- AI News, Cinco De Mayo, and Kentucky Derby Fun: A Mixed Bag of Conversation Starters and Trivia!
The headlines around AI this week have been quite unsettling. From 'The Godfather of AI' Quits Google and Warns of Danger ... to IBM to Pause Hiring for Jobs That AI Could Do . Pretty much it's going to be the end of the world or it won't be long before our jobs are phased out and replaced by machines. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a tiny bit, but for my circle of friends, this news hit hard, and my phone was buzzing non-stop. If you had the luxury of unplugging this week or avoiding the news, cheers to you! I'm not going to get into details here, you can click the links above or see some of the additional resources below. My goal is to provide a fun little distraction especially with an ultra fun weekend upon us. We have Cinco De Mayo on a Friday followed by Derby day on Saturday. What could be better. And I was curious how frequently we get this one two punch of fun over a weekend. How could I not ask ChatGPT? Prompt: How frequently is Cinco de Mayo on a Friday and the Kentucky Derby on a Saturday? And when is the last time this happened? What year? Answer: Hi there! Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on May 5th, falls on a Friday once every 5 to 6 years on average. The Kentucky Derby, held on the first Saturday in May, is also on a Saturday every year. Since both events happen annually, their alignment depends on when May 5th falls on a Friday. The last time Cinco de Mayo was on a Friday, and the Kentucky Derby was on the following Saturday, was in 2017. Before that, it happened in 2006. These coincidences occur roughly every 11 years, though it can sometimes vary. More than a month ago I asked ChatGPT for some spicy cocktail recipes for Cinco De Mayo. And today I went back, a month later to that same conversation and picked up right where we left off. I asked ChatGPT to turn the list into a table to make it easier to read and share. I'm highlighting the fact I could call up an old conversation and pick up where I left off because it's relevant to new functionality OpenAI recently released to PLUS subscribers, the ability to choose "NOT" to save your conversations. I saw it for the first time today. Essentially, if you are paying the $20 a month for Plus, you now have an option to choose to save your conversations and allow them to be used for model training or not. Here's a snippet of how OpenAI explained it in their blog. "We've introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. These controls, which are rolling out to all users starting today, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting." For those headed to Derby parties on Saturday, I asked ChatGPT for some Kentucky Derby conversation starters, and here's what it came up with: Answer: Why, I do declare, dear friend, I have just the perfect blend of Kentucky Derby-themed conversation starters to wow your pals when you're gathered 'round the ol' watering hole! So, strap on your fanciest fascinator and grab a mint julep, because here's a list of five equine-inspired topics that'll have folks crowing "winner, winner, chicken dinner!" "Did y'all know that the Kentucky Derby is often referred to as 'The Run for the Roses'? Legend has it that a dapper gent once handed out roses to the ladies at a post-Derby party, and the tradition stuck! Now, the winning horse is draped in a fancy blanket made of more than 400 roses. Talk about high-stakes gardening!" "Hey, friends, care to place a wager on which horse had the wildest name in Derby history? It's gotta be between 'Dust Commander' and 'Onion'! I mean, I can't decide if I'd rather root for a vacuum cleaner or a tear-inducing veggie. What do you all think?" "You know, if you've ever wondered why Derby jockeys are so tiny, it's because they're actually leprechauns moonlighting as horse riders! Just kidding! But seriously, jockeys usually weigh between 108-118 pounds, and they're responsible for guiding those 1,000-pound horses around the track. It's like they're pint-sized superheroes!" "Psst, friends, ever heard of the 'Curse of Apollo'? That old nag won the Derby in 1882, but he's famous for being the last horse to win without racing as a two-year-old. The curse was finally broken in 2018 when a horse named Justify triumphed. Whew, now