7️⃣ stages of the AI Revolution Can you believe that we are still in the early 'childhood' phase of AI evolution? This is because existing models are specialized without the broad cognitive abilities of human intelligence. But where are we exactly? Let’s recap some of the AI technologies that currently exist: [1] Narrow AI (Weak or Traditional AI) The most common AI today includes Siri, Roomba, and chatbots like ELIZA and A.L.I.C.E. These models perform specific tasks well but their capabilities are limited to their training data and set rules. [2] Reactive Machines Think IBM's Deep Blue, a chess-playing AI. These machines lack a “memory” of past actions and make decisions based on real-time analysis. [3] Limited Memory These AI systems, like self-driving cars, apply past experiences to make future decisions, but their learning is limited. They can’t generalize this learning to new, unforeseen problems. 👉 [4] Generative AI (we are here) Generative AI excels at generating new content, like text, images, and code. Though still early in commercial development, It shows promise in offering dynamic and adaptable solutions. Where can we go?  Here are some potential future stages of AI: [5] Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or Strong AI   AGI can think, reason, and learn across any intellectual activity. While Sophia and AlphaGo offer glimpses of this potential, we're still far from realizing it. [6] Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) This theoretical future state of AI would not only match human intelligence but exceed it in every way, including creativity and social interactions. [7] Theory of Mind and Self-Aware AI This theoretical AI model would be capable of comprehending emotions, beliefs and even have self-awareness. We are nowhere close to achieving this and experts continue to debate whether it's even possible. *** 💬 What AI technology do you think will have the biggest impact on our daily lives in the next decade, and why? *** 📌 If you are interested to dive deeper, grab my book, an Amazon best seller, “Reimagined: Building Products with Generative AI”, featuring over 150 real-world examples, 30 case studies, and 20+ frameworks: https://a.co/d/btmnJfu Kudos to Grace Guan for visual and branding support! #ProductManagement #AI #GenerativeAI

6️⃣ Generative AI superpowers [1] Generate Creative, Multi-modal Content Generative AI excels in producing diverse content - be it text, image, audio, video, code, or 3D design. This is transforming everything from automated marketing to website design. [2] Data Generation for Simulation and Prediction Generative AI can create synthetic datasets to bridge knowledge gaps. This supercharges decision-making and future scenario forecasting, giving businesses a crystal ball for market trends. [3] Task Generation, Planning, and Execution Plan, execute and refine tasks. [4] Adaptive Personalization This allows us to tailor experiences to individual needs, from product recommendations to educational pathways. [5] Real-Time Interactivity AI’s ability to analyze and update in real-time sets a new standard for system responsiveness.Whether it’s rerouting traffic in real-time or adapting a video game to a player's actions, it’s always in the moment. [6] Democratizing Expertise Generative AI levels the playing field by making expert-level resources accessible to novices, driving a growing suite of tools for non-technical users. *** 💬 How is generative AI impacting your industry and what possibilities are you most excited to explore? *** 📌 If you are interested to dive deeper, grab my book, an Amazon best seller, “Reimagined: Building Products with Generative AI”, featuring over 150 real-world examples, 30 case studies, and 20+ frameworks: https://a.co/d/btmnJfu Kudos to Grace Guan for visual and branding support! #ProductManagement #AI #GenerativeAI

A survey showed that 64% of knowledge workers believe communication is THE most important skill for their job. Communicating the RIGHT message at the RIGHT time with the RIGHT audience is the key to unlocking opportunities and getting seen as the top 1% in your job. And yet, most of us do it WRONG. 💢 Most of us start with crafting the RIGHT message... The right thing to do is start backward from WHO you need to convince, making sure you engage them at the right time and forum with the right messaging. 1️⃣ RIGHT audience If you are leading a large project, this often involves multiple layers of stakeholders: - The decision-makers who can approve resourcing - The partner teams you need to influence to get buy-in - The working team you need to motivate  - The customer you desperately want to close the deal Making YOUR message land often starts with tailoring the message to THEM. Get to know your stakeholders: their goals, hopes, priorities, needs, and concerns. So, when you are finally ready to ask, it becomes a no-brainer for them to say yes! 2️⃣ RIGHT time This involves assessing your audience’s readiness to hear what you can say. - How much does this person know about X? - What potential resistance may this person have?  - Am I offering options to help ease their resistance?  - Do I have ‘social currency’ to convince this person? This also includes speaking at the proper forum, where you will have all key stakeholders in the room. 3️⃣ RIGHT message Now, finally, is the “meat” of how we craft the actual content of our message. - Framing: Does the message speak to the intent and mindset of my audience? - Clarity: Is the message clear? - Supporting evidence: Do I have the data and voice of the customer to back up my argument? - Emotional resonance: Can I connect with my audience emotionally by telling an engaging story to win their minds and hearts? - Co-creation: How do I make them feel they are co-creating this idea with me? - Social proof: How do I show if I’ve gotten endorsements from other influential leaders? - Robustness: Can I present both the pros and cons of my idea so I invite them to have hard conversations and build confidence in my proposal?  It’s nearly impossible to remember so many pieces and know what to do each time… which is why I appreciate a solution like Grammarly. I’ve been using it to improve my writing. I’m excited to partner with Grammarly on the launch of their new strategic suggestions feature: it proactively helps me be more rigorous with my messaging. Grammarly’s AI predicts how my readers will respond before I hit send. It helps me tailor the messaging to my audience and suggests ways to make it resonate better with them. Wow! No more copying and pasting into GPT and crafting a long message to improve my writing. I can get help right as I write! Try Grammarly for free; see link in comments.
