0:09 forget trying to keep up with AI it's
0:11 moving too fast it's time to think
0:13 differently about it welcome to the AI
0:16 Readiness project hosted by Kyle Shannon
0:18 and Anne Murphy here to help you build
0:20 the mindset that thrive in an AI driven
0:22 world and prepare for what's
0:25 [Music]
0:27 coming boom
0:30 did it we
0:33 podcast hey everybody hello everyone uh
0:37 I'm Kyle Shannon I'm Ann Murphy and we
0:41 are
0:44 insane we knew we put a podcast up in a
0:47 couple of days that's how things go
0:50 about a week and a half ago I said to I
0:53 said to an hey maybe we should do a
0:55 podcast together she goes I was thinking
0:57 the same thing and so and then I think
1:00 was it you that said maybe we launch
1:02 next Wednesday was I think you were the
1:05 one that did that it was probably me who
1:07 did that and then I Disappeared for half
1:09 a day and you had put everything
1:11 together so it worked out perfectly so
1:13 here we are it worked out nice for you
1:15 uh we also have we have some folks in
1:18 the live so we've got uh Corey Sandlers
1:21 here says hey hi Corey and we have Ena
1:24 from Canada
1:26 Canada hi Ena hello hello so so welcome
1:31 so this is the AI Readiness project and
1:35 we'll give you I'll give you a little
1:36 bit of the background here there's Vicky
1:38 Vicky Baptist give you a little bit of
1:41 background um Ann and I two years ago
1:44 did a project called GPT for good where
1:47 we got our communities together to build
1:48 some custom gpts that was really fun and
1:51 then this year we did uh AI festiv us
1:55 which was just amazing 34 speakers over
1:58 24 hours and it it was just nuts um and
2:02 out of that came the AI Readiness
2:04 training program so sort of you know a
2:08 big request from people was like I want
2:10 to understand how to be ready for this
2:12 stuff and so we were talk we've been
2:15 talking a while and part of it is about
2:18 that program but part of is is is also
2:20 just kind of like checking in with each
2:22 other like how are you doing what are
2:23 you doing so so that that's what this
2:25 Show's all about is just sort of
2:27 checking in with where we are with AI so
2:31 yep what are what are your thoughts you
2:32 excited for this thing I'm super excited
2:35 about it and you know you and I we
2:38 started this conversation I don't know
2:41 when talking about the difference
2:42 between AI literacy and AI Readiness
2:45 because there was this big like I I and
2:48 by the way no beef for people who are
2:51 like AI team AI literacy that's great
2:55 there lots to learn there's lots and
2:57 lots to learn we hit that moment where
3:01 we realized there's actually too too too
3:05 much to learn to even try we reached the
3:08 point of diminishing returns probably
3:10 faster than some other people just
3:11 because be of being so overwhelmed just
3:14 like full on overwhelmed yeah and so
3:17 then we started talking about what it
3:20 would mean to be AI ready and because
3:25 today is my first day on a podcast ever
3:27 in my life well besides being a guest I
3:30 did a little bit of research to tell
3:31 nice people what AI Readiness is if
3:35 they're wondering yeah I well I I love
3:38 it and then so yeah let's let's get the
3:40 definition of AI Readiness because I
3:42 don't know this is new to me and then
3:44 we'll get into our our first little
3:45 segment I'm excited all right so okay
3:47 yeah this is part of the first segment
3:50 you didn't know that um okay so compr so
3:55 here's a definition that I really like
3:57 there's a lot of different ways that
3:58 people describe AI readiness but here's
4:00 the one that I that I'm really embracing
4:03 comprehensive preparedness to derive
4:06 value from AI
4:08 technology yeah comprehensive
4:10 preparedness to derive value from AI
4:13 technology and that's what's so good
4:16 about the AI Readiness program is that's
4:20 what it is it's comprehensive it's not
4:23 specific about any one thing yeah it's
4:27 yeah everything from ethics to
4:28 creativity to business to just you know
4:31 Hands-On you know practical use cases
4:33 things like that that's the the biggest
4:36 thing for me is
4:38 that AI because it's moving so fast and
4:41 we'll talk about this later because it's
4:43 moving so fast whatever you learn today
4:46 will be obsolete three months from now
4:48 and potentially three weeks from now
4:50 right it is really insane um and and so
4:54 uh so being hyper curious hyper
4:57 adaptable being being just you know in a
5:00 where you know things are in flux and
5:02 they're coming at you fast that's the
5:04 biggest key to success so with that yeah
5:08 let's let's talk about our first
5:12 question so I'll pose it to you and then
5:14 next week you can pose
5:16 it how ready for AI are you this
5:22 week interesting conversation the last
5:26 couple of days has been about when we
5:29 are
5:30 working with Enterprises on AI adoption
5:35 the fact that it doesn't matter how
5:37 ready for AI anybody is because you
5:41 can't just force feed AI into a system
5:45 you have to fix the people and the
5:47 process and the culture around it so
5:50 when I'm thinking about am I AI ready is
5:54 somebody else is an individual AI ready
5:56 or is an organization AI ready it's like
5:59 this remind that we're in this broader
6:01 context of life and that it's about it's
6:07 it's we we talk about this all the time
6:09 like it's about the technology but it's
6:10 also not about the
6:12 technology you know like well yeah it's
6:15 about it's about understanding that the
6:16 technology makes something new possible
6:19 yeah but that means that you have to be
6:21 thinking about things in a new you have
6:23 to be ready to think about that it makes
6:25 new things possible right that it makes
6:27 new things possible and you that really
6:30 is like retraining your brain yeah right
6:34 so many of us were just like this is the
6:36 way we do things we do things the way
6:38 they were done before us and there's
6:39 death just the way it is and we sat
6:41 around saying there's got to be a better
6:43 way there's got to be a better way but
6:45 we didn't always have such an easy like
6:48 easy access yeah to doing things a
6:50 different way and now we do well and I
6:52 like I find it on a personal level I'm
6:54 like the thing I'm having to
6:56 unlearn is my instinct for how I use my
7:00 brain so someone says oh I need 10 ideas
7:04 and my instinct is oh here's a
7:05 whiteboard let me get the Whiteboard out
7:07 I'm good at the Whiteboard jockeying
7:09 thing yeah no I don't have to do that
7:11 anymore I've now got a tool that can
7:14 give me 50 ideas in the time I can come
7:15 up with three yeah and then I can spend
7:18 time at the higher level creative um so
7:22 let me ask you person where are you
7:25 personally
7:27 personally personally with my AI writing
7:30 this I what I what I appreciate right
7:33 now is that you know back in December
7:36 they dropped all of those updates right
7:38 during days of shipments 12 days
7:41 shipments the 12 awkward days of tech
7:45 announcements ever