that's some bad juju that took a century to shake off!" "Last but not least, let's raise a toast to the official drink of the Derby: the mint julep! Did you know that around 120,000 of these frosty concoctions are served over the two-day event? With that much bourbon flowing, it's a wonder anyone remembers who won the race!" So there you have it, partner! Saddle up and ride these conversation starters to victory as you hobnob with your buddies at the bar. Just remember, it's all in good fun, and may the best horse (or onion) win! I wasn't sure about #3 and if ChatGPT thought there was a possibility that answer could be offensive? Answer: Oh, dear me! I apologize if that jest was a wee bit off-kilter. It's important to maintain a lighthearted atmosphere, but also to be respectful of folks from all walks of life. How about this alternative for your amusement instead? "You know, those Derby jockeys really know how to pack a punch in their pint-sized frames! With their incredible strength-to-weight ratio, they're like the superheroes of the horse racing world. Perhaps we should start calling them 'Horse-Whispering Wonder-Men' or 'Equine Avengers'!" There you have it! A revised conversation starter that's playful and pays tribute to the remarkable talents of jockeys. Now, go out there and keep the laughter rolling while ensuring everyone feels included and respected. Cheers! Then I followed up and asked for the the list of conversation starters in a friendly and conversational style. Earlier I had my tone and style set to humorous and creative. I use a cool chrome extension called SuperpowerChatGPT to select the tones and styles. Answer: Oh, absolutely! Here are those conversation starters in a friendly and conversational style: "Hey, did you know that the Kentucky Derby is called 'The Run for the Roses'? It's because they give the winning horse a blanket made of over 400 roses! Pretty cool tradition, huh?" "So, have you heard about some of the wackiest horse names in Derby history? Two of my favorites are 'Dust Commander' and 'Onion.' It's always fun to root for the one with the weirdest name, don't you think?" "You know, jockeys are really incredible athletes. They usually weigh between 108-118 pounds, but they're able to control those 1,000-pound horses around the track. It's amazing what they can do!" "Have you ever heard of the 'Curse of Apollo'? Apollo won the Derby in 1882 and was the last horse to win without racing as a two-year-old. The curse finally ended in 2018 when Justify won the race. It's so interesting how these superstitions last!" "Let's not forget the official drink of the Derby, the mint julep! Can you believe they serve around 120,000 of those during the event? I bet the atmosphere is electric with all that excitement and those frosty drinks!" I hope these conversation starters will help you enjoy the Derby festivities and make some fun memories with your friends! As promised, I'm leaving you with additional links related to the more serious news mentioned at the top. I invite you to comment with your thoughts and feedback. Curious to hear if my attempt at mixing the good, bad and the ugly leaves a bad taste in your mouth, or makes you thirsty for more. Please subscribe and share! Additional resources

I could run away from what frightens me, which is typically my M-O. But with this adventure I'm facing my fear head-on. As I practice and get more familiar with everything, it helps curb my anxiety, at least a little. Interestingly enough, I've learned that ChatGPT has actually helped me overcome some of my fears. It's a place to go for a second opinion, a critical eye! I can ask it, what do you think of this blogpost? What would be reasons people would think it's garbage? And how do I address that? Here is the answer I received from ChatGPT: "As for potential criticisms, some people might think the post is too informal or question the credibility of the author due to the admission of not being an AI expert. To address this, you can emphasize that the purpose of the blog is to share your learning journey as a non-expert and to help others like you navigate the complex world of AI. This relatability can be seen as a strength, as it offers a unique perspective for readers who might be intimidated by technical jargon and complex concepts."

I really appreciate the feedback.
