Note #5 to Ken: PrivateGPT Enables Your Team to Shape Your AI Future
Dear Ken,
If you want your employees to lead the way in building your AI future, equip them with a PrivateGPT environment designed for safe, empowered experimentation.
So in my last note, I wrote about how setting up a PrivateGPT environment is the only way to truly have full control over protecting your company’s data. Well, the reality is that if you do not set up a PrivateGPT environment for your employees, some of them are already taking your company data and putting it into ChatGPT or other tools.
Thus, your inaction is actually creating incentives for your employees to compromise your company’s data AND to not tell you about it.
But let me flip is to the positive side of things. If you set up a PrivateGPT environment for your employees, you will send a message that tells your employees that…
Your company welcomes and expects your employees to start learning AI.
Your company has been very thoughtful about how to provide properly secure and safe AI tools for your employees to use.
Your company does not allow use of unapproved AI tools to be used with your company data.
As a leader, you recognize that your employees hold the most critical company knowledge and skills—and you’re empowering them to translate that expertise into PrivateGPT functions that will form the foundation of your future AI capabilities.
Let me dig into that last point. One of the main ways that your company will acquire AI capabilities and IP is through this following process:
Employee Jill starts playing around with your company data in your PrivateGPT environment and discovers an amazingly easy and new way to do specifications review.
Jill shares her prompt and function (also known as a GPT in OpenAI language) with the rest of your company members that are in your PrivateGPT environment
As various members of your company use Jill’s new function for specifications review, a group of your employees say, “Man, this is so good. I wish we could connect X functionality with Jill’s function. If we do that, then we actually have a new product/service that our company can sell!”
You invest in building this functionality through hiring bluefoxlabs.ai, or a company like us, and you have now built your company’s first AI service/product.
PrivateGPT is actually the beginning of the AI future of your business.
Next week we will talk about how PrivateGPT gives you flexibility over which AI models you can use and why it’s important to have that flexibility!
With care,
Dr. Joe, Your AI Doctor
These notes are for 'Ken' and 'Sookie,' the American names my young Korean immigrant parents adopted while navigating profound change as they moved to the US in the 1970’s. In the notes within this blog, I imagine them as young adults again, but now encountering change and uncertainty from today's AI shifts – Sookie with potential job uncertainty, Ken with business disruption.
Drawing inspiration from their historical resilience as young immigrants facing the unknown, I'm compelled to write with empathy and offer truly helpful thoughts for anyone navigating AI's rapid evolution. Remember, this isn't financial or direct strategic advice, but a perspective to encourage your own thoughtful consideration. I do not identify myself as their son in these notes, but in reality, I write with a son’s heart.
My notes to Sookie will always be free, as I understand employees often navigate workplace changes with fewer resources and support systems. My notes to Ken will be offered at an accessible price point designed to be a worthwhile investment for businesses of any size looking to adapt to AI changes.