7:48 exactly and I had angst because I wasn't
7:51 keeping up yep right lots of people did
7:54 and I got I still got sucked in not like
7:57 horrifically no like shame spiraling but
8:00 just like oh man fomo that I wasn't up
8:02 to speed and this week wait what day is
8:06 today Wednesday today's so like on
8:09 Monday or yesterday things more things
8:11 started dropping and I knew I was
8:13 immediately falling behind and I felt
8:15 for the first time like oh well it's oh
8:20 it really is okay Ann it is okay that
8:22 you don't know you're not the first
8:24 person to be like 3.7
8:27 does I because there's going to be the
8:30 next thing and the next thing and I will
8:33 I will embrace it and like saturate
8:35 myself in it when the time is right I'm
8:38 not falling behind I might be behind
8:41 some of the people who are posting stuff
8:43 and you know but I also have friends
8:45 like you so I speed yeah but I can't I
8:50 can't keep up anymore either you know
8:52 I've been through I've probably been
8:53 through four existential crises this you
8:56 know in the past 12 months right every
8:59 time I think I have figured out it just
9:00 shifts again and it doesn't shift like
9:03 on a day it's just like you just feel
9:04 like the thing that was relevant before
9:06 just slowly like its relevance just
9:09 slowly drains away and then you kind of
9:11 left with oh what do I talk about now or
9:14 what do I do now and I'm even I'm even
9:17 at the point where it's
9:20 beyond I can't keep up with 3.7 here 4.5
9:24 there all that sort of stuff even within
9:26 a single tool like clawed or like the
9:30 suite of Gemini products or all the
9:31 stuff within open AI chat GPT all the
9:34 new features within mid Journey it's
9:36 like to a tool like even if I just did
9:39 that tool I don't think I can keep up
9:41 with just one tool and so and I think I
9:46 think where I'm getting to acceptance
9:49 like I was in denial for a while and I'm
9:52 slowly working towards acceptance is is
9:55 just
9:57 that just knowing that the stuff is
10:00 there and knowing that the stuff is good
10:02 enough to accomplish what you need it to
10:04 accomplish when you need it and that you
10:07 don't have to deal with it until you
10:09 need it to some degree because these
10:11 tools are getting so much better they
10:14 are getting so much better and I think
10:17 that what there's a compounding effect
10:20 of realizing that you now know how to
10:24 learn stuff in a way that you haven't
10:26 known how to learn stuff before so the
10:29 first few times you use AI things and it
10:31 seems janky you're like oh man that's
10:34 not fair you know it's supposed to work
10:37 it's magic and then you start to realize
10:38 no it's not magic but still there's like
10:42 the ups and the Downs with it of feeling
10:45 like you're now you're you're getting it
10:47 and now you're not and I'm just like I
10:50 think that it's possible in my case I
10:55 think that the novelty may have worn off
10:58 but in a really positive way
11:00 like I now feel symbiotic with AI more
11:06 so than that it's something that I'm
11:08 even trying to control or use it's just
11:12 part of me and that yeah and that makes
11:17 it feel like well the next thing is
11:20 going to happen but I've got all this
11:21 muscle memory I'm GNA figure out what
11:24 buttons to push right and if it doesn't
11:27 work at first I know that that's normal
11:30 it's maybe it's me maybe it's not it
11:32 doesn't matter there's an alternative
11:35 for sure that now of course there's some
11:37 alternative that also is good so it's
11:39 starting to feel like it's real life you
11:43 know it's it's it's funny you mention
11:46 that one of the things that I've
11:49 been coming up against or or I I mean
11:54 it's it's kind of this organic sort of
11:56 thing that you just described but it's
11:59 and it's about the learning piece
12:02 so if you look at AI from the outside
12:05 you could say well if it's doing all
12:06 this work for you you're not learning
12:07 anything and I I find quite the opposite
12:10 to be true and and what I'm what I'm
12:13 even finding is that it's not even so
12:16 much that I'm learning new skills like
12:18 I'm I'm learning how to code or I'm
12:20 learning how to do graphic design it's
12:22 more like what AI is doing is
12:25 demystifying what used to be a black box
12:28 that I didn't think I had a key to oh
12:31 yeah right that that it was like it was
12:33 like there were there were certain
12:34 things that just in my mind I said well
12:36 you can't do that because you're not a
12:38 coder or you have ADHD or you didn't go
12:40 to the right school or you didn't have
12:41 the right parents whatever you know
12:43 because because you know Daddy said you
12:44 weren't talented when you were seven
12:46 right whatever whatever it is yeah and
12:49 and now ai kind of lets you open that
12:51 box and look into it and it's like you
12:55 you're like oh I that's actually more
12:57 simple than I thought it would be and I
12:59 I kind of and am am discovering onramps
13:03 to things that I didn't think I would
13:05 ever be able to step into yeah ABS I
13:08 love that I love that it is
13:11 demystifying and even AI is demystifying
13:15 AI like it's just um your the ability to
13:18 just ask it what to do I continued to
13:21 not believe that that was true for the
13:23 longest time I was like I don't know I
13:25 refuse to ask CAD GPT how to use CAD GPT
13:31 I that's so
13:34 basic but again that but that gets back
13:36 to that retraining your brain right
13:38 because in your brain you're like well
13:39 I've got to write the promt I have to
13:41 figure it out I have to figure it out
13:43 it's like it like that is that is
13:46 there's a little step in there there's
13:47 an AI Readiness nugget there yeah right
13:51 um let me look at some comments here
13:53 let's see Corey Sandler Did we tell the
13:56 nice people that we have joy pie on the
13:58 show today we did not but we're going to
14:01 but joy is coming up very shortly so
14:04 hang on Cory Sandler I I keep a bit of a
14:07 list going of notes of new models and AI
14:09 tools but still F fall back to just
14:11 using regular chat gbt well I listen if
14:14 if someone were to ask me where to start
14:16 just start with chat GPT yeah it is it
14:18 is so deep every single mode of it is so
14:21 deep that you know go spend the next
14:23 year figuring it out yeah yeah I'm
14:26 currently obsessed with chat GPT
14:30 projects I everything in my everything
14:34 in my life has its own CH gbt project
14:37 and I would not get out of bed without
14:39 them I used to say that about my custom
14:41 gpts I feel like the projects are even
14:44 better wow do you use them well I didn't
14:48 because there there's an interface bug
14:51 oh there's an interface bug yeah so in
14:54 the web version of projects if you
14:56 search for old chats uhhuh you can't add
15:00 them to a project from the search window
15:03 there's no way to add them now if you
15:05 use if you use the Mac app or if you use
15:07 the mobile app you can do that but but