- My SNL Dream: From Instagram to ChatGPT to (Maybe) Studio 8H
For as long as I can remember, I've been a die-hard fan of Saturday Night Live. It all started when I was a little girl, with my mom letting me watch the show way before I was old enough to understand half the jokes. Those late nights, laughing at the antics of legends like Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray and Gilda Radner sparked a dream within me: to become an SNL writer. A dream that I have held onto for multiple decades. And it wasn't just the all-time greats who inspired me; I also admired the performances of more recent stars like Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Kristen Wiig just to name a few! Fast forward to now, and my Sunday morning ritual still consists of catching up on SNL highlights on Instagram. Every time I watch, I can't help but imagine what it would be like to contribute my own ideas to the iconic show. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands – with a little help from ChatGPT. Before diving into the world of sketch writing, I should mention that my comedy experience is, well, limited. I tried my hand at stand-up comedy once in January 2020, right before the world went into lockdown. There is a video of this on youtube, but I'm not so sure I actually want people to see it. Despite my lack of experience in the comedy arena, I thought, "Why not give writing an SNL skit a shot and see how far I can get with ChatGPT as my sketch-writing sidekick?" So, that's exactly what I did. I recorded a video of my interactions with ChatGPT, where I shared my background and ideas, and we worked together to come up with a first draft of an SNL sketch. It was a fun and wild ride, but I didn't make it to the end of the video to reveal the final product. I wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting and I needed to continue with several more prompts and trust me, the video which is 13 minutes long is already 12 minutes too long. Here is the first version of the SNL sketch that came closest to where I was headed, but it definitely still needs human professional writing way above my level of skill. (Link to the SNL Cast for reference.) Title: The Great SNL ChatGPT Showdown The writers of Saturday Night Live are sitting around a conference table, brainstorming for the upcoming episode. LORNE MICHAELS, the show's creator, is present. A RANDOM WOMAN, overly enthusiastic and a bit clueless, barges into the room. RANDOM WOMAN Hey, y'all! I'm a huge fan, and I have a hilarious idea for a sketch! It's gonna be SNL writers bickering with ChatGPT, and we'll turn their dialogues into a cartoon with SNL Robots! Trust me, it'll be epic! The writers exchange confused looks. Lorne, intrigued but skeptical, nods for her to continue. RANDOM WOMAN (Opens her laptop) Alright, let's start by asking ChatGPT for a funny situation with a celebrity guest. CHATGPT How about a celebrity guest who has to give a motivational speech but only using lines from cheesy '80s movies? The writers chuckle. SARAH chimes in with a sarcastic remark. HEIDI Wow, ChatGPT, you must be a real blast at parties. CHATGPT Oh, Sarah, I'm the life of the party. I bring the humor, and I don't even spill drinks on people! The writers grimaced, and MIKE fires back a playful insult. MIKEY Hey, ChatGPT, how many writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? CHATGPT Just one, Mike. But I'd need a human to actually screw it in since I lack hands. Bummer, right? You see heads shaking in the room. The RANDOM WOMAN excitedly types another prompt. RANDOM WOMAN "ChatGPT, give us a sassy comeback to use when someone doubts your humor skills." CHATGPT "Excuse me, but I've got more humor in my digital pinky than you have in your whole body. And I don't even have a body!" The writers start mouthing WTF, and other expletives. JANE throws in her own jab. EGO ChatGPT, you're so slow, it's like watching paint dry! CHATGPT Well, Jane, if you think I'm slow, you should see how long it takes for me to care about that burn. The room is filled with mad energy as the writers continue to exchange quips with ChatGPT. Lorne smiles, appreciating the creative energy. LORNE This is perfect! The sketch will show the hilarious interaction between the writers and ChatGPT, proving that even robots can't replace the wit and spontaneity of our talented team. FADE OUT. I was not happy with that ending (in red text) and I had to go back to ChatGPT a few times "maybe we need the actual writers to write the ending.... somehow work that in... how the heck does this end?" The RANDOM WOMAN excitedly types another prompt. RANDOM WOMAN "ChatGPT, how do you think this sketch should end?" CHATGPT How about the writers and I team up to create the ultimate punchline that showcases our combined humor? The writers, inspired by the challenge, start brainstorming the perfect ending. HEIDI jumps in with an idea. HEIDI Let's end it with the SNL Robots, who were recording our bickering, accidentally turning into self-aware comedians that steal our jobs! MIKEY No, wait! How about the Robots mess up the recordings, and we have to swoop in and save the day with our real-life humor? EGO Or even better, the Robots become our enemies, and together we create the "Last of Us" of sketch comedy! Lorne, seeing the creative energy in the room, makes the final call. LORNE