A short talk by Cameron Herold explaining that the immediate business impact of AI will come less from automation and more from employee fear and nervousness. He urges leaders to encourage employees to experiment with AI (e.g., spend regular time each week trying tools like ChatGPT and many others), report use-cases, and embrace AI to avoid falling behind.

So AI now becomes a huge opportunity for the best employees. And what I want us as entrepreneurs and CEOs and COOs to be thinking about is how do we actually show our best employees that the only employees that are at risk of losing their jobs because of AI are the ones that don't leverage AI in their jobs. So one of the biggest ways that AI is going to impact your business, and it's not something that most people are talking about, but it is a critical thing for CEOs and COOs to be paying attention to. The real impact that's going to be happening because of AI in your company over the next 12 months is not related to automation, it's not related to the artificial intelligence, and it's not related to computers actually doing the work. What it's related to is the nervousness and fear that it's actually setting up all of our employees to have on a day to day basis inside of our companies. The reality is most employees are already nervous about the impact of AI on their jobs. Most employees are worried about how to utilize AI. So AI now becomes a huge opportunity for the best employees. And what I want us as entrepreneurs and CEOs and COOs to be thinking about is how do we actually show our best employees that the only employees that are at risk of losing their jobs because of AI are the ones that don't leverage AI in their jobs. So what I like doing is having my employees play for at least one hour a day, or sorry, one hour a week, but even one hour a day play with using AI in their jobs, practicing using AI in their jobs. So as an example, ChatGPT is only one of currently about 1500 different AI tools that exist. There's actually a dashboard called there is an AI for that. If you go to thereisanaifer that.com that dashboard shows about 5500 different things that AI can do for companies. And there's about 1500 tools that people can be using. And as a, as an example, again, ChatGPT is only one of those tools. So have your employees playing with a bunch of the different AI tools and then every Monday report back with what they were playing with, what they tried doing and how it went, and share the different use cases of how they're using AI in their jobs. But you need your employees to not be fearful of AI. You need them to embrace it. And again, the real impact on your business is not going to be because of using AI. It's going to be because of the fear and the nervousness that has everybody in your company paralyzed. So you need to help free up that nervousness and have them embracing it and having fun with it. So don't stop now. Click here. There's more great videos that you can keep learning from, and together we're unlocking amazing leadership lessons together.