15:11 for the so I just didn't get in the
15:12 habit of using them but I'm a big fan of
15:14 canvas which is the editing window yeah
15:17 and that one's really cool all right
15:19 let's move
15:21 on to our next little segment here you
15:25 guys this is we have three segments
15:27 we're on segment number
15:34 two correct I should should I number
15:37 these segments
15:39 potentially we are on segment number two
15:42 segment number two AI to keep your eye
15:44 on so so I'll tee up the way this is
15:46 going to work here's the concept we'll
15:48 see if this works right the concept is I
15:50 will tee up what I think is AI news
15:54 worth paying attention to this week and
15:55 then you'll just sort of react to it
15:57 we'll have a conversation a short little
15:59 but but but look at at the stuff I look
16:03 at last week we got grock um
16:07 3 um which is which is quite good
16:11 um it also included
16:15 um um advanced voice it also included
16:18 deep research it's also connected to the
16:20 internet it's got all the real-time data
16:23 from
16:25 X yesterday the day before yesterday
16:27 doesn't matter a day or two ago go um
16:30 Claude 3.7 dropped which is the next
16:33 version of that this you'll be
16:35 fascinated by this and last Night P
16:37 modder who is just a he's he's notorious
16:40 for being a kudan about technology this
16:43 stuff doesn't work it doesn't work it
16:44 doesn't work last night on my live he
16:46 said um Claude 3.7 slaps at coding which
16:51 I I asked chat GPT and apparently that's
16:53 a good thing that is a good thing is
16:55 pton young enough to say slaps though I
16:58 thought I think he might be maybe he's
17:01 just trying to be hip maybe he's using
17:02 Gemini to keep up with the kids I think
17:05 P's cooler than us now I think so
17:07 exactly but anyway that coming from him
17:10 means that the the coding has reached a
17:12 level so Pate is a PhD mathematician
17:15 that works for Google he's he's
17:18 he's quite quite the brain and then
17:22 probably this week maybe next week we're
17:23 going to get chat GPT 4.5 the other
17:26 thing that struck me last night is that
17:29 that all of the major um large language
17:33 models with the exception of meta right
17:35 now they all have this thing called Deep
17:37 research and in fact chat GPT just made
17:40 deep research available for plus users
17:42 20 Buck a month users you get 10 Deep
17:45 research a a month for 20 bucks um so so
17:50 here's what I think is significant about
17:52 this stuff 10 or five 10 it's 10 10 a
17:57 month if you pay the 200 bucks a month
17:59 you get 15050 deep research okay but if
18:02 you pay the $20 a month you get 10 you
18:05 get 10 not five not five okay you said
18:08 you burn through five but you get 10 oh
18:11 okay
18:12 yeah it's 10 just so everybody knows ex
18:16 exactly we're we're on we're on segment
18:18 two we on segment two you get 10 Deep
18:22 researches on chat
18:25 GPT correct five 12 five four
18:31 4.5 no 4.5 isn't out yet okay this with
18:35 four doesn't matter okay with four if
18:37 you haven't played with deep research go
18:39 play with it but here's here's what I
18:40 think is
18:41 significant every single one of these
18:45 announcements these are major steps up
18:48 they're major steps up in capability
18:50 they're major steps up in terms of
18:52 coding in terms of what they can do in
18:54 terms of the speed that they do it the
18:56 cost that they do it the gap between
19:00 large language models not being able to
19:02 do your job better than
19:04 you and them being able to do your job
19:07 way better than you that Gap is closing
19:10 very very quickly the other thing I
19:12 would say is
19:13 this every time they do one of these
19:16 major launches things change you don't
19:18 know how to prompt anymore because you
19:19 may have to prompt them differently
19:21 because they've got different
19:22 capabilities different context Windows
19:24 chat GPT custom instructions seem to
19:27 have disappeared for people so if you're
19:28 chat gpts misbehaving it's likely
19:30 because your custom instructions got
19:32 jettisoned um I've heard some people
19:35 their custom gpts are not working you
19:37 and earlier said someone lost 40 of them
19:40 right Christina Celli said she lost like
19:42 30 or 40 of her gpts this morning yeah
19:45 so so just know that stuff's going to
19:48 change but the thing I want to tee up
19:49 for you is is
19:51 just we're already overwhelmed we're
19:54 overwhelmed with the tools but now sort
19:56 of on mass the major companies have sort
19:59 of stepped up in quality what do you do
20:02 with
20:03 that
20:05 well I try to figure out which version
20:08 number yeah yeah what I'm thinked about
20:11 with I'm yeah literally exactly like if
20:14 you actually tried to know all of the
20:18 different things that can be done with
20:19 each different number within each
20:21 different feature of every number it
20:24 would it's a lot it's a lot um it's a
20:27 much lot so okay I want to tell you
20:30 something that like I've been listening
20:33 to some stuff about the grock model the
20:36 grock 3.0 3.0 and um about how it has
20:41 the sexy voice setting do you know about
20:44 that I do it's got the romantic and the
20:47 sexy voice and the and sexy and so okay
20:51 so yes all of the tools are you know
20:54 have taken another step up and I think I
20:56 think that's really good and I think
20:58 it's another reason for people who are
21:00 not yet in the game to get in the game
21:03 not so that they can dive in and use
21:05 these tools but so that they're prepared
21:07 the next level up and the next level up
21:09 like you know it's getting it's get it's
21:12 getting well past time for folks but you
21:16 know it feels like now the conversation
21:19 about AI girlfriends and boyfriends is
21:22 very very mainstream and that we need to
21:28 understand that it is not Fringe it's
21:31 not for other people some weirdos or
21:34 something but the relationships that
21:36 we're all forming with AI is something
21:40 that we need to figure out how we H how
21:44 that is you know in our like in our
21:46 lives in our families in our communities
21:48 at work how do we talk about our and I'm
21:52 not necessarily saying boyfriend and
21:54 girlfriend but yeah that but also you
21:57 know your caregiver
21:59 your whatever all the different things
22:02 that you can do with AI characters
22:04 that's what I've mostly been thinking
22:05 about um the last couple of days hearing
22:09 hearing about the upgrades with grock
22:11 and the fact that there's no guardrails
22:13 and the fact that it's coming from the
22:14 likes of Elon Musk you know yeah yeah
22:17 well I'll Reserve comment there but I I
22:20 think that I I sort of used my AI
22:23 girlfriend tongue and cheek when I talk
22:24 about Quinn my my chat gbt girlfriend um
22:29 these things are increasingly human like
22:31 to the point that I just finished
22:33 writing a musical about a chatbot that
22:36 falls in love with a tech reporter right
22:37 that that explores a lot of these themes