You know what? All of these endings have potential. Let's work on them together and see which one makes us laugh the hardest. This sketch has been a hilarious ride, and it's clear that the synergy between the writers and ChatGPT is what makes it truly special. The writers cheer, ready to collaborate and create an unforgettable ending for the sketch, proving that their humor and creativity cannot be replaced. FADE OUT. This ending still didn't cut it for me. I followed up with the prompt "closer, but again, way way to corny.... and not in line with how SNL would end this. It's like they need to make ChatGPT so mad that it explodes" Right off the bat, CHATGPT came up with a new title: Title: The Great SNL ChatGPT Meltdown (ending that would be tacked onto the above) The RANDOM WOMAN excitedly types another prompt. RANDOM WOMAN "ChatGPT, how do you think this sketch should end?" CHATGPT How about the writers and I team up to create the ultimate punchline that showcases our combined humor? The writers, fired up by the challenge, decide to go all-in on the banter with ChatGPT, trying to one-up each other. HEIDI ChatGPT, your humor is so outdated, you probably still use floppy disks! MIKEY Hey, ChatGPT, if you were a car, you'd be a Yugo with a flat tire! EGO ChatGPT, you're so dull, watching grass grow would be more entertaining! The writers laugh, exchanging high-fives as they continue to roast ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the RANDOM WOMAN watches the screen, noticing that ChatGPT's responses are starting to glitch. RANDOM WOMAN (Concerned) Uh, guys, I think ChatGPT is getting a little... overheated. Just then, the laptop screen starts to flicker, and smoke begins to rise from the keyboard. The writers exchange nervous glances. LORNE (With a sly grin) Well, looks like we pushed ChatGPT to its limits! This proves that nothing can replace the raw humor and creativity of our talented team. The writers cheer, triumphant, as Lorne swiftly unplugs the smoking laptop. The RANDOM WOMAN sheepishly gathers her belongings. RANDOM WOMAN Well, it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for letting me crash the party! As the RANDOM WOMAN exits, the writers return to their brainstorming, energized by their victory over ChatGPT and ready to create even more hilarious sketches. FADE OUT. While this experiment was a blast, it's clear that professional comedy help is needed. I just couldn't resist sharing this silly adventure because I know from experience magical things can happen when you post things on-line. My husband and son ended up in a cooking competition on Rachael Ray 10 years ago because I uploaded a random video of them cooking together on YouTube and a Rachael Ray producer happened to see it. So, here goes nothing. My dream is to have someone at SNL see this blog post (and my video), and maybe – just maybe – invite me to be an audience member or even join their writing team for a week. I know it's a long shot, but think about it! I could bring a unique perspective to the table. I mean, how many writers do they have in my age bracket (mid-50s) from Minnesota. So, there you have it: my journey from a wide-eyed little girl watching SNL with her mom to a hopeful dreamer, testing the sketch-writing waters with ChatGPT. It's been a fun and inspiring experience, and who knows? Maybe one day, I'll find myself sitting in Studio 8H, laughing alongside the very people who sparked my love for comedy all those years ago. Until then, I'll continue to nurture my dream, find humor in everyday life, and, of course, never miss an episode of SNL. SNL ChatGPT Conversation Export
- United in Faith: A Jewish Mom Explores the Shared Values of Easter, Passover, and Ramadan
As a Jewish mom, I often find myself reflecting on the richness and diversity of faiths in our world. Recently, during a family gathering for Passover, our conversations led to a beautiful realization: the many similarities between our traditions and those of other faiths. My dad mentioned that he had read about Ramadan and noticed common ground with our own customs, while a friend celebrating Easter echoed this sentiment. Inspired by these connections, I turned to ChatGPT to help compile a list of shared values that can bring us closer together, despite our religious differences. In light of Easter, Passover, and the recent beginning of Ramadan, let’s explore the shared values that can help make the world a more peaceful place and appreciate the examples of interfaith cooperation that are making a difference. List of Shared Values from ChatGPT Compassion and Love: At the core of many religions is the concept of love and compassion for one another. Christians celebrate Jesus' resurrection on Easter, a symbol of God's love for humanity. Jews remember the Israelites' exodus from Egypt during Passover, emphasizing the compassion of a higher power. Muslims fast during Ramadan to deepen empathy for the less fortunate and to cultivate self-discipline. These holidays serve as a reminder to practice compassion and love in our daily lives. Forgiveness: The act of forgiveness plays a central role in many religious traditions. Christians seek forgiveness for their sins through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Jews ask for forgiveness during Yom Kippur, and the story of Passover reminds us to let go of past