Today, almost anyone can harness artificial intelligence using everyday language commands rather than code. According to the author's research, artificial intelligence will soon transform more than 40% of all work activities. In this new era of human-machine collaboration, the ability to effectively leverage AI is essential to professional success.
In this article, we discuss three types of “fusion skills” you need to get the best results from gen AI. Intelligent interrogation is when you tell a large language model to execute in a way that will produce a better outcome, by breaking down a process into steps or visualizing multiple potential paths to a solution. Judgment synthesis is when you incorporate expert and ethical human discernment to make the AI’s output more trustworthy, reliable, and accurate. This includes augmenting the model’s training sources with a trusted knowledge base when necessary, eliminating bias from prompts, ensuring privacy of the data the model uses, and scrutinizing questionable output. Mutual apprenticeship is when you tailor gen AI to your company’s specific business context by including a wealth of organizational data and know-how in command. As you get better at it, you’ll learn yourself how to train the AI to tackle more advanced challenges.
The AI revolution is already here, and by mastering these three skills you'll be set up to succeed in it.
