    Are we ready for AI in Our Lives

    So we start with as broad a subject as we could think of!!! Just the ease ourselves into the new series.

    We spin through AI that is already here in our lives and what could happen and how as an organisation you need a strategy or someone in post to manage your AI efforts in this new brave world.



    We discuss AI in insurance, health care and go slightly off piste with speculation of how we could get kidnapped with an autonomous car controlled from your phone. I know it got dark quickly, but the blame goes squarely on Gavin's shoulders for that.

    How AI is Unlocking Creativity

    How AI is Unlocking Creativity

    Today we talk about the impact that AI is having on creativity. Both positively and negatively. We chat about what things you can do without technical knowledge, how it can be used smartly and touching on the pace that it is moving.

    We focus on the host of tools that are out there to provide 'creative' outputs, that might be seen as giving a voice to those that have great ideas but maybe not the skills to deliver them creatively.

    We also touch on the future of creativity in science and how we are seeing the first signs of AGI - Artificial General Intelligence in the wings.

    Here are a list of the tools that we discuss in the podcast that might be useful to look at and see how you get on.

    ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Anthropic

    Build your own GPT

    Build your own GPT

    In this episode we discuss the new release from Open AI
    around their ChatGPT application.

     

    If you are a ChatGPT Plus subscriber you can build your own
    GPT and we chat through our early findings and what worked and did not work
    when we had a little go and our first look at the technology.

     

    So, we discussed build Medical bots, Marine survey bots and
    even a marketing bot that all worked in collaboration with the user.

     

    Have a listen to our success and failures! It did not all go
    up in flames, but we did have some fun groping around their revolutionary new
    interface.

     

    Have a go yourself and let us know how you get on.

    With the incredible options to automate the conversation across all channels, so that there are no waiting times and giving a very cost effective and positive impression to the customer even if you don't keep them this time.
    We discuss those high churn sectors such as insurance and how a logical plan can escalate your handling of a customer without a large friction path, but enough to make business sense.
