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 50:52 congratulations conrat fun amazing I 50:56 love it thank you for having me so much 50:59 thank you for being here Joy thanks for 51:01 and I think that Joy pry it's zero and 51:03 not a o yeah party 51:07 zero all right thank you so much do you 51:10 have to kick me out I got 51:13 you wow that was amazing wow that was so 51:17 good that's so cool about the children's 51:19 books movies and they're paid gigs and 51:22 it's you know and it's like you know 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 1:00:40 Vicky oh man by every bye Mary oh 1:00:46 Mary all right everybody thank you so 1:00:49 much bye and thank you this was awesome 1:00:51 bye you're 1:00:53 amazing same
