Transcripts
according to all of these research
reports mastering AI skills can increase
your productivity from 14% to 60%
greater increase your quality of life
and make you happier because you can
focus on the things that you like doing
the most this is wonderful news but what
ASI skills should we be learning in
order to achieve these results these
reports usually don't get into that part
but is a legitimate question because you
can't possibly learn everything it feels
like there's a new AI breakthrough or a
new AI product happening every single
week if not every single day in this
video we're going to see p all the hype
and focus on the core fundamental AI
skills the AI skills that are most worth
learning the highest Roi skills in the
age of AI thank you HubSpot for
sponsoring a portion of this
[Music]
video the best way to determine what are
the actually important skills is by
looking at the growing industry Trends
because in demand skills follow the
trends So the faster growing the trend
the more in demand and relevant the
skill is I have spent hundreds of hours
reading AI reports on statistics ICS and
Trends and also testing out different AI
Technologies now diving a little bit
deeper into exactly which parts are
growing the most and of most relevance
the first one is productivity there are
so many AI productivity tools that are
coming out and according to this report
by Forbes 64% of businesses expect AI to
increase their productivity with up to
50% of people saying that their
productivity is already increased the
most common use cases involve responding
to email communication messages followed
by answering Financial questions like
withdraw my life savings please and by
planning travel travel itineries the
second large area of focus is in
misinformation and privacy over 75% of
consumers are concerned about
misinformation from AI with many people
also concerned with big companies like
Google and open AI using their
information on no ways what if knowing
about your health data is able to
predict the kind of Health that you have
and maybe the kind of insurance that you
have or the things that you're saying to
AI can be used against you in some way
now one of the most prominent and media
cover Trends is how AI is affecting our
jobs there's been tons of research that
has gone into this field analyzing the
skills that I needed for a job how
easily it is that it can be automated
the general consensus though is that AI
is going to be taking away more jobs
than it is going to contribute towards
most
jobs AI is incredible it can do this and
this and this but if you don't know how
to interact with AI properly you may get
this this and this and a lot of
frustration that is why the most
important foundational skill that you
need to learn is prompt engineering
which is the process in which you're
guiding the AI in order to generate your
desired outputs for example if you tell
her to directly write the history of
American Space Program it will write
something up for you but there's going
to be hallucinations where AI is just
going to make something up and it just
kind of like sounds off you know like it
just has that AI vibe to it American
space travel has been a symbol of
innovation exploration and human
achievement from the early days of the
Space Race to the modern era of
commercial space flights the United
States has played a pivotal role in
expanding Humanity's presence beyond
Earth but if you prompt it correctly you
can get amazing results for example I
have what I call like a five-step
framework on how you should be using it
to generate written content the first
one is to start off with using AI to
brainstorm asking questions about the
Space Program uh who are the key players
in the space program what's the
implication of that culturally speaking
so just generally have a better idea of
what it is that you're going to write
then you can use this information and
then ask it to create an outline of what
it is that you wanted to write for
example you can specify that you wanted
to be 3,000 words it is something that
is used for your essay for class and ask
you to cite its sources so you can
actually double check the things that
it's talking about and make sure that
the sources um actually say these things
as well then the next step is to work
with AI to tweak the outline you can ask
it to change the structure of how the
paragraphs are formed you can ask it to
change some of the bullet points in
order to better fit your thesis then
after after that you can finally
actually start writing DSA writing it by
bullet point by bullet point and
tweaking it along the way this iterative
approach to using AI is something that
can vastly change the results of your
output it is also a defense against
hallucinations that the AI has a
tendency to do anyways this is one of
the Frameworks one of the techniques
that you can use to get better results
as we can see AI tools such as Chachi BT
are really powerful and can help you be
much more productive something that is a
crucial skill for you to keep up with
the future HubSpot has a whole bundle of
resources designed to help you unlock
lock the full potential of chat gbt and
make you super productive it's very well
laid out and gives you a lot of ideas on
how to incorporate chat gbt for example
using Chach PT to consolidate different
research material like articles and
tutorials and papers so instead of
having to flip through all the research
material by yourself you can directly
ask Chach BT questions related to those
resources or keeping up to date with
news and updates time management Tas
prioritization as well they also have
this nice flowchart on when it's
appropriate to use chat TPT to solve a
problem or streamline your workflow my
favorite part is that it gives you over
a 100 prompts to use in chat PT which is
really useful because prompting and
prompt engineering is so important in
using chbt the best part is that it is
completely free I highly recommend that
you download it in this link over here
also linked in description thank you so
much HubSpot for providing these free
resources to help us Leverage The Power
of AI and for sponsoring this portion of
the video let's meet our friend Sammy
Samy is your rather typical white collar
worker working as a consultant he has
three tasks assigned to him for today
the first one is to read through a lot
of papers and articles in order to do
research on agriculture techniques then
he needs to take that data and make some
relevant visualizations and finally he
has to do a PowerPoint to Showcase to
the client everything that he discovered
and give his recommendations now this
would have taken him the whole day to do
but with the help of AI he can use chat
GPT or even create himself an agent
called a GPT that can do this research
for him he can scour the internet uh for
the most relevant research papers and be
able to summarize them as well he can
then use use Microsoft C- pallet on
Excel and start doing some cleanup and
visualizations it's not perfect but it
gets a large part of that grunt work
done then he can use co-pilot in
PowerPoint and prompted to make a
beautiful PowerPoint based upon his
research and the visualizations he
created so instead of spending the whole
day and probably a few hours after as
well doing these tasks he finishes this
in like a couple hours and then chills
for the rest of the day yet he still
prays for his quality and the Aesthetics
of his
work now like I said earlier there's a
