Alex Singla, a senior partner and global leader of QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, said that conversations with CEOs have shifted over the past several weeks. Gone are the requests for explanations of how the technology works — and whether it’s over-hyped. Now, Singla says, five questions dominate: What are the specific use cases? How do I get started? What are the risks I need to manage? What are the implications for present and future employees? How do I learn fast?

Innovations in electricity and personal computers unleashed investment booms of as much as 2% of U.S. GDP as the technologies were adopted into the broader economy. Now, investment in artificial intelligence (https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/artificial-intelligence/index.html)is ramping up quickly and could eventually have an even bigger impact on GDP, according to Goldman Sachs Economics Research.  https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/ai-investment-forecast-to-approach-200-billion-globally-by-2025.html?utm_source=www.joinsuperhuman.ai&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=why-be-real-when-it-s-fun-to-be-fake

"60% of today’s workers are employed in occupations that didn’t exist in 1940. This implies that more than 85% of employment growth over the last 80 years is explained by the technology-driven creation of new positions, our economists write."

It is important for talent and learning and development leaders to invest in helping their employees access and utilize technology.

As many companies are designing Mid-manager Development Programs, I invited about ten companies to participate in a roundtable discussion to community-source best practices. In the roundtable, we are particularly interested in gathering insights and best practices that have successfully developed mid-managers with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive in today's rapidly changing business landscape. Fostering their growth and equipping the middle with the right tools is essential. Today most Mid-manager Development Programs do not include AI, data fluency, and other in-demand skills identified by Resources here in THE THINKING EFFECT. I thought I would share these AI Implementation Tips from Josh Cavalier. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When implementing AI, middle managers should consider the following: REVIEW GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY POLICIES AROUND AI FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION: BUILD AI LITERACY: IDENTIFY YOUR DEPARTMENT AI STRATEGY: IDENTIFY YOUR WORKFLOWS TACTICS: BUILD AN EVERGREEN PROMPT LIBRARY: Source: Josh Cavalier
