Mark and Jesse consider the wave of AI technology that is rapidly being deployed in a number of industries. Whether it's the dreamlike collage-art of Midjourney or ChatGPT's pedantic essays based on conversational prompts, AI seems to be on everyone's lips these days. What remains to be seen is how quickly -- and broadly -- it will impact businesses. Mark and Jesse both agree, though, that now is the time to consider how it might impact your business and how you could make use of it.

 

Jesse offers a simple exercise to get started -- write down (without Googling!) every way you can think of that AI could replace or perform some aspect of your business. Write each idea down on a sticky note, and as you amass a lot of sticky notes start to organize them, arrange them into categories, and see what patterns appear. At the very least, this exercise can help you start to understand better what your business is, where and how AI can help or hurt your processes.