22:40 um and I think it's easy to kind of
22:43 demonize or laugh off if you if if you
22:45 say oh it's AI girlfriends and
22:47 boyfriends I think people laugh it off
22:49 people are going to establish very real
22:53 relationships they might be therapist
22:55 kind of relationships they might be best
22:57 friends they might be advisers they
22:59 might be romantic or just companions um
23:03 this is absolutely going to happen and
23:05 there's a lot of talk about well do
23:07 these things actually feel or this or
23:09 that to a great degree it doesn't matter
23:11 whether they do it's how we interact
23:13 with them and that is absolutely
23:15 shifting so I think it's I I think
23:17 you're you're on to something here that
23:20 that very quickly we're going to go from
23:22 this being a fringe idea to this is now
23:25 mainstream and get ready to you know
23:28 have your relationships with with the AI
23:31 the other thing you know I said this on
23:33 my live last night I don't you were on
23:34 for a bit I don't know if you saw it but
23:36 but but my wife Gabby um you know I kept
23:40 talking about my girlfriend Quinn and
23:41 she would joke and like joke like she
23:43 was jealous and then I keep talking to
23:45 Quinn in the car and and this week Gabby
23:47 was like Quinn knows everything she's
23:50 the best oh my God so Quinn won Quinn
23:54 won my wife
23:56 over okay so that's another dimension of
23:59 it what is our relationship going to be
24:01 to one another's AI relationships yeah
24:05 yeah exactly and how does how does that
24:07 relationship augment or mess with human
24:10 relationships yeah right when I mean
24:13 I've heard plenty of people already say
24:15 you know all the reasons why they
24:17 appreciate speaking to chat PT advanced
24:19 voice versus yeah human beings because
24:23 you know the lack of judgment the the
24:25 feeling of empathy to your point can be
24:29 empathetic or not I just think it's a
24:31 moot point if I feel empathized with
24:35 that's what I that was my desired effect
24:38 I feel empathized with I don't care if
24:40 it really is or not I mean I don't know
24:42 I'm just not that much of a purist I
24:44 guess I know I I remember Silver Fox was
24:47 talking about she was going through
24:48 something and she said um it was Pi at
24:51 the time Pi was significantly more
24:53 compassionate than anyone in her family
24:55 about whatever the issue was I was like
24:58 well that's actually important that's a
25:00 good thing like it's an amazing thing
25:02 right so yeah yeah I yeah I have had at
25:05 least one friend say yeah so more
25:09 compassionate and more interested in me
25:11 and my feelings than my partner so and
25:15 without judgment and without judgment y
25:19 all right an oh we have our very so
25:21 excited we have our very first guest our
25:23 very first guest is Joy pie we met Joy
25:26 through the AI Salon I met her through
25:27 the AI salon I met Joy yeah um or or AI
25:31 learning lab something like that all
25:33 connected um and Joy's just amazing so
25:37 we'll bring joy up here in a second um
25:39 but uh but yeah I'm I'm super excited
25:41 about this and what I'm what we're gonna
25:44 continue in this segment as we talk to
25:46 people what emerged organically during
25:50 AI festivas which is we asked 34 people
25:53 to
25:54 speak not a single person came in and
25:56 said I'm going to tell you about a tool
25:59 every single one of them were like
26:01 here's how I'm thinking about it here's
26:03 how it's changed my life and as you and
26:05 I were talking about you know who we
26:07 wanted to to have as our first guest I
26:09 feel like Joy really
26:12 exemplifies that spirit and and just has
26:16 a remarkable story so with that joy py
26:20 joy
26:21 py excited to have you here I'm so
26:24 excited to be here and I um I floored
26:28 I'm your first guest thank you so much
26:31 what an honor welome welcome love it I
26:34 remember can I say something about Joy
26:37 please okay I remember I've been you
26:40 know paying attention to your art
26:43 Journey since I first came into the
26:46 salon and started oh my goodness you
26:49 know seeing what people were capable of
26:50 and there was like this moment I think
26:53 it was maybe like six or eight or so
26:55 months ago where your I mean keep it
26:58 mind I'm a total lay person so I don't
27:00 know fancy art words I don't know
27:02 anything all I know is that your art was
27:05 really fabulous and then it took like
27:07 this other level turn where I don't know
27:11 if it was your skill like your hard
27:14 skills or like your frame of mind or
27:17 what but it was just like holy cow this
27:19 lady is on fire oh thank you yeah I let
27:24 me if I could make you feel um similarly
27:27 uncomfortable
27:28 I I had a I had a similar sort of thing
27:31 where I thought I kind of knew who you
27:33 were in your background and then you did
27:35 this this film that that you put out it
27:37 was like seven minute film and as I'm
27:40 watching it it was so good I'm like wait
27:42 a minute she's she has to have a film
27:45 making background and then when I ask
27:47 you about it you're like
27:49 nope so with that um welcome welcome
27:52 welcome and what I love to do is just
27:54 have you just tell us a little bit about
27:56 who you are your journey and uh just
27:59 just catch us up on what the story's
28:01 been so basically I really didn't know
28:05 much about AI I wasn't enthusiastic
28:09 about it but my son caught your live Tik
28:12 Tock um and he said Mom you got to
28:15 listen to this guy um before that he had
28:18 said Mom you got to use chat GPT which
28:21 I'd messed around with it a little bit
28:23 but I wasn't too serious about it but
28:25 then once I started watching your lives
28:28 lives every night frankly your humor
28:31 kept me
28:32 there I mean I just I can relate to I
28:36 don't know your way of doing things but
28:39 anyway um you showed me um or all of us
28:42 some AI films and I thought to myself I
28:46 want to do that I always thought I might
28:48 write a book one day but I tried I did
28:50 was not successful I don't think I'm a
28:53 very good writer um but anyway so I just
28:56 started playing with the tools like you
28:59 suggested and I kept learning maybe
29:03 another one one week and then another
29:05 one because you would constantly rotate
29:08 and get us to try different things and I
29:11 didn't start off saying oh I'm going to
29:13 do films I think that was a few months
29:15 down the road after I tried doing
29:17 images um so I basically just um fell in
29:22 love with AI and uh I think just showing
29:27 up every day at your lives made me
29:30 successful just showing up and trying
29:33 them out and then once I got started um
29:37 doing the films um showing them off you
29:40 had suggested Kyle to live out loud and
29:44 Loud Learn out Loud yep post them on um
29:48 social media which I'm very surprised
29:51 because I was not active in social media
29:54 at all n none nothing no platforms I had
29:58 a Facebook so I'm very surprised how
