Abstract
Humans’ use of tools is nothing new. For centuries, people have been using tools and technology to increase their performance. However, the speed at which technology is changing the tools we have access to is accelerating. Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly emerged as a new and powerful technology, and generative AI like ChatGPT and Dall-E have made AI widely accessible - and adopted - by millions of people. However, for users and non-users alike it still remains unclear what generative AI is and how this new technology fits into a practitioner’s toolkit. Like most tools, generative AI can be used in ways that are more and less effective, and the consequences of using a tool incorrectly may be steep (after all, you might not use a hammer to dig a hole). With a clear understanding of what generative AI is, how these new tools apply this technology, and how they might fit into a talent professional’s arsenal, users can understand how to confidently and competently use generative AI applications in their organization. This interactive session will dispel the mystique around generative AI and address some misconceptions about AI-powered interactive platforms. Participants will gain an understanding of what generative AI is, how to incorporate emerging AI tools into the work process, and learn how asking the right questions can help find the right balance between professional expertise, others’ viewpoints, and AI-powered insights. Humans’ use of tools is nothing new, but the tools that AI is powering are a bit novel. This session will help cut through the hype and determine the best way to maximize the benefits and minimize the downsides of using generative AI to attract, retain, and maximize talent in an organization.
