If you haven't been completely offline for the past months then you definitely know about the new advancements in A.I. and the lightning speed progress made by Large Language Models such as chatGPT, GPT4, BARD, Midjourney and others.

You're probably thinking or thought already:

• How is this technology going to affect my future?

• Am I going to lose my job?

• Will my skills and knowledge become obsolete?

I know this because I've been there already.

My initial reaction was a mix of despair and excitement.

The idea of such powerful technology transforming the world as we know it can be both thrilling and daunting.

But, I soon realized that the key to navigating this new era is adaptation and learning how to harness the potential of AI to our advantage.

Here's what I've learned and want to share with you:

1. Embrace change: Instead of fearing AI, embrace the opportunities it brings

2. Upskill and reskill: Continuously invest in yourself by learning new skills and staying updated on industry trends

3. Develop human-centric skills: Human creativity, empathy and critical thinking are traits that will not be replaced very soon by A.I.

4. Leverage AI as a tool: Learn how to leverage AI tools to enhance your productivity, creativity and decision-making

5. Stay informed: Keep yourself informed about the latest developments in AI and be aware of the ethical implications and potential biases that may arise from its use

In conclusion, AI is undoubtedly going to change our lives in profound ways.

Instead of fearing the unknown, embrace the opportunities it presents and strive to adapt and grow alongside it.