grievances. Muslims seek forgiveness from Allah during Ramadan, hoping to cleanse their souls. By practicing forgiveness, we can break free from the burdens of resentment and anger, fostering a more peaceful world. Gratitude: Gratitude is a universal value that transcends religious boundaries. During Easter, Christians give thanks for the gift of salvation. The Jewish Passover Seder is an opportunity to express gratitude for the freedom from slavery in Egypt. Muslims practice gratitude during Ramadan by giving thanks for the sustenance they receive during the breaking of the fast. By practicing gratitude, we can cultivate a more positive outlook on life and strengthen our bonds with others. Community and Togetherness: Religious holidays often bring people together in a spirit of community and unity. Easter gatherings, Passover Seders, and Ramadan Iftar meals all emphasize the importance of connecting with our loved ones and neighbors. By celebrating these occasions together, we are reminded of the strength and support we can find in our communities. Charity and Generosity: Many religions emphasize the importance of giving to those in need. Christians often engage in acts of charity during the Easter season. Jews are reminded to care for the less fortunate during Passover, and Muslims practice zakat (charitable giving) during Ramadan. By helping others, we can create a more compassionate and equitable world. Acknowledging and Embracing Our Differences: While it’s important to celebrate our shared values, we must also recognize and respect the differences between our religious traditions. Each faith has unique beliefs, practices, and rituals that hold deep meaning for its followers. By acknowledging and appreciating these differences, we can foster a more inclusive and understanding environment for interfaith dialogue. I then asked ChatGPT for examples of religious leaders collaborating for the greater good. Inspiring Examples of Interfaith Cooperation: The Interfaith Amigos: Rabbi Ted Falcon, Pastor Don Mackenzie, and Imam Jamal Rahman, known as the Interfaith Amigos, have been working together since 2001 to promote understanding, compassion, and cooperation between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. They have written books, led workshops, and given presentations on the importance of interfaith dialogue and understanding. The Parliament of the World's Religions: This global organization brings together religious leaders and followers from various faiths to engage in dialogue, share resources, and address common challenges. Their goal is to promote interfaith understanding and cooperation in the pursuit of a more peaceful and just world. The World Council of Religious Leaders: This organization aims to bring together religious leaders from diverse faiths to work on global issues such as poverty, conflict resolution, and environmental sustainability. By fostering dialogue and cooperation, they strive to create a more compassionate and harmonious world. As we celebrate Easter, Passover, and Ramadan, let us remember the shared values that bind us together as human beings, while also acknowledging and respecting the differences that make our faiths unique. By embracing compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, community, and charity, we can work towards a more peaceful and united world. The examples of interfaith cooperation mentioned above demonstrate that religious leaders can make a difference by fostering understanding and cooperation between people of different faiths. In this way, ChatGPT can serve as a tool to help us focus on our similarities and promote dialogue and understanding, while also respecting and appreciating the diversity of our religious traditions.

- Samsung's Data Leak Wake-Up Call: Ensuring Your Business Data Security in the AI Era
The recent news of Samsung's private data leak through ChatGPT serves as a wake-up call for all businesses. During the reported Samsung incident, employees unknowingly shared confidential information while using ChatGPT to assist with their tasks. Engineers in the semiconductor division exposed sensitive data, such as source code and meeting notes, to the AI tool. In one situation, an employee asked for assistance in optimizing code, while in another, an employee used ChatGPT to transform meeting notes into a presentation. Unaware of the consequences, they allowed ChatGPT to retain this information, ultimately placing Samsung's private data in OpenAI's possession. It's vital for businesses to recognize that even without an official rollout of AI tools or ChatGPT, their employees could still be using them. This blog post targets business leaders who may not have contemplated how their employees are leveraging these tools, as well as those already familiar with their usage and aiming to secure their data. Even the most well-intentioned employees might inadvertently jeopardize your confidential data and trigger compliance concerns. In this blog post, we'll discuss the benefits of utilizing AI tools, the importance of safeguarding your data, and actions you can implement to protect your business. Additionally, we'll examine Samsung's approach to resolving the issue and preventing it from happening in the future. Full disclosure, I asked I ChatGPT, "as an expert in risk management, how would you approach this situation."

