    AI: Two Years In. Is Anyone Else Seeing This?

    In this video, I reflect on two years of utilising AI in various ways, from enhancing personal productivity to redesigning workflows around AI-centric work and what that means for our business.In many ways, I remain optimistic, but in other ways, I feel we need to act now if we are to align this technology for human benefit. Over the past two years, we have witnessed the transformative potential of Generative AI technologies, including GPT and Claude.How Large Language Models (LLMs) have evolved, and while they may not be the route to AGI, they are already powerful enough to impact businesses and jobs significantly. I go on to discuss the concept of 'Human in the Loop,' examining the need to reimagine knowledge work and apply AI to eliminate inefficiencies rapidly.00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:32 The Evolution and Impact of LLMs01:37 The Threat to Jobs and How to Adapt03:50 Human Efficiency and AI Integration05:17 Real-World Examples and AI Applications09:06 The Concept of Human in the Loop12:32 Reimagining Work with AI16:02 Practical AI Adoption Strategies26:12 Conclusion and Future DirectionsBelow are some quotes I chose not to use in the video, which shows how large companies are viewing it as a way to wage war on jobs.Marianne Lake (JPMorgan)Projected AI would “enable” a 10% reduction in their workforce Sebastian Siemiatkowski (Klarna CEO)Warned that rapid AI adoption could trigger a recession as white-collar jobs disappear, citing Klarna’s own reduction from 5,500 to 3,000 employees after deploying AIArvind Krishna (IBM CEO)Oversaw layoffs of thousands in HR as AI automation increased, and highlighted AI’s role in workforce changesLink to articles and resources mentioned in the video:  / the-threat-to-knowledge-workers-is-not-ai-...  I remain positive and believe there is a way forward where we can utilise this technology to our advantage and the benefit of small businesses worldwide, but we must do so quickly.💬 Drop your questions or takeaways in the comments! 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for more AI-powered tech UNBOXED.
