Summary
Monica’s mostly anti-AI... so she challenged a futurist to change her mind || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/6pkTn-J_9MQ In this episode, Monica sits down with Futurist, Emmy Award-winning media entrepreneur, and creator of AI Dream Team™ , Natalie MacNeil, for a conversation on AI that covers ALL THE THINGS so many of us are thinking, but very few have been willing to ask out loud until now. Monica came into the conversation with mostly anti-AI sentiments and challenged Natalie to change her mind. Together, they explore what it actually looks like to work with AI ethically without losing your voice, your values, or your humanity, and where the ethical lines sit for anyone running a business and/or raising kids. If you’ve been shying away from AI because something about it feels off (because same!!), this is the episode for you. What you’ll also learn about: ✨ The fear versus hope of where AI is heading ✨ Is AI actually buying back your time? ✨ How to raise kids who can still think for themselves ✨ What will always stay human when machines can out-think all of us ✨ The MIT study everyone cites about AI being bad for your brain ✨ How to train AI so it challenges your thinking instead of validating everything you put into it ✨ Natalie’s rule of thumb on when and when not to use AI ✨ The environmental impact of AI (it’s crazy more people aren’t talking about this!?) ✨ How to run AI locally so none of your information is shared with data centers ✨ Why we’re all underpaying for AI right now, and how that may change in the future ✨ The jobs that will always be safe from being taken by AI +++++ As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Connect with Natalie — h ttps://www.instagram.com/nataliemacneil/ ⇢ NEW!
