Artificial intelligence—a.k.a. AI—is here and it’s not going anywhere. So who gets to use it and benefit from it? Is it a danger or is it a useful tool?
Wall Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims says AI is nothing to be afraid of. For people who take the time to work and experiment with it, AI can improve their productivity and creativity—and even job security and better income. It’s a topic at the center of his new book How to AI, in which he offers a direct, hands-on guide to using AI at work. Aimed at the curious and skeptical alike, Mims’ advice includes strategies for businesses of all sizes to use AI to save time, be more innovative, and add to their bottom lines.
Whether it’s a freelance lawyer who has a super-smart digital assistant to aide her in crafting depositions or a mom-and-pop contractor who is able to automate construction bids that used to consume hundreds of hours, Mims says the AI revolution is something everyone can join. Have a billion people have used ChatGPT and similar tools, but millions more been wary. Mims urges people to dive in.
Don’t miss this chance to get beyond the hype and learn how AI can be for every worker.