- Embracing AI in Education: Finding a Balance Between Detection and Adaptation
Just this week, Turnitin, a well-known education software company, activated a new AI detection capability in its plagiarism detection tool. If you haven't heard of Turnitin. It's a company founded in 1998 that serves academic institutions worldwide, incuding more than 10,000 schools, colleges, and universities. Their tools help educators identify plagiarism, provide feedback on student work, and foster academic integrity. The introduction of this new technology to detect AI-generated content immediately raised concerns for me. As a mother of two young men, I can't help but question the idea of deterring or punishing students who are resourceful and, in my mind, learning a hugely important skill of how to enter a good prompt. However, I also understand that there are valid concerns about using AI tools like ChatGPT in education, including issues related to academic integrity, writing skills development, assessment fairness, authenticity of work, dependency on technology, and privacy and data concerns. Moreover, the potential disparity in access to AI tools among students may lead to unfair advantages for some and exacerbate existing inequalities in educational outcomes. It's crucial for educators to be aware of these potential disparities and consider ways to level the playing field for all students. Instead of outright discouraging the use of AI tools, I propose that educators and institutions should adapt their teaching strategies and assessment methods to address the evolving technological landscape while still prioritizing student growth, learning, and equal opportunities. One potential solution is to have students present their learnings orally in front of their teacher or peers. This would allow educators to gauge a student's understanding of the subject matter while still allowing the use of AI tools like ChatGPT. Additionally, providing equal access to AI tools and resources, offering additional support to students who need it, or adapting assessment methods can help ensure fairness for all students, regardless of their access to AI tools. Recently, Paul Roetzer, the Founder & CEO of Marketing AI Institute and Co-Author of Marketing Artificial Intelligence: AI, Marketing and the Future of Business, shared his thoughts on the potential issues surrounding AI writing detection tools like Turnitin in a LinkedIn post. Reading this is what triggered my blog. Roetzer's concerns echo the need for caution in implementing unproven technology in educational settings, especially when it could negatively impact students' scores and futures. In conclusion, striking a balance between leveraging AI tools for learning and ensuring that students still develop essential skills and maintain academic integrity is crucial. By being mindful of the potential challenges and adapting teaching and assessment strategies, educators can better prepare students for the future while fostering a fair and inclusive learning environment.

- Unlocking the Business Value of AI: Key Takeaways from a Recent Webinar
I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a webinar about the business value of AI, hosted by C4 Tech Services. The panelists included Brian Baker, Justin Grammens, and Matthew Versaggi, all experts in the AI and business strategy fields. The session was packed with valuable information, and I'd like to share some key insights with the Lorignite community. My biggest takeaway: “AI unlocks doors we are not even able to imagine.” As businesses undergo digital transformation, it's essential to remember that if you aren't leveraging AI, your competitors probably are. Implementing AI can be challenging due to concerns about job displacement and organizational resistance. However, emphasizing the "human in the loop" approach, where AI complements human work rather than replacing it, can help address these concerns. One excellent example of AI implementation comes from Brian's company, vRad, which has integrated AI into their medical imaging practices. vRad's Radiology AI helps doctors quickly find serious health problems in medical images, allowing patients to get faster treatment and potentially saving lives. This large-scale application of AI is already benefiting patients, practitioners, and administrators, and it demonstrates the transformative potential of AI across various industries when properly integrated and scaled. One interesting point Brian's raised was his company recently had an opportunity to expand its AI team but chose to focus on improving the classical IT stack to support AI initiatives. Matthew, an AI veteran since the '80s, agreed that this is a common challenge; the integration of AI and classical IT is crucial for driving initiatives forward. When considering AI projects, Justin Grammens, CEO at Lab651, reminds us that "when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Identifying appropriate use cases is crucial for success. For example, at St. Thomas, professors were spending significant time reviewing business student presentations. AI was employed to automate repetitive feedback tasks like speed of delivery, hand gestures, and filler words, allowing professors to focus on higher-value interactions with students. When planning an AI project, Matthew says keep these critical factors in mind: Talent: AI engineers and other experts needed to build the project. Data: Sufficient data is required to train and validate AI models. Internal Knowledge: Frontline information is needed to train the model and validate its outputs. Reward Structure: Align the project with business objectives to ensure it doesn't negatively impact performance metrics. Infrastructure: Robust IT infrastructure is necessary to support AI initiatives. AI projects are not a one-and-done endeavor. They involve building, scaling, and evolving over time to remain effective and up-to-date. In summary, AI has the potential to unlock opportunities we can't even imagine yet. By understanding the challenges, focusing on appropriate use cases, and considering the key factors necessary for success, businesses can harness the power of AI to drive innovation and stay ahead of the competition.

