Week 9 - Three Ways to Prepare for AI (Adopt)



Todd Kelsey explains in his book Surfing The Tsunami An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Options for Responding, the concept of Adopting AI. Adopt is a step above Adapt. To adopt AI, Kelsey explains, is to incorporate AI systems already out there into ones own business. For example, QuickBooks is an AI software that keeps accounting records automatically without the use of an accountant. Kelsey also goes on to explain that there seems to be no limit to how sophisticated AI can become. With that in mind, one can infer two things. One, robots will inevitably take over the world. And two, the less serious outcome, is that AI will become a pivotal aspect in any future business. So it is best to learn and adopt AI now in order to be ahead of those who do not. Even the simplest of AI additions to one's company may not pay dividends immediately, but the knowledge and experience gained from using and getting familiar with the AI will be extremely useful in the future years to come.

Week 4 Blog 1 - Adapt, Adopt, Adept - Chapter 4: Surfing the Tsunami - My Takeaway

     After reading Chapter 4 of Surfing The Tsunami by Todd Kelsey, I was informed of the three different levels of responding to AI. Adapting to AI is when one becomes aware of what AI is and where it is heading. Adopting AI is when one starts to utilize AI tools and programs. Finally, being Adept to AI is when one is actively included in the process of pushing the AI boundary and creating new tech that allows it to flourish.      Recently, I have been taking a class on Digital Marketing, and at the beginning, I believe myself to have been in the Adapting category. I was aware of AI and what its capabilities were, however, I was not used to utilizing AI and its tools. As of now, however, I believe myself to be in the Adopting category because of my extensive use and research into ChatGPT and OpenAI.

It is no secret that there are definitely more advertisements and sales that go on during the holiday season when compared to any other time of the year and that is not a coincidence. Many Businesses understand the timeliness of this specific time of year and issue sales accordingly. Because the holiday season is all about giving and being kind, companies use that to their advantage. By putting a bunch of their own products on sale, they are increasing the likelihood that potential customers will buy that product as a gift for someone else. Another reason for all the sales the companies have on their products during the holiday season is because it is a great way to bring in new customers by giving them coupons and other money saving opportunities in the future.
