Join Flow State Founder Stuart P. Turner and five special guests for a journey into some of the big questions surrounding AI: Why does AI suddenly seem to be everywhere? Should we be scared or excited about the imminent arrival of our robot overlords? And most importantly, what can we actually do with it right now? This mini series cuts through the hype and general panic to share perspectives and predictions on the implications of AI for jobs, education, and life in the digital industry.

Why has AI suddenly captured everyone's attention, and should we be more cautious about when and where it is adopted?
AI has actually been in existence for quite some time, so why has it suddenly exploded out into the public consciousness? Eve and Stu dive into the current state of AI tools and how they can be successfully leveraged to drive forward digital transformation for brands, as well as the more dangerous real world implications of adopting AI models being used in areas like mental health and support services.

Authors and copywriters; don't panic! AI can't get promoted past junior level in your business (yet)
AI is functionally helpful and we should embrace it (with caution), however it lacks the nuance and richness in communication that comes from living the human experience.
Brooke and Stu dive into the utility and limitations of AI for writing; how clients are considering it in briefs, how copywriters can work with it and crucially, where the big gaps are in the current language models.

You should be utilising AI as much as you can (if you can) to keep your job, but it isn't going to be winning any awards on it's own this year
To the practiced eye, it's still easy to tell the difference between a human crafted piece of written copy and a ChatGPT stock output (for now), however that doesn't mean that the current models can't help you.
Lee and Stu talk human vs. robots, the opportunities and limitations surrounding the current models and why there's only so much you can learn by putting things in your mouth.

AI can enhance our capabilities and break down communication barriers between disciplines, but is everyone ready (or even interested)?
Navigating the incredible complexity of the buyer journey in the B2B data products space, Melinda and Stu discuss how AI can help simplify complex concepts, bridge cross functional gaps inside global brands and enhance your team just like our old friend Clippy used to in 1990s Microsoft Word.

Will AI help us escape the algorithm echo-chamber and become a force for social good?
AI has the potential to help us create solutions to some of the biggest issues we face as a species right now - but will it be deployed as a force for good or simply become another tool in the advertising / capitalist machinery?
Terri and Stu discuss the implications for the next generations if AI becomes part of every day life, the dangers of the commercialisation of education and why you should always listen to your Nan.
