Celebrating Wrexham’s 3rd promotion in a row with a pint of their lager. Congratulations! #WxmAFC

Hello! Hope all is well!

But the real transformative value comes when these types of robots are designed to do tasks that humans are not currently doing (due to human physiological constraints). Imagine completely new and novel approaches (or have AI help with that), then build those robots.

MyTake: Humanoid robots with AI cannot be the end goal. These robots are meant to supplement and/ replace existing humans and their physical work (where there are capacity shortages and shortcomings in existing humans-physical systems).

Fascinating. Mind boggling. Overwhelming. Exciting. Terrifying. All at once. #Collabtalk A7

...the world's second leading economy announces a more powerful AI that is already developed (or near release) and it is going to be free and widely available. Human/economic disruptions taking place at a pace incongruent to technology disruptions… #collabtalk A7

A7 - #Collabtalk - Seeing years into a technology that advances and changes so rapidly is impossible to say. One day, the world's leading economy announces a major multi-hundred billion dollar investment in AI (with cooperation from the world's leading AI tech companies) and the next day...

A6 - #Collabtalk - Critical thinking about the products, content, and services provided by non-human actors is going to be key. Along with that, new attention (and intention) to the work being done by, for, and with humans will be increasingly valuable.

Leading by example is always key to setting the tone and expectation levels. The more leaders can demonstrate and show how technologies can help them, the less time they have to spend explicitly "giving orders" about those topics. #Collabtalk A5

A5 - #Collabtalk - HUGE. Impossible to adopt successfully of the culture can't support it. Culture has a thousand factors and elements, but Leadership can control or heavily influence most of those factors.

Hopefully yes, but these are the things to measure (not just volume of generation or speed to generation).

A4 - #Collabtalk - Copilot can be faster to an answer or content product. But is that answer or content product more valuable? If so, is the value gained by the consumer or the creator (prompter)? Will the creator be better on a future attempt? Will the impact to the consumer be better in future?

That student work may be technically correct, but not necessarily learned and part of their own knowledge. #CollabTalk A4

Grades and pass rates may or may not have increased. But those students that do finish may not have deeply learned the materials as they use AI to summarize the summaries that the instructors give them, or to create regurgitated content for assignments. #Collabtalk A4

A4 - #Collabtalk - In EDU, in the classroom, instructors use Copilot and other AIs for materials generation (generate quizzes, study guide summaries, lesson plans, and more), but the BETTER OUTCOMES (smarter and more engaged students) may not be known precisely.

The old Garbage-In-Garbage-Out model on steroids!

Among those culture issues, the expectations of what Copilot can or should do (and what it can't or shouldn't do) have to be known and accepted and injected into the Org's DNA. Too much reliance on Copilot or mistrust or other general Luddite tendencies are all possible barriers. #Collabtalk A3

A3 - #Collabtalk - Licensing costs are THE limitation for many Orgs. Emerging pay as you go models may help with that barrier, but then the realities of folding AI practices into a work culture (that may or may not be able to deal with that) come into play.

Then find a mutually available time, craft the invite with those details and links to related documents, and then bring me to the verge of hitting "send" on the invite after a review. It was impeccable. A2 #Collabtalk

A2 - #Collabtalk - Not surprising, but from a very verbose email exchange that concluded with the realization a meeting was needed, Copilot was able to craft a meeting instance with an agenda, action items, and the full attendee list.

Both - There are obvious "that is so cool!" moments when AI can generate the beginning of something in just a few seconds, but often, with all users, there is a disconnect when making that practical and repeatable and part of a new routine. And just when you think "I go it!", things change again.

Actually applying AI takes immense concentration on intention and reimagining work, all the while the existing work piles up. The stress is real. #Collabtalk A1

A1 - #Collabtalk - To some extent, there has been the opposite intended effect, because the shift has been rapid and fierce. We are overwhelmed with the possibilities (hype) that by the time we see a spark of real potential in a specific application, we are behind even more.
