Today on Inland Journal:
We meet a Spokane man who, a few years ago, made a career shift. He left Verizon, where he’d worked a sales job for 20 years, to do an intensive study of artificial intelligence. Now he’s fully immersed in it, in all parts of his life. We talk with Paul Takisaki about the role of AI in his and his family’s lives and what he thinks about its future.
"I started to realize very quickly, every institution will be affected by this and it will be the biggest consulting opportunity that has ever existed. That was just my feeling on it. Now, I felt a little bit like we were cavemen playing with fire right next to our village and maybe we didn't know what we were doing, but it's matured a lot since then."
We meet Dr. Gleb Tsipursky to talk about how businesses should implement A-I at the workplace. Tsipursky is a professor at The Ohio State University and head of a company that focuses on the future of work. He’s written a new book about how to help employees overcome their resistance to AI and make it work to their advantage.
"The source of resistance comes because people are not excited about using AI tools. There was a recent peer research survey showing that something like 52% of respondents are more anxious than excited about AI tools. Only 9% of respondents are more excited than anxious. Guess which camp the executives fall into and which camp employees fall into?"