lot of other hype tools that claim to
make you so much more productive and it
does to some extent but it's not worth
the ROI paying for some sort of
subscription but I do want to share some
of my favorite tools the first one is
harpa. a this is wonderful for
summarizing different articles but
especially for video content YouTube
video content it's able to derive the
notes from YouTube videos and it can
also help you take that information and
put it into content this a completely
free tool and they're releasing new
features very frequently hey Jen is an
interesting one it's for cloning
yourself including your voice I like to
use this to pretend to be myself in
certain
circumstances am I actually Tina or a
clone of Tina right now who knows
speechify is wonderful it's able to take
any text information and change that
into audio format I learned very well
through audio format so this has been
really really helpful for those of you
who code I'm sure that you've heard
about GitHub co-pilot and there's a lot
of plugins now in your favorite IDs I'm
really interested in learning more about
Alpha code 2 from Google uh when it does
get released learning these AI tools
will make you much more productive and
this is a skill that is going to be in
higher and higher demand um especially
since other people are going to be
trying to be more productive as well so
to stay ahead of that curve you need to
be learning these skills as well I like
my privacy you know I do too that's
another thing we have in common now
let's talk about misinformation and
privacy more and more people are
becoming more cognizant of
misinformation and of privacy and for a
really good reason incorrect information
can spread like wildfire and even if you
correct it afterwards it still leaves an
impression the creators of AI do try to
put in some safeguards for
misinformation but it's really not that
hard to get around it and there's a
tendency for large language models to
hallucinate anyway this is a big problem
for individuals and also for companies
because they would ruin their reputation
if they were just saying things that
were not true this is why learning
skills in order to limit these
hallucinations limit the access of
misinformation is really important
asking AI to site its sources is
probably the easiest thing that you can
do just make sure that you actually go
through these sources and the things
that are being said from the AI is in
fact the same as those primary sources
there's also tools out there that can
help you determine if something is
misinformation or not I'll leave a link
in the description if you want to check
those out but it's definitely a skill
that you want to pay attention to Now
privacy is also huge say you have a lot
of sensitive data just information that
you don't want other people to know and
you want to be able to analyze it and
derive information from it uh you could
put it into chat gbt and it's able to do
that but maybe you don't want it to have
that information or just straight out
you're not allowed to do that a lot of
companies are not going to even let you
upload it into a large language model
like gbd4 so this is where open- Source
models come in these are ones that you
can download were also use on the cloud
in which you can feed it information and
you can control who it is that can have
access to it so it's not going to be
like those close source gbd4 and you
don't know what that information is
being used for it also allows for more
flexibility in you being able to change
the model to do certain things that are
more useful to you so you're making sure
that no information is being leaked out
you don't even need to have internet
connection in that case the first Common
technique that's really helpful for open
source model model is fine-tuning them
you have the ability of tweaking the
model by feeding it specifically certain
types of data and changing the weights
within the model so you can get it to do
more specific things better another
technique is called rag which is a way
of enhancing the accuracy and the
Precision of the outputs by giving a
database that it's able to real time
search up let me know in the comments we
can actually do a live stream in which I
go into more tutorial or more technical
things that we can do all right last
Trend we're going to talk about perhaps
one of the most prominent Trends is jobs
generally speaking researchers believe
that there's going to be more jobs that
are taken away by AI than it is being
created the exact ratio of this is hard
to determine at least right now um as
more data comes in I'm sure that we're
going to have more accurate predictions
so without commenting so much about what
we can possibly do to change society as
a whole and the jobs that will be
happening that is beyond the scope of
most people I believe unless you are
very high up in the policymaking stuff
but at least for yourself in order to
protect yourself against potential job
loss you should consider taking all the
the different AI skills that you learn
and putting them together to create
something that is even more powerful
that is by developing your own AI
product you've learned about prompt
engineering techniques and gain a lot of
intuition for how to interact with AI
you've used a lot of AI products so now
you can actually start building your AI
products and be able to integrate them
into certain businesses to help
businesses themselves be more productive
and achieve their goals over 50 to 60%
of companies really want to use AI to
improve their businesses and see a lot
of value in doing this the issue is that
there's actually not that many people
who are capable of doing this you want
to be one of those people these days you
can actually get away with a lot of no
code tools if you're not into coding by
using a combination of different tools
that are chained together I'll also link
some of the resources below for the
things that you can actually make and I
would say doing this probably covers
like 80% off of all the use cases out
there but if you really want to take
this a step further and learn a skill
that is even more valuable you then need
to gain a better understanding of how AI
models work for example how do large
language models work how is it that AI
videos are being generated so in order
to do this you do need to learn how to
code you'll be able to fine-tune things
you'll be able to use rag you'll be able
to host different models because when
new technologies come out it's always
going to be code first before they're
develop into no code or low code tools
the research shows that AI supported
roles like AI engineering AI product
development data analyst ml Ops these
are all expected to be roles that will
grow increasingly more important and
have more opportunities so if you're
interested in learning more about how
how to use Ai and from a more technical
perspective I also recommend you check
out my program that I have called Lonely
octopus we teach people these AI skills
we go pretty technical as well so you're
able to really gain that skill set that
puts you ahead of other people but yeah
that is all I have for you guys today I
hope this is helpful um in terms of what
skills that you should be learning in
order to achieve more of these results
let me know in the comments below if
there's other skills or other tools uh
that you would also think is useful that
I haven't mentioned I would love to
check those out as well I'll see you in
the next video or live stream