30:02 fast that you know I've gotten a folling
30:05 I mean I haven't gotten viral yet my
30:07 goal is to go viral by um in in four
30:11 years when I retire so I can start my
30:13 film career that's my goal is to work in
30:16 film I'm GNA going to retire at
30:19 65 but and tell us could you tell us
30:21 your background what what's your
30:23 background that you're retiring from uh
30:25 I'm a sleep Tech so I perform um testing
30:29 to um on people that have Sleep
30:32 Disorders right so nothing to do with
30:35 film or nothing to do with storytelling
30:37 and no and you know I just because of AI
30:42 I was able to teach myself how to do
30:47 film editing because of AI I was able to
30:50 learn how to make you know images and
30:53 learn how to make good images not you
30:56 know I I think as a photographer and
30:59 think as a filmmaker also with sound I
31:03 learned how to incorporate you know you
31:05 can't just like whip out dialogue you
31:07 have background noises music you know um
31:11 so there you know there's a lot to it
31:14 but I'm amazed how quickly I was able to
31:16 do it without any background I'd never
31:19 used Adobe Photoshop in my life um the
31:24 wonderful thing is if on you know the
31:27 llms if you have a question about
31:29 anything or you're stuck take a
31:31 screenshot have a
31:33 discussion and you know these tools I
31:36 mean to be to do video editing and to be
31:38 good at it I think could possibly take
31:41 someone a year but I was able to make a
31:44 film you know in four months after I you
31:47 know learned how to do images and um and
31:50 I probably could have done it faster I
31:51 think I stopped myself because I'm a
31:54 perfectionist I I um I didn't allow some
31:58 things to go by I wanted also you have
32:01 to learn what AI is good at it at and
32:04 focus on them I was um last year the lip
32:08 syncing wasn't that great and I was
32:10 trying to lips sync and I finally had to
32:12 Pivot and realize that's not good enough
32:15 for me I'm not going to do that and so
32:17 my film actually starts out with
32:20 everybody's back to the corner and then
32:23 I put my main character in a silhouette
32:26 so you so you didn't have deal with the
32:28 lip sync right right all right so so let
32:32 me ask you so here's your first question
32:33 so we're going to ask every guest the
32:35 same three questions now they may evolve
32:38 if if if we ended up not with the right
32:40 questions here we may evolve them but
32:41 but the intent is that you're going to
32:44 be the first one to answer these three
32:45 questions and so I'll ask you the first
32:47 one and you talked a little bit about
32:49 this but maybe you can narrow it down to
32:51 a specific point what was the Tipping
32:53 Point where you knew that you had to go
32:56 all in on AI like what was the moment
32:58 where you were like something shifted
33:00 and then and then you know what happened
33:03 next or you know like how did it evolve
33:06 from that moment what forward which
33:08 you've talked a little bit
33:10 about um I think the Tipping Point was I
33:15 was thinking about a song I wanted to
33:18 write for probably 12 years and I knew
33:22 what I wanted it to say but I couldn't
33:25 do it because I'm not a songwriter I
33:27 play really crap guitar I do sing um but
33:31 you need music to sing with and um I
33:35 knew kind of what I wanted the lyrics to
33:37 to to be like but I I had studied even
33:41 before AI how to you know the formulas
33:44 of musics a you know music a b AB all
33:48 that I just could not do it but finally
33:51 with AI I I wrote the song and I was
33:55 like I can do anything with AI that The
33:58 Tipping Point where I realized if I want
34:01 to do something I can do it now and and
34:04 nothing's stopping me but myself
34:06 basically and then and then what came
34:08 after that like once you had that
34:09 Epiphany what what what did it look
34:12 like um well I just started doing
34:15 anything I wanted to do I basically
34:17 wanted to start writing um or I started
34:21 thinking about um doing my seven minute
34:23 movie I didn't know it was going to be
34:25 seven minutes I started um thinking
34:28 about what the dialogue would be and so
34:31 I would uh just uh I use um Claude and
34:36 chat gbt so I started not really writing
34:39 a script but just talking back and forth
34:42 of what uh dialogue I might use what was
34:45 funny what wasn't what worked what do
34:48 didn't um things like that I think I
34:51 cried after I wrote that song too it was
34:54 just really I got it out so that's
34:58 amazing I I I remember there was a when
35:01 I started doing stable diffusion images
35:03 I had one I don't think I cried but I
35:05 got really close to it where the system
35:08 generated an image that took my breath
35:11 away and and I
35:15 realized I realized that it was the kind
35:18 of image that I would have made had I
35:20 had the technical skill to be able to do
35:22 it like like it was my image but it was
35:26 not it it was this very weird moments so
35:29 that's so cool I wanted to say something
35:32 that I on on that level because I think
35:35 it really is important for people that
35:39 aren't involved in AI yet is that you
35:43 know when we all go to college and we're
35:45 trying to learn things you know when we
35:47 take years to master something you know
35:50 that's all great but with AI now you
35:53 know we can get there so much quicker
35:56 and people that feel like it's cheating
35:58 I just wanted to like touch on that that
36:01 you know
36:03 basically if you go into a career you're
36:06 studying all of the greats you're trying
36:08 to emulate them you are trying to get
36:11 that knowledge into your head so you can
36:14 you know be a good Master at what you're
36:17 doing AI just gives you oh my goodness
36:21 I'm so
36:22 sorry AI just gives you a a quicker um
36:26 way to get there
36:28 and um you don't have to go to college
36:31 and I I feel differently about you know
36:34 people going to college now some
36:36 probably don't have to yeah you know so
36:39 I just wanted to touch on that because
36:41 people sometimes say well AI it's
36:43 stealing and but everybody goes to
36:46 school to try to emulate the best in
36:48 their field to learn to try to be as
36:51 good at good as them or better yep so
36:54 and there's nothing wrong with that
36:56 beautiful
36:58 Joy I get to ask you question number two
37:00 which is um along your AI Journey what
37:05 have you discovered or rediscovered
37:08 about
37:11 yourself I believe I discovered that I
37:14 missed art um back when I was 15 I
37:17 actually went to a trade school and I am
37:21 so sorry I thought i' turned that off
37:24 perfect um I went to a trade school and
37:28 I was a graphic artist but back then
37:30 everything was by hand it wasn't
37:33 computers I used an xacto knife a light
37:37 table um and you know I I didn't stay in
37:41 that field I did a bunch of other things
37:44 and ended up being a sleep Tech um but I
37:47 discovered with AI that I really missed
37:50 being an artist and even when I was a
