First question to ask when using AI

“I’ve started using AI (Artificial Intelligence) to edit my book.” shared a coaching client, “I had a brain injury and sometimes my words get jumbled.”

 AI is everywhere right now. I received at least 5 emails in the past week talking about it. In actuality, AI has been around since the 1950s’ but as it’s sophistication grows, AI is taking root in every sector.  Put very simply, AI is a computer’s ability to think like a human.

 Let me say that again, a computer that can think like a human.

 What previously was used primarily by a few, is now more widely available to all. Grant writers. College students. College Professors. Hiring Mangers. Content Creators. Writers.

 As we move through this new era, the first question we need must ask ourselves when using AI is, “What is my purpose?”

 Understanding your purpose is fundamental to beginning the AI process. Your purpose is your understanding of why you are doing something. What is your intention in using AI?

 For my client, her purpose was clear, it’s a supportive tool.

 When you are using AI, is your purpose just as clear?

 If not, pause and ask yourself “what is my purpose?”
