120
It's going to open your mind up
to something, some things that

134
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,360
you probably never even thought
about.

135
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,080
That's.
A great question.

136
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640
By doing this, you, you enable
your company to do that.

137
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920
And because your company's able
to do that, it now is able to

138
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,960
make revenue.
Do you understand the power of

139
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,880
you being able to explain wow in
a meeting, right?

140
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,039
Pro, I'm telling you this, the
pro tip you got to take this

141
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,480
down.
It's the pro tip you if you just

142
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480
if you don't do anything else,
but just use it to understand

143
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,200
how you and what you do create
revenue for the organization.

144
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,360
You'll be able to Terrace point
because you've been, you know,

145
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,600
using the tool, understanding
what it's teaching you.

146
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Your vocabulary will begin to
change.

147
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,640
How you articulate what you do
will begin to change.

148
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,560
And leaders notice that they
again, compared to the person

149
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,440
who's just doing the minimum,
you're going to move right by

150
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,840
them.
Like they said, like they said,

151
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Steve, right.
So this is this is good.

152
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Stuff, yeah, you can't let it
pass you by, man.

153
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,160
There there are, there are, you
know, and I'm going to I'm going

154
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,400
to challenge those out there.
And this is something that, you

155
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
know, actually it's, it's not a
it's something that I've

156
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,800
adopted.
It's actually something that I

157
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,520
took from my wife.
And you know, sometimes, you

158
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:35,840
know, we as individuals who have
strong resolve, we can be so

159
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,880
locked in on the method or a
way.

160
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640
And I'm I'm talking about
myself, to be honest here.

161
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,120
We you know, Ralph was work with
me media.

162
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,840
He knows my resolve is it's
resolute.

163
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,840
It's resolute.
But it took years and I finally

164
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800
just said, you know what, she's
right.

165
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,920
She says it doesn't have to be
either or it can be both.

166
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,720
So meaning that those of you who
are still on the fence about,

167
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,600
you know, AI and you know, it's,
it's it's diabolicalness, you

168
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,160
know, yeah, just give it a try,
doesn't it?

169
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,760
You don't have to do either.
You don't have to be so pro or

170
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,240
you don't have to be so against
it.

171
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,960
It can, it can be both.
And, and we're going to talk

172
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,680
about this.
There's a balance with it.

173
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,720
There is a balance with it.
And, you know, just don't let it

174
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,320
pass you by.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

175
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Good, good point.
Great point.

176
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Great point, great point.
So let's let's get into the the

177
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,680
next topic, which is ethical
considerations when using Gen.

178
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,320
AI, right?
Ensuring transparency when AI is

179
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,360
used in decision making
processes, right?

180
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,240
So you, you can't, you can't go
use AI to do all your work for

181
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,760
you, right?
And just say, Oh yeah, I'm so

182
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,320
wonderful.
I came up with all this on my

183
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,320
own, right?
You know, it's, it's good to be

184
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,320
to have integrity and to make
sure that you are transparent,

185
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,400
you know, when you use these
tools, right?

186
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,840
There's nothing wrong with
saying, you know, I used a Gen.

187
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,560
AI tool to help me think through
the process and come up with,

188
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
you know, the frameworks and
things of that nature, right?

189
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,640
In my opinion, it makes you more
valuable when you can articulate

190
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,320
that because it shows that you
understand how to use generative

191
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,920
AI tools to make you better,
which makes the organization

192
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,440
better.
But you don't want to try to,

193
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,120
you know, come across as though,
yeah, I came up with everything

194
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,440
on my own and I'm just the
greatest thing in the world

195
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160
because somebody will ask you a
question about something that

196
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,400
you don't understand, and it'll
surface your inefficiencies

197
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,080
quickly right there in front of
you.

198
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Right.
But I mean, what?

199
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,320
What are your thoughts on that
here?

200
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Here's the thing, right, Most
companies today are embracing it

201
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:06,280
and to be seen as a leader in
the in the in, in that area are

202
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,960
are are in that space.
I think I think it's great.

203
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,560
Yeah.
I, I, you know, I think

204
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:17,960
transparency is good.
I think it's also relevant

205
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,240
because you want to ensure that
you are in alignment with the,

206
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,840
with the, with the, with the,
with the, the acceptable use

207
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,600
policy is what I'm job thinking
about of how your company is

208
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,840
saying, you know, they want you
to leverage it, right?

209
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,760
I have friends across all
industries and at some level

210
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,840
every organization is embracing
AI.

211
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,120
And if you can partner with your
IT department, if you can

212
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,320
partner with, you know, whomever
in your organization is leading

213
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760
the way, right?
Because here's what we do know,

214
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,840
not all departments are going to
be moving at the same pace,

215
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,160
right?
So you may have to partner with

216
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,920
a department that's, you know,
moving at a little faster pace.

217
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,520
And then, you know, you learn
how to socialize how your your

218
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,800
team can best use it, right?
Yeah, that's, yeah, that's

219
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,360
really good.
That's really good.

220
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Yeah, it's yeah, yeah.
You summed it up well, Terry.

221
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400
It's something that you want to
get in alignment with.

222
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,960
I, I, I posted something on
LinkedIn this week and I don't

223
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,560
take credit for it.
The CEO of NVIDIA actually said

224
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,520
this.
I don't remember his name, but

225
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,560
he said AI may not replace your
job, but somebody who knows AI

226
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,360
probably.
Will, I saw that post?

227
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,800
Yeah.
I saw that's, that's the reality

228
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,280
that we live in today, right?
When you if you were to look at

229
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,320
the investments that these
companies are making into AI,

230
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840
you have to ask yourself the
question, they're not doing this

231
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,720
just because it's cool, right?
They're doing this because it's

232
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,080
going to make them money.
And those who align, you know,

233
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,720
you, you have a definitely a
great opportunity in history

234
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,600
right now for me as I talk to
young people who are getting

235
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,680
into technology.
If you had asked me five years

236
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,560
ago when to get into, I would
have said it's higher security,

237
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
But now 101 hundred percent is
AI for sure, right?

238
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,400
And I know that's that's a very
general and broad term, but you

239
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040
need to Start learning how to
use AI to fix business problems

240
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,800
that will get that will take you
the next 15 to 20 years.

241
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,240
And I think that's the key,
Ralph.

242
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Here's the thing, right?
Here's what we know.

243
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Ford solve what business problem
I need to get from A to B

244
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,120
faster?
Yeah, that's right.

245
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Yeah.
Right the at the end of the day,

246
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,400
it's the same.
Every organization has the same

247
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760
problem.
How do I get from A to B faster?

248
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,320
Now, what is A and what is B?
You got to feel that in.

249
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,160
A and AI can help you with that.
It can help you define the A and

250
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,920
the B.
That's right, that's right.

251
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,080
On so many levels, it can help
you.