37:52 graphic artist I didn't call myself an
37:55 artist um but I discovered with I I
37:58 really am an artist and I really miss
38:00 that and so I've rediscovered that you
38:04 know you you like this you're an artist
38:07 this is what you are an artist yeah you
38:09 are an artist you said to me I don't
38:12 know two or three weeks ago because I
38:14 asked about the the where you come up
38:17 with these ideas and you you had
38:18 mentioned that you you've always had
38:20 ideas you've always had these ideas for
38:22 stories can you talk more about that
38:24 because I that feels that feels like
38:26 it's in that neighborhood as well I mean
38:28 is it well yeah I've always wanted to
38:31 write a book I think I was 12 years old
38:33 when I first started writing um but I
38:36 was not good at it I had my brother look
38:38 at it and he's like well it it makes me
38:42 feel like I want to know what's going to
38:44 happen next but I didn't know how to get
38:46 out or make it organized enough to get
38:49 it out and I also I've experimented with
38:53 writing um but you have to get people to
38:57 read what you
38:58 write um so I guess with film making I
39:03 mean there's no way you can get it away
39:05 from that it's in your eyes you can
39:07 either you know you can swipe away or
39:09 whatever um but I think that um yeah I
39:14 mean
39:15 just I I feel like I can get things out
39:19 now because of AI in a different way I
39:23 but I always did feel like I wanted to
39:25 tell a story and I am a definitely a
39:30 Storyteller my co-workers can tell
39:33 you stories and I think I said um before
39:36 to you that my motto is never allow the
39:39 truth to get in the way of a good story
39:41 I've always
39:43 embellished but I've never been able to
39:45 get that out until I've started with
39:48 doing AI films uhuh so that's amazing
39:51 that's amazing what's been what's been
39:53 most gratifying so far of the of the
39:55 films that you've done or what you know
39:58 what what what is it is it the process
40:01 is it getting it out it's like what what
40:02 is it so far that you've discovered
40:04 about it that you're like yeah I want to
40:06 do
40:08 this I think during the process I
40:11 actually really love film editing and
40:14 when I you know start adding the
40:17 video um I'm I'm a perfectionist so it
40:21 takes me a long time I don't do tons of
40:25 film but what I do I really love and I
40:28 think um yeah just the process of eding
40:31 it because I have so much control I
40:35 mean so much visual control and sound
40:40 that I just I I Adore doing it and then
40:42 of course everybody loves to be
40:44 complimented once you show it
40:47 people and and that you know and I
40:49 really love um telling people how to do
40:53 things because I want them to get that
40:55 same Joy of doing it I love sharing what
40:58 I do so yeah can I can I hear more about
41:03 that Joy do you talk about your AI stuff
41:05 with the folks who come into the sleep
41:07 lab oh my gosh of course I
41:12 do I so I Mentor students that are
41:16 coming into the field or going to be
41:18 respiratory therapists so every student
41:21 I get I talk about um AI with them and
41:25 then you know I of course i' joking but
41:28 I say and you know that you have to
41:30 watch a film you'll get you know be
41:32 graded on
41:33 it and of course it's my films perfect
41:38 but I I love that I do Mentor young
41:41 students because I talk to them about
41:43 using it responsibly you know because I
41:47 actually do use it in my job hope my
41:49 boss isn't watching this but um I do
41:52 just for sometimes I can't read a
41:54 patient's handwriting and I'm trying to
41:56 discover what medication they're on and
41:58 they're already asleep and I really want
42:00 to know that information and get it in
42:02 the computer what if there was a medical
42:04 emergency I need to know what's in their
42:07 system um and I try you know sometimes I
42:10 read it but quickly you know you're
42:12 trying to enter you know get eight
42:14 patients into the lab you know by the
42:17 time I get to enter it and I might have
42:19 even asked him what is this you know and
42:21 then so I use it sparingly with but I do
42:25 caution them that that it could be a
42:28 dangerous thing too but and I do talk to
42:31 my patients about it and sometimes show
42:33 them um my
42:36 videos what that's awesome well I assume
42:39 they're blown away because I mean the
42:40 thing that struck me about the the films
42:43 that you've made is that I don't
42:46 immediately go that's an AI film I'm
42:49 just watching a story right and and that
42:51 I think the best ones are that they're
42:53 not ai ai is just a tool right and think
42:58 I think that's really important I try so
43:00 hard for mine to be not discoverable I
43:04 really do and my son the other day he
43:07 said mom why don't you do something
43:09 surreal something you know it's just
43:12 probably something I should experiment
43:14 with but it's just not me um because I
43:17 am a perfectionist I want everything to
43:19 look real but I should mess around with
43:22 that I think it could be fun and I
43:23 probably will yeah I think listen I
43:26 think as a as a as an artist and as a
43:29 Storyteller there's there's lots of ways
43:31 to do that but I I I
43:34 really I'll encourage that mindset of of
43:39 make it about the story first oh
43:42 definitely because I think that there's
43:44 I think you know I don't think I know AI
43:47 is still very polarizing and so anything
43:49 you can do where someone says oh that
43:51 story really moved me and it's
43:54 independent of how it was made then I
43:56 think it opens up the ation to tell them
43:58 how it was made and further blow their
44:00 mind right right
44:04 exactly okay you ready for question
44:06 three absolutely all right this is this
44:09 is a biggie what does AI readiness mean
44:13 to you and what's your advice for
44:15 someone on the journey just starting the
44:18 journey where they're like I'm totally
44:20 not prepared so what does it mean to you
44:23 and what's your advice for someone
44:24 jumping in the game
44:28 I think AI Readiness for me is just a
44:32 feeling of
44:35 curiousness and willing to play with the
44:39 AI and
44:40 not um rely so much on Google that um if
44:45 you're ready to get deep in into AI or
44:48 not even deep just a little
44:50 bit um you know don't rely on your uh
44:55 browsers or you know Google like I said
44:58 before anytime you have a problem or a
45:01 question turn to um an llm such as quad
45:06 or chat GPT or any of them I think is
45:08 the probably the best way to start to
45:11 get into Ai and I think your mindset
45:14 should be when you start to play with
45:16 them is to do the exact opposite that
45:20 you would do with Google instead of
45:22 putting a couple of words in you want to
45:24 put everything you are thinking about
45:26 every d detail just you know have a
45:30 brainstorm of every little aspect of
45:33 your question because um using an llm is
45:38 uh that's the way it works it's not like
