John Barrett talks about how we can use Artificial Intelligence to help when we are feeling overwhelmed and our virtual backpack is overloaded. Among his suggestions are:

Think of AI as a super-smart, literal and naive intern, who can’t read your mind but who has unlimited time and access to information. And who will provide you exactly what you ask for with high probability. Use AI to help you use AI

• • What is an effective prompt to …..?
  • What questions do you have for me to better answer my request?
• Provide the AI the parameters for exactly what you want (don’t worry about the HOW)
• E.g.
  • Answer as a thought leader who has deep understanding and practical experience
  • Your audience is junior employees who are smart and inexperienced in the workplace
  • Define the key thinking and provide 3 practical actions they can take to be better team members
  • Provide references and a list of further resources for deeper understanding
• Adopt a 3 iteration approach
• Give feedback and/or adjust request and ask for another suggestion
