Faisal Hoque: Transcend

The most compelling use cases for AI aren’t people OR AI – it’s both. Leaders who learn how to partner with AI will almost certainly open doors that many others don’t. In this episode, Faisal and I explore (a few steps on) how to get started.
Key Points
- While we think about working with AI as very different than working with people, similar mindsets and skill sets help us with both.
- Partnering well with AI means asking better questions and being genuinely interested in the answers.
- Experts are limited by their perspective. Beginners are open to possibilities. We should approach AI with a beginner’s mindset.
- Using AI well means getting more comfortable with uncertainty. We need to own our ignorance.
- Playful discovery helps with our intrinsic motivation to keep going. When using AI, find the fun that keeps you engaged.
- This technology will do the logical work far better than any human. To partner well, work to increase your emotional intelligence.