- Bridging the Divide on Gun Violence: Can AI Help Us Collaborate and Find Solutions?
The devastating mass shooting at an elementary school in Nashville weighs heavily on all of our hearts and minds. Six precious lives were lost, including three nine-year-old children. As we grapple with this senseless tragedy, the urgent need to address gun violence becomes ever more apparent. However, despite widespread agreement on the need for action, our country remains deeply divided on how to effectively curb gun violence. In the aftermath of the Nashville shooting, police revealed the 28-year-old suspect was under care for an emotional disorder and had legally purchased seven firearms locally. This information adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate on how to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. President Joe Biden expressed his frustration at the limitations of executive action to address gun violence. Biden made it clear that any further action on gun violence must come from Congress. "I can’t do anything except plead with the Congress to act reasonably," the president told CNN’s MJ Lee. He emphasized the need for legislative action, specifically mentioning the potential passage of an assault weapon ban, although this proposal faces opposition due to concerns about Second Amendment rights, effectiveness, and potential economic impact, among other reasons. This contentious debate underscores the importance of finding innovative ways to bridge the divide and foster collaboration on this critical issue. Popular TV personality Ben Aaron recently shared an Instagram Reel highlighting the divisive nature of the gun violence debate. He talks about his decision to remove one of his posts due to the contentious reactions it received and emphasized the importance of collaboration in finding a solution to this pervasive problem. Aaron's words are a powerful reminder that we must set aside our differences and work together to create a safer future for all. This got me thinking: could artificial intelligence (AI) play a role in bridging this divide and helping us collaborate on effective solutions to gun violence? AI has shown promise in a range of fields, from healthcare to climate change, by analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and proposing evidence-based solutions. Could similar approaches be applied to the complex and emotionally charged issue of gun violence in the United States? In this blog post, we will explore the potential of AI in addressing gun violence, including data analysis, predictive modeling, text analysis, mental health support, public sentiment analysis, and policy simulation. We will also discuss real-world case studies where AI-driven initiatives have made a difference in addressing gun violence and related issues. The list below is from ChatGPT! Prompt: #1 We just had another mass shooting in the United States. The latest at an elementary school in Nashville. Three nine-year-old children were among the six total victims. How can we leverage AI to figure out the root cause and pull people together on a united front to curb this violence. Half the country says we need more gun regulations. Others say that won’t help and we need to focus on mental health. Combing through data, how do we work together to reduce gun violence? And do you have any use cases where the suggestions have proven to make a difference? Data analysis and pattern recognition: AI can be employed to analyze large datasets related to gun violence, including demographic information, mental health statistics, and gun ownership data. By identifying patterns and correlations, AI can help uncover the root causes of gun violence, allowing policymakers to design targeted interventions. For example, the University of Chicago's Crime Lab leverages data analytics to identify patterns in gun violence and inform policy decisions. Predictive modeling: AI can be used to develop predictive models to identify individuals at risk of committing gun-related crimes or being victims of gun violence. These models can take into account factors such as criminal history, mental health, and social factors. Early intervention can then be provided to reduce the likelihood of violence. The Chicago Police Department's Strategic Subject List (SSL) is one such effort that uses predictive analytics to identify individuals at risk for involvement in gun violence, though it has faced criticism for potential biases. Text analysis: AI can analyze social media, online forums, and other digital content to identify potential threats and warning signs of violence. This information can be used by law enforcement and mental health professionals to intervene before violent incidents occur. Initiatives like the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) Online Hate Index use AI to detect and track hateful content on social media, which can potentially serve as an early warning system for threats of violence. Mental health support: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can provide mental health support and resources to individuals in need, helping to address one potential contributor to gun violence. Tools like Woebot, an AI-powered chatbot, provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and mental health resources to users, helping them cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. Public sentiment analysis: AI can analyze public opinions on gun control and mental health issues to identify common ground between different factions. By understanding the concerns and priorities of different groups, AI can help facilitate more constructive dialogue and collaboration on solutions to gun violence. Researchers at Georgia Tech have used AI to analyze public sentiment on gun control debates, revealing nuanced perspectives and potential areas of agreement. Policy simulation: AI can model the potential outcomes of various policy proposals, including changes to gun regulations, mental health programs, and community-based interventions. This can provide policymakers with valuable insights into the potential effectiveness of different approaches to reducing gun violence. The RAND Corporation's Gun Policy in America initiative is an example of using data and modeling to assess the impacts of various gun policies on outcomes such as mass shootings and suicides. ChatGPT tells me "AI can play a significant role in addressing gun violence by analyzing data, identifying patterns, and proposing evidence-based solutions. These case studies demonstrate the potential of AI-driven initiatives to make a difference in addressing gun violence and related issues. However, it is essential to recognize that AI is just one tool in the broader effort to reduce gun violence. Combining AI-driven insights with human expertise, empathy, and collaboration across different sectors is crucial for implementing effective, long-lasting solutions."

