Leadership & Learning from Craig
I hope this message finds you well. As we all recognize the increasing role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing in reshaping industries, I wanted to share 1 podcast and 1 video of some highlights that may be valuable as you develop your business strategy.
The video is from Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO. He explains the new features and thinking we should be aware of as technology users in today’s world.
The podcast is Ed Mylett’s and he interviews former Chief Business Officer of Google. This podcast discusses ethical thinking around AI. It’s freaky, cool, and daunting, but things we should be aware of.
I included a summary of just a few highlights of each, along with the links. We are in a new era of technology which I was previously equating to the creation of the internet, but it is much, much more. It’s more like a tool that has the ability to create weapons, so we have to be deliberate in wrapping this tool in ethics and controls.
We all have to figure out how to incorporate AI into our business and life as this isn’t going away. Enjoy the learning and let me know if you’re interested in my help to pull a roadmap together that accounts for this fast-changing tech world.

That's it for now, just start using it ONE TIME per Day. The power of One Thing will help you with this change we must all get used to, just like we did with the internet.
Enjoy the Journey,
Craig C. Sroda
