Every company has AI champions. You just might not know who they are. AI champions are the ones who dig for practical AI applications in the workplace. They're the early adopters. The ones who downloaded ChatGPT the second it came out. The ones who always experiment with AI and emerge with ideas that make their colleagues' jaws drop. They challenge, direct, and inspire their peers. Leaders from Google, CVS Health, Amazon, Mastercard, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs and New York University have already enrolled in my #1 rated AI for Business Leaders course. Now, for a limited time, you can upskill your team in a private cohort and an optional 1:1 with me 👋 Ensure your entire leadership is aligned and ready to drive AI innovation. Because if you don’t…well…I think you can guess what happens. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/euSTRcUg 🔗

Cooley's DEI Team is hiring! This is a great team to work with led by Kelly A. Batts and Erica Deane. Information on the role is below, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

What we need right now is more posts about remote work vs. in-office. We're SO close to resolving the debate. One more post could tip the balance. Come on, LinkedIn, you got this.

Yesterday, I spoke with the GC of a massive public company about what differentiates good in-house attorneys from great ones. "𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 in this job knows the law", he said. It's about what comes 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 that baseline. Specifically, it's about the ability to build relationships that drive business forward. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫. Soft skills as seemingly simple as clear communication and being personable. In-house, your law degree is just table stakes. The top performers are the ones who can blend legal expertise with people skills and business acumen.

I just had a fun conversation with an MIT robot designed to help folks who believe in conspiracy theories to understand, examine, and sometimes change their beliefs. Early research suggests that conversations with AI chat robots, like ChatGPT, are more effective than human conversations in modifying beliefs. https://lnkd.in/gXJ6uQhv Scientists believe this phenomenon, if real, could be caused by a couple of factors: Personalization, Trust, and Lack of Ego. First, the AI is very effective in responding to very specific beliefs and responding with evidence that may be more effective than more generic conversation. Further, participants may perceive the bots as more trustworthy with less bias than a fellow human might be. And finally, participants may not feel the embarrassment about changing their minds when they know it is a non judgemental robot on the other end, not a fellow human. Link is below...try it.
