Due to the recent rise of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, in the past year or so, I have not only published two books on AI business management book, and often have the opportunity to hold AI courses and related lectures in public sectors, enterprises and universities. Not only am I happy to share various information and applications about AI with you, I am also concerned about your various views and needs on AI.

This afternoon, I happened to be chatting with a friend about a related topic. I casually asked this friend, what do you want to use AI for? He told me that he wanted to learn the skills of AI presentation making first. This answer surprised me a little. To be honest, the skills of making AI presentations are indeed very practical, but there are so many AI applications in the world, why would this friend want to learn AI presentations first?

Is it because using AI to create briefings is cool? Or is it because it saves a lot of time?

In this era where everything can be AI-enabled, learning AI has become a new battle hymn for professionals in the workplace. However, the real challenge is not how to catch up with technology, but how to find yourself in this vast digital wave, and use the right mentality and methods to transform AI technology into a powerful driving force for career advancement.

Starting point: Self-reflection and clarifying existing skill library

Every journey begins with the recognition of one’s own position. In the field of AI, this means starting with a deep self-reflection to understand your professional skills and personal strengths. As those who have crossed over to the AI ​​field have experienced, existing skills have not become useless, but have become a solid foundation for entering new fields. For example, a [product manager] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWaXLk83Od0) who has rich experience in interpersonal communication and writing, whose ability is particularly important when interacting with AI - knowing how to use clear and logical communication and expression skills is the key to success in being able to give orders to AI tools.

Transformation: Recreation and improvement of skills

After confirming the skills you possess, the next step is to think about how to transform and improve these skills to adapt them to the needs of the AI era. This is not only about learning technology, but also about how to integrate these technologies into our work and life to create new value. For example, it is not just about learning to use AI tools to improve work efficiency, but more importantly, understanding the working principles behind these tools and how they can be used to solve practical problems.

Practice: Continuous Learning and Innovative Application

In this process, continuous learning has become an essential task. This includes not only keeping up with the latest AI trends and technologies, but also continuously practicing and applying the knowledge learned. Using AI tools such as ChatGPT or Midjourney for practical operations can not only deepen your understanding of the functions of these tools, but also inspire more innovative ways of using them.

As the example mentioned earlier, if you learn AI Briefing Production just to show off your skills, save time or increase chat topics with friends and colleagues, of course it is okay, but if it is only based on such considerations, it will be a pity. The applications of AI are quite diverse. In addition to saving time or improving work efficiency, it should also provide us with unprecedented insights and innovation opportunities.

Conclusion: Understanding the true meaning of the AI era

Learning AI is a great thing, but I would like to suggest that you should not just stop at the technical level of exploration. More importantly, we need to learn how to integrate these technologies into our thinking and actions so that we will not be eliminated by this rapidly changing era! Having said that, only by constantly pursuing self-improvement and growth can we ensure a worry-free future career.

As long as we adopt the correct learning attitude and methods, we can not only effectively master AI technology, but also use these technologies to create our own future.

In this AI era full of opportunities and challenges, I would like to encourage everyone to welcome every opportunity to learn and grow with an open and positive attitude, and jointly create a future that belongs to us!
