I gave a speech at a conference half a month ago, and I was introducing a gentleman and his company that do data analysis and power efficient intelligence. And I got up on stage, had two things to admit. The first one is that I thought about printing off my speech and giving and reading it to the audience. And then the second one is I used AI to write my speech.

But it took me an hour going through all the prompts, all the things I wanted it to say, changing my voice, changing my tone, style, being punchy, all those kind of things. It took me an hour. because I have the experience, tools, and the skills to be able to write it. You said we've learned this over time. I could have just done it and it would have been finished in 15 minutes.

If we do not continue to encourage people to build human intelligence that is supplemented or complemented by artificial intelligence tools and other ones, then all we get is something that's artificial. And I don't know about you and others, but I can tell when something's not genuine.

If it's artificial sweetener, an artificial voice, annoying robocall, whatever else, you can smell a steak right away. And I don't think that's ever going to go away from humanity. On the flip side or on another angle, I often get asked to go and talk to university class. And we were talking about economic development, which is my focus today in my room.

And we got onto AI and we had people ask me, why would we use you? Why can't I just use AI to do everything? And I thought, okay, you could, you certainly could do that. But what is the purpose of generating it? But why, if you're just going to generate a whole lot of paper, why would anyone on the other end want to read it?

We have to think about what is the ultimate goal of what we're trying to achieve. And then we delved into other things about what about students using AI to cheat and this and that and the other. But we'll put it this way. If you're a high school student and you use AI to write your essay, you get it. If you're a university student and you use AI to write your thesis, you get kids to go to school.

If you are working as an analyst for a bank and you use your data to write your entire investment perspective or other people that put money into something and you put that out there, you've committed fraud. And you're moving up the scale of what the penalty is for not using human intelligence, which we all have and we all value, which is all important.

The other factor to add to this, to then go back to you, is If the level that we're going up, the way to counter that is to make people do things person to person. So if I have somebody that generates a resume on AI and all the things they've done and the way they speak and the level of knowledge of the thing, the information doesn't match or exceed, I know they're faking it.

So I know they're not ready to do it. They will be called out. So it began the authenticity here, the difference between artificial, which is in the intelligent, and authentic. And I think that's where human intelligence wins.

that's what i see as a way forward creating your own strategy for division of labor between the human and the machine i'm currently working in our own organization albeit on my own right and then with others to try to figure out their ai strategy and again to use your coin create human intelligence i was just scribbling on a paper here i think