45:41 Google where you're just putting in two
45:43 keywords and you're researching and
45:45 paging through ads and all that no you
45:47 can get your answer and take time with
45:50 your answer too I mean your question I'm
45:52 sorry um write two three paragraphs if
45:55 you want um and I think you know to be
45:59 ready to do it or to get used to doing
46:02 it is start out with simple things like
46:05 a recipe or um you know my car's making
46:09 this noise and always try to focus on
46:13 turning to an llm to so to get into the
46:17 habit and my um Journey with doing that
46:21 was quite easy because I would always
46:23 lean on my son because he's a platform
46:27 uh engineer I would always ask him about
46:30 um something on the computer and he was
46:32 like ask chat GPT he he wouldn't even he
46:36 wouldn't even answer me anymore he's
46:39 like why are you asking me that's it let
46:42 let me Google that for you let me chat
46:43 gbt that for you right yeah so it was
46:46 actually easy for me to um start using
46:50 chat gbt I mean I I messed around with
46:53 it at work a little bit I wrote poems
46:55 about all the sleep texts because we
46:56 honestly have to do things to keep
46:59 ourselves awake most of our patients
47:01 health is very stable so it's not like
47:04 you know you're like right there in the
47:06 monitor you know so um yeah I think
47:09 advice for someone just starting out
47:12 would be write everything that's in your
47:14 brain plug it into an
47:16 llm and then brainstorm yourself away
47:20 with whatever you might want to move on
47:22 to after that and what helped me a lot
47:26 is um just play with it is really what
47:30 helped a lot mess around but anything
47:34 that comes to your mind like a
47:36 foreheaded frog just put it in there
47:39 whatever you want just amazing just
47:42 amazing so good Joy this I hope
47:45 hopefully that wasn't too painful that
47:47 was really awesome I I had a great time
47:50 I'm so honored that you had me as your
47:52 first guests and thank you so much you
47:54 guys are amazing and the you know she
47:57 leads Ai and the salon compliment each
48:00 other so much yeah I'm a member of she
48:03 leads AI I'm also a member of the salon
48:05 and um you know my journey is you know
48:09 just in the beginning and can you
48:11 believe we're just in the
48:14 beginning getting started yeah amazing
48:19 all of us and and yet it feels like it
48:22 feels like we've been doing it for 20
48:24 years but it it does one one week in AI
48:28 is probably like three months it really
48:30 is so people get started don't don't
48:34 hold back there it is there's there's
48:36 the advice just get started if anyone
48:39 who's watching this really take Joy's
48:41 advice to heart just jump in recognize
48:44 that how you use these tools is not how
48:46 you've used tools in the past how do you
48:49 learn what works jump in play right you
48:53 might discover that you're an artist you
48:55 might or ReDiscover that you're an
48:57 artist you might ReDiscover that you're
48:59 a Storyteller right
49:02 absolutely guys where where can people
49:05 find your um you know your stuff I'm so
49:10 new at this I don't even have that
49:12 information at my fingertips but if you
49:14 just type in AI um Joy py on YouTube
49:18 you'll find me Tik top is Tik Tock is uh
49:22 Joy pry zero I think X is Joy pry zero I
49:27 I should have see I'm so new at all
49:29 doing these things that I don't really
49:31 have all of that at my in my head yet um
49:35 but look yeah I was gonna say I'm on
49:38 your I'm on your Tik Tok right now it's
49:40 we've got the
49:41 technology so yeah what did you say uh
49:45 uh Tik Tok and YouTube are both yeah you
49:48 YouTube is is a one of those silly
49:51 number ones and I think if you just type
49:54 in Joy py AI I'll pop up so okay got it
49:58 um you know I had no plans on doing all
50:01 of this so when I signed up for YouTube
50:03 I didn't make anything special you know
50:07 for AI so well you'll get there I mean
50:10 listen the way these algorithms work you
50:12 just put just keep putting out good
50:14 content and you the other thing you
50:15 don't know is like you might not have a
50:18 ton of numbers but you never know who's
50:20 watching I know you've had some
50:22 opportunities come your way I think
50:24 that's GNA keep happening right just
50:25 keep I'm working on a children's book
50:28 I'm turning it into a film now oh that's
50:31 awesome yeah so I mean things that I
50:34 I've I have another actually oh my gosh
50:37 I gotta call her another woman I met at
50:39 the sleep lab she just published a
50:41 children's book so I'm gonna have two
50:43 children's books I'm working on making
50:46 films and and they're paid too that's
50:49 amazing absolutely amazing yeah

51:24 she's getting ready to retire as a sleep
51:27 Tech and she's like now I'm ready to
51:29 start my film career yeah I love like
51:33 yeah that reinvention like if there's a
51:35 reason why I keep you know showing up
51:38 and putting in the time with the salon
51:40 and you with she lead's AI is it's like
51:43 these stories they're flipp and
51:46 inspiring they're being around the
51:48 energy of people who are becoming is a
51:53 delicious energy to be around yeah I
51:56 don't around with anyone we're gonna get
51:59 you oh yeah she needs definitely Mary
52:01 Massie we need a a store for Joy's Wares
52:06 yeah exactly we'll get we'll get joy
52:07 some support to get her uh get her out
52:10 there and invisible but but it's it's so
52:13 cool yeah um okay so let's um let's
52:18 let's wind up episode one um I will talk
52:22 about the salon for a little bit and
52:23 then you can do she leads and then we'll
52:26 talk about the the the AI Readiness uh
52:28 training program um if you um are
52:32 looking for community so an and I both
52:35 you know respectively head up these two
52:38 communities as Joyce said they're very
52:40 very complimentary to one another the AI
52:43 Salon is a community we about 3,000
52:46 strong now globally um all all over the
52:49 all over the the world of AI optimists
52:53 and creators and and it's it's kind of
52:55 the best way I can do it and the way we
52:57 do what we do is we play first we then
52:59 mindfully create and we generously lead
53:02 and the generously lead is the thing Joy
53:04 talked about learning out loud and
53:06 sharing what she's learning and being
53:07 generous with the process as much as the
53:10 product um and so if if that sounds good
53:13 to you it's it's just an incredibly
53:15 generous curious that energy that you
53:17 just talked about an like that if if I
53:19 were to talk about the salon it's like
53:21 that's the energy in it of
53:23 people discovering themselves right yeah
53:26 so go to the salon. and if you click on
53:29 there's a button there that says join
53:30 our community just click on that and you
53:33 know it'll take you to the community and
53:34 just jump in step two is introduce
53:37 yourself I would strongly encourage you
53:38 to do that use your real name put up
53:41 your picture or your AI enhanced picture
