AI Mastery for the Seasoned Mind.
Are you a seasoned human aged 60 plus and and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the rapid pace of new technology, especially AI? Perhaps you've even watched videos suggesting that Artificial Intelligence might soon wipe away humanity, leaving you with a sense that this is the end. Rest assured, those anxieties are common, and this episode is designed to help you navigate them. We'll dive into your biggest concerns, from worries about losing control and the sheer complexity of new tech, to very real fears about losing privacy and the increasing risks of security threats like deepfakes.
I am incredibly excited to be joined by Nicole Valentine, an attorney and Fintech Director at the Milken Institute. The Milken Institute is a respected nonprofit think tank dedicated to accelerating global progress by connecting leaders and resources to solve critical challenges in finance, health, and philanthropy. Nicole brings her extensive experience in technology and innovation, offering insights in a wonderfully friendly and reassuring way.
She offers a truly refreshing perspective that can significantly reduce your anxieties. In our conversation, she will show you that by simply exploring AI and understanding its actual capabilities—much like you would with familiar tools you already use, such as Apple's Siri, which is a form of AI—you can begin to feel more comfortable.
Did you know that the concept of Artificial Intelligence isn't new at all? The term itself was coined way back in the 1940s, and we as a society have been utilizing simpler, and then increasingly complex, versions of AI for many decades. Now, with computers becoming exponentially more powerful, AI can leverage well-developed language models, benefiting nearly all sectors of society.
Imagine what you can do when you have a free, 24/7 assistant at your fingertips—one that can translate most languages, write and edit text for you, organize your appointments and photos, compile your medical history to suggest personalized recipe ideas and exercise regimes, play chess with you, organize and book a cheaper trip and so much more!
Nicole will discuss the vital mindset shifts needed to gracefully navigate this evolving digital landscape, ultimately showing how understanding new tech is key to building a more inclusive and secure future for everyone.
The way to win here is to get quality information so we can understand what we are dealing with. If you have any concerns with AI invading your life, feel free to contact me to ask for an episode on specific fears you have soI can find the best guests to help you.
I am dedicated to help you to create the life that you want.
