Coaching for the Artificial Intelligence Revolution

Exponentially developing technology-especially artificial intelligence (AI)-brings huge promise but also confusing peril. AI has been called "The new electricity," and 9.5 out of 10 CEOs expect their job to be disrupted by it. One study predicts nearly half of all jobs will be automated within 15 years. AI learning models double in size every 3 months and affect every aspect of our lives from our smartphones to our grocery stores to our schools. There are even AI applications for coaching.

Moving our AI relationship from "It's Complicated" to "Engaged"

Have you ever been on a blind date? Do you remember how joyfully you looked forward to it? If by chance your answer is: "No", then consider this: We technologists are setting the human race up for its biggest blind date in history: AI. The average person has no idea whether they're going to meet the person of their dreams, or a nose-picking narcissist that'll stiff them on the bill. AI communication expert Peter Scott asks: How are your matchmaking skills?
