In December 2022, Josh Drean and I embarked on journey, signing a book contract with Harvard Business Review. Our working title, "EMPLOYMENT IS DEAD: How Disruptive Technologies Are Revolutionizing the Way We Work," aimed to capture the essence of the massive technological shifts reshaping our work landscape and humanity itself. To our amazement, HBR embraced our bold title, setting the stage for what has become one of the most rewarding partnerships of my career. As we delved deeper into the changing world of work, driven by AI and web3 technologies, we uncovered insights that we're eager to share. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be presenting some of these findings at HBR's Future of Business Conference on October 16th. I invite you to join me for my session: "A Playbook for Workforce and Workplace Transformation": https://lnkd.in/gCc77iXW For those interested in exploring our full perspective on the future of business + work, our book "EMPLOYMENT IS DEAD" is now available for pre-order on Amazon: https://lnkd.in/gVbgMUKA Josh and I are incredibly grateful for the support we've received throughout this journey.

How great it was to talk to Chief reporter Lindsey Galloway about the growing importance of the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO) in the C-Suite https://lnkd.in/gsyNAtAS

Our book is in the first wave being published with the help of AI. Here’s what I’ve learned: AI IS A NICE AID…IT DOES NOT REPLACE It was nice to be able to ask AI questions and have it scrub the internet faster than I can. We were able to find and verify research and articles much faster, but whenever we asked it to organically write a section of the book for us, it did a pretty terrible job. NOBA CLAUSES AI had a particular way of writing. It used what I call NOBA clauses: “Not only, but also.” For example “It is essential not only to provide workers with the needed flexibility but also to empower companies with the agility.” It also uses 3 descriptive nouns every time to prove a point, and the next time it says “in the burgeoning field of…” Imma lose my shit. ORGANIZATIONAL BLISS Building a viable outline, discovering weaknesses, making arguments stronger. It did a phenomenal job helping us organize the content into a comprehensive manuscript. FAR FROM HUMAN I fought a long battle to have it mimic my voice by training the model based on my previous writings and content. It never got it right. I discovered 2 modes: professional language that sounded like a research article, and conversational, which NEVER came across as authentic. 10 out of 10 times I abandoned its attempts to sound like my voice. GREAT FOR GRAMMAR My favorite prompt: “here’s a concept I am workshopping. Rewrite for clarity and flow.” Once you get your thoughts together, it can help to connect ideas and streamline your language. This was the most practical use for me. HUMANS WILL REJECT AI CONTENT Some are saying AI influencers are going to take over and Sora is replacing film makers etc..., but what I’ve seen is when people recognize that a piece of writing or imagery is computer generated, they reject it immediately. I use AI images in my YouTube videos and I get comments all the time that it is a turn off. I can now recognize AI content immediately and personally reject it because I know that it didn’t come from a human. My prediction is that we as a society will walk away from GenAI content after the hype dies down because robots are incapable of emotion…and emotion is an important element of content consumption. AI WILL NOT REPLACE US Imagine having a calculator that does everything! That’s great, but you will still always need someone to input the data, or ask it the right questions, or make sure it is staying on task and target. AI will enhance our productivity and amplify our skills…but it will not replace us. You will inevitably have to learn how to use it…which will become your competitive advantage. What a fascinating symbiosis of human and computer to bring this book into the world.
