Note #9 to Sookie: Ride the AI Wave
Dear Sookie,
People who are actively learning and applying AI in their work are already seeing clear career growth.
This is a short update.
First, check out Eric Schmidt’s recent TED talk. I’ve bookmarked it to the end, where he’s basically saying that everyone needs to learn and leverage AI immediately. He says to, “Ride the wave, but ride it every day.” As you have been reading in my previous notes, I completely agree.
One of the AI newsletters that I like to read is called “The Neuron”. Read the section in today’s newsletter entitled, “New Data Shows AI Is Actually Making *Some Workers More Valuable (and Richer)”.
Keep growing as an AI champion for your company and your industry. My own career is sky-rocketing and so can yours. Yes, you might say that it’s because I have a PhD in this stuff, but I’ve been witnessing so many other friends that have no educational background in AI sky-rocket their careers. They are just putting in the daily work with these tools and continuing to push themselves to learn everyday!
Let’s go!
Sincerely,
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.
