🤖 Are we leading AI, or is AI leading us?
This question has been niggling at me lately, especially as I watch my teenage sprogs navigate this crazy new world. 🤔
Here’s what’s keeping me up at night:
🍩 Tech companies reducing hiring of developers/engineers in favor of AI
🍩 Young people potentially missing out on valuable “battle scars” and learning experiences
🍩 The difference between using AI as a tool vs being led by it
I’ve been experimenting with AI myself (tried building a Google Apps Script recently – definitely NOT my forte! 😅).
While I can copy-paste code snippets, I don’t truly understand the ‘why’ behind them.
But here’s the thing – for me, that’s OK because I’m not aiming to be a developer. But what about our future workforce?
The real magic happens when we LEAD AI:
💪🏻 Asking the right questions
💪🏻 Spotting assumptions and bias
💪🏻 Steering the direction rather than going with the flow
Don’t get me wrong – AI is an amazing tool (helping me doodle better! 😁).
But we need more conversations about cultivating a healthy relationship with it.
What do you think? Are you leading AI or is it leading you?