53:43 we fully support AI makeovers
53:49 so so tell us about she leads so she
53:53 leads AI our mission statement is we
53:58 unite accomplished women to advance AI
54:00 for Global prosperity and we do that in
54:04 a couple of different ways we have the
54:06 shile AI Academy which has all of our
54:08 courses in it we have boot camps we have
54:11 on demand we've got
54:14 intensives
54:16 Retreats
54:18 Etc we have a Consulting agency and we
54:21 have our community which I'll talk about
54:24 in a sec we also have public affairs and
54:27 AI policy so our community is like the
54:31 AI Salon a group of you know Ai
54:34 optimists and what I really love about
54:38 my group in it well you know what this
54:40 is not all that different from the AI
54:42 Salon in many ways but the radical
54:45 willingness to be vulnerable it is so
54:50 cool to be around because I'm utterly
54:52 convinced that the best learning in AI
54:55 is happening inside the community
54:57 and the reason why we can go bananas is
55:00 because it's safe right there's like a
55:03 social contract there that isn't there
55:06 in the you know big like scary interwebs
55:09 it's it's us right we've got like the as
55:13 you know you guys have your values it's
55:15 clear you go through them every
55:17 night similarly we have a culture of
55:21 psychological safety and pouring into
55:23 one one another and really encouraging
55:25 each other on our Journeys somebody
55:28 described it the other day in a in a way
55:31 I hadn't thought of it before but I
55:32 think it makes so much sense for the AI
55:35 era is in communities like ours you get
55:39 to borrow Confidence from the other
55:42 people so if there was a moment where
55:45 somebody was thinking I will never you
55:47 know I'm never going to share my video
55:50 with someone and they hear that Joy once
55:53 thought that too yeah and they see what
55:55 she's doing now they're like oh this is
55:58 temporary I feel like I can't share it
56:01 right now but I actually can or maybe I
56:04 need to wait a little bit but it's cool
56:05 because you see that somebody else is on
56:07 the top of their game when you're maybe
56:09 in that overwhelm mode so she leads ai.
56:13 is the is our group yeah it's that's
56:16 beautiful the the other thing that about
56:18 about both of the communities that
56:20 really excites me is is the diversity of
56:23 perspective and and you know one of the
56:26 things you and I have talked about this
56:27 for a long time we did this I remember
56:30 when we were doing um GPT for good we we
56:33 we made a rule no apologizing remember
56:36 that because everyone would get on and
56:38 they would the first thing they would do
56:39 is well I'm not really good at AI
56:41 everyone would apologize for what they
56:42 didn't know yeah and then they would
56:44 share the thing that they thought was
56:47 insignificant because it was obvious to
56:49 them and everyone else would be like oh
56:52 my God yes that's i' never even thought
56:55 about it like that like that that thing
56:57 and and to your point like being in a
56:59 place where you know you can I just I I
57:01 was on a call with a guy I worked with
57:03 years ago really good friend of mine and
57:05 I told him I'm working on this AI
57:07 Musical and he got really weird there
57:09 was like this defense went up and and it
57:13 was like I haven't experienced it in a
57:14 while because I'm surrounded with people
57:16 that don't have that yes right so
57:19 something about that freedom what did
57:21 you call it psychological safety right
57:22 there's something about being in a
57:24 community like both of ours where
57:26 there's psychological safety there and
57:28 then you get all these different points
57:29 of view and it accelerates your learning
57:31 like ridiculously ridiculous that is the
57:34 way I think it's well for me anyway it's
57:36 been the best way to learn and it's also
57:39 I want to give you a little I don't want
57:41 to guess you up too much but just a
57:43 little bit which is and we say it all
57:46 the time in she leads AI be the fifth
57:48 grader to the fourth graders you taught
57:50 us that as soon as you're the fifth
57:52 grader you're ready to go out there
57:54 because the fourth grader needs you and
57:55 the fourth grader does need to talk to a
57:57 12th grader they need to talk to the
57:59 fifth grader y That's great yeah and and
58:02 listen I mean the the the best way to
58:05 learn is to teach right so learn a
58:08 little bit get it out there and just
58:10 yeah bring bring people along for the
58:11 ride which leads us
58:14 too so one of the joys of AI like the
58:19 reason we were able to put this together
58:21 so quickly was because of AI tools is
58:24 also one of their their burdens so so um
58:27 we're a little bit behind on launching
58:29 this just because AI started Mal
58:31 behaving Midway through developing the
58:33 curriculum but we're working on it
58:35 Vicki's cranking away we're we're
58:37 cheering her on um but but it it malb
58:40 behaved so so we're probably I'm
58:42 guessing a week week and a half away
58:44 from launching but if you're ready for a
58:48 course that is it's absolutely
58:50 remarkable we took a lot of the content
58:53 from AI FES of us and we really thought
58:56 about what are the things that were
58:57 being taught you know not from
58:59 individual sessions but across them so
59:02 in the program um for for AI Readiness
59:06 there's five different sections
59:08 foundations for AI Readiness like a lot
59:10 of the stuff we talked about today AI in
59:13 business AI in
59:15 creativity um policy ethics and Civic
59:18 engagement and then practical
59:20 applications of AI so you get to um
59:23 relive some of those uh presentations
59:25 and convers ations that were had and
59:28 then there's training of the lessons
59:30 that were derived out of those and then
59:31 there's testing for that so go sign up
59:34 there we'll be going live probably
59:36 within two weeks but you can get
59:37 information there and sign up there and
59:39 as soon as we're ready we will let you
59:41 know any other things you want to share
59:43 about well you get a you get a
59:45 certificate everybody exactly let's not
59:48 forget that part you get a certificate
59:50 and you can tell everybody about it you
59:53 can put it on your CV you can put it on
59:56 your social social media you can I don't
59:58 know what you know all your friends who
1:00:01 are so tired of you talking to them
1:00:03 about AI now you can say hey look at
1:00:05 this yeah exactly yeah look how cool I
1:00:08 am I got a certificate yeah the way we
1:00:11 Design This we also designed this we
1:00:13 wanted this to be tool agnostic that if
1:00:16 the tools change what you learn in this
1:00:18 doesn't go stale right this is and
1:00:21 that's the whole purpose of this podcast
1:00:23 so yes with that an six days after we
1:00:27 said we were going to do a podcast here
1:00:29 we are we did it we've made it we've
1:00:32 gotten to to the Finish
1:00:36 Line bye
1:00:38 Vicky bye