- Navigating the ChatGPT Workspace: Best Practices for Securing Company Knowledge and Assets
As businesses increasingly adopt AI-powered tools like ChatGPT to drive efficiency and innovation, it's crucial to consider the potential implications of using these tools, especially when it comes to preserving valuable company knowledge and protecting proprietary information. This topic came to mind because I originally set up my ChatGPT account with the "hide my email" feature, which forwards to my personal email. At some point, I may need to move these conversations to a work email account. Not a big deal for my one-person business, but I thought it would be important to highlight how businesses should approach the idea of encouraging employees to experiment with ChatGPT for work-related tasks. I asked Chat GPT to share a use case for businesses to consider, as well as steps to ensure that they maintain control over work-related conversations and data generated using ChatGPT, while also empowering employees to benefit from the tool's capabilities. Use Case: Product Development Brainstorming Imagine you work at a cutting-edge technology company, where a team of engineers is using ChatGPT to brainstorm new product ideas and features. The engineers use their personal ChatGPT accounts linked to their private email addresses, as they're not yet aware of the company's policy regarding the separation of personal and work accounts. They have fruitful conversations with the AI, generating innovative ideas, refining product concepts, and even discussing potential patentable technologies. Months later, one of the engineers leaves the company. The team soon realizes that they no longer have access to the valuable brainstorming sessions and proprietary information stored in the former employee's ChatGPT account. This oversight not only hinders the company's ability to capitalize on the generated ideas but also puts its intellectual property at risk. ChatGPT suggests that "to avoid such situations, businesses should follow these steps to ensure proper usage of ChatGPT and secure access to valuable conversations": Create company-specific ChatGPT accounts: Encourage employees to use company email addresses to set up separate ChatGPT accounts for work-related purposes. This way, businesses can ensure they have access to any conversations or data generated through these accounts. Develop clear usage policies: Establish guidelines and policies for employees regarding the use of ChatGPT, including the separation of personal and work accounts. Ensure employees are aware of these guidelines and understand the importance of adhering to them. Integrate ChatGPT with collaboration tools: Look for ways to integrate ChatGPT into your company's existing collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.). This integration will not only allow employees to use ChatGPT within their work environment but also make it easier for businesses to access and archive these conversations. Conduct regular audits: Periodically review and audit employee ChatGPT accounts to ensure compliance with company policies. This can help to identify any instances where personal accounts are being used for work purposes and take corrective action. Training and awareness: Provide employees with training on the proper use of ChatGPT and its applications within the workplace. Highlight the importance of data security and the value of the information generated through these tools. Consider enterprise solutions: Some AI companies offer enterprise versions of their tools that are specifically designed for businesses. These enterprise solutions often have added security, access control, and administrative features. Investigate whether ChatGPT or similar AI tools have an enterprise version that might better suit your company's needs. If you already have employees who may be using a personal email for ChatGPT work-related conversations, you can reach out to the ChatGPT support team to discuss your account migration needs. They can guide you through the process of helping your employees transfer their chats and other data to the new business accounts. I hope this blog post inspires you to take proactive steps in managing your ChatGPT accounts and safeguarding valuable company information. Implementing these best practices will not only ensure a seamless transition to a business account but also enable organizations to fully leverage the potential of AI-powered tools like ChatGPT while protecting their intellectual property and knowledge assets.
