The world of work is rapidly changing with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI matures, it's becoming an increasingly unavoidable component of our professional lives, with tools like ChatGPT at the forefront of this revolution. In the latest episode of Creating Your Encore Career, Lynn explores the concept of AI and how pivoting to implement it into your workflow is crucial.

In this episode, Lynn explores what AI is, how to use it, and what it can do. One big concern with this tool is its ethical implications and how the rules surrounding its use may change. Much like when cars were introduced to society, there were no hard-and-fast rules. You could drive your car anywhere, and it was a chaotic experience. As the use of artificial intelligence becomes more commonplace, expect “guardrails” to develop around its use. 

Additionally, incorporating AI into your work can multiply your skills, talents, and create more impact. One of the most significant advantages of AI is its ability to save time. With tools like ChatGPT, you can automate tasks that would otherwise take hours to complete, freeing up time to focus on other tasks. As a one-person team, all of the work falls on Lynn. Using AI can help generate ideas for the podcast, create social media posts, and more. While the suggestions won’t be perfect and probably need some tweaking, having ideas at the ready can save tremendous amounts of time.

With AI, there's no such thing as information overload. With AI Jasper AI, you can use templates to write blog posts, stories, or even books. Jasper also allows you to create social media posts and headlines and has incorporated images into its platform. Searchie has also integrated AI into its platform, making searching for and finding information online easier.

One big drawback to AI is its inability to tell your stories. If you’re a content creator, your life stories are unique to you. While it can find and relay information, it doesn’t have the ability to weave your one-of-a-kind stories into its writing--yet. However, as it becomes more powerful and learns your particular writing and style, that could change with time.

Understanding how to use AI tools as you develop your encore career will be essential in the future if you’re an entrepreneur. The future of AI is bright, and it will likely be able to accomplish even more in the coming years. It has the potential to make our lives easier and more efficient.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or looking to improve your skills, understanding AI and incorporating it into your workflow can help you multiply your talents and create more impact.
