#19: AI Rising Conference

Are you wondering how AI will truly change your job and reshape your industry? This episode brings the key insights from the AI Rising Conference directly to you.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• AI Participation is Not Optional: Keynote speaker Ryan Frederick argues that to stay relevant, professionals and businesses must "skate where the puck is going," actively engaging with AI to avoid being left behind.

• Your Value is How You Use AI: The future of employee performance is shifting from time spent on tasks to the effective use of AI tools. The goal is to become the "AI go-to person" by treating AI as an extension of your own capabilities, not a replacement.

• Humans Create, AI Accelerates: AI's primary role is to assist and accelerate human creativity and connection, not to replace workers. As panelist Laurie Kenley states, "copilot helps you, but you still need to land the plane."

• How to Learn AI Safely: A practical approach to adopting AI is to start using it conversationally (like you would Google) but to always "trust but verify" its output, treating it like advice from your neighbor: helpful, but in need of a fact-check.
