Here are key points that we should be mindful of in these changing times.
1. Be proactive and not reactive in our approach to the changes that we see in business.
2. We have to make some hard decisions in our business life if we are to survive. So, lets prepare and support each other in the changes that will come.
3. We must use our imagination more. We must try to imagine what our jobs will look like before the changes come. Why? This way we can better prepared for what is coming.
4. We have to work with AI as best we can and do not ignore it. We have to embrace it and find a way as a TEAM to use it to our advantage. We need to better understand it to the best of our ability.
5. AI has demonstrated it can deliver strange results (called AI hallucinations). It would be best to have verification processes in place to ensure AI results are accurate.
6. Do not be dumb to topics that you engage AI on. Know what you are about and do not allow AI 100% control. In other words, do not be the ignorant watcher.

Dear AI,
