Whether one agrees that AI is good, bad, or somewhere in between, everyone must understand how AI is used and its limitations. If you do not, you risk digital irrelevance, which can lead to a reliance on potentially inaccurate information (or, worse, to having no idea what your kids are talking about). Recently, generative AI technologies have surged, reshaping the job market and influencing what you read while enjoying your first coffee of the day. In this presentation, I will cure everyone suffering from “digital irrelevance” or, at least, provide a tonic in the form of actionable, real-world (statistically) data-based strategies that will temper your generative-AI symptoms (fears?). We have the answers to your generative AI ills! Then, you can decide if generative AI really is “wonderful” and “meaningful,” or maybe something else.
