AI Is Our Amplified Intelligence

In today’s fast-paced world, the conversation around artificial intelligence often centers on the idea of displacement. However, that perspective misses a crucial point. AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to amplify us.

Think of it as a powerful new tool in our toolbox. Just as the invention of the calculator allowed us to perform complex math faster and more accurately, AI tools enable us to be more productive, creative, and strategic. They can handle the repetitive, data-heavy tasks, freeing up our time and energy to focus on what humans do best: critical thinking, innovation, and building relationships.

The real key to success in this new era isn’t a battle of human versus machine. Instead, it’s about learning how to work with AI. We must all become proficient in understanding its capabilities and limitations, discerning when and how to use it, and knowing how to evaluate the quality of its output. The ability to use AI as a partner will be a fundamental skill, one that empowers us to do our jobs faster, smarter, and better than ever before.

Unlock Your Micro-Learning Superpower for the AI Era

A month ago, I discussed Just-in-Time learning in our AI-driven world. Now, let’s talk about the superpower you need to truly thrive!

The pace of AI innovation is dizzying. With new breakthroughs daily, the gap between innovation and understanding is widening, leaving many overwhelmed. How do we keep up?

The answer is Micro-Learning.

Instead of trying to absorb massive amounts of information, leverage those fleeting moments throughout your day:

1️⃣ 5-minute coffee break? Watch a short explainer video on a new AI concept.

2️⃣ Waiting for a meeting? Read a quick article on the latest industry trends.

3️⃣ Commuting? Listen to a podcast segment on AI’s ethical implications.

These aren’t just “extra” moments; they’re opportunities for continuous, bite-sized learning. The power lies in how you learn. By integrating small, consistent learning moments, you can:

✅ Stay agile and adaptable: Keep pace without feeling overwhelmed.

✅ Build knowledge incrementally: Small pieces add up to comprehensive understanding.

✅ Reduce cognitive overload: Focus on one concept at a time for effective learning.

Our ability to continuously learn and evolve is key to thriving in the AI era. Let’s embrace micro-learning!

Happy Groundhog Day!

I’m not sure whether it’s another six more weeks of winter, after all I’m not the weatherman Phil. However, it also perfectly mirrors the cyclical nature of tech, especially IT. We see trends resurface, rebranded, promising revolution yet again. Sound familiar?

Think mainframes “dying” only to reappear, client-server’s rise, fall, and rise again, the endless churn of programming languages, and the constant security rollercoaster. It’s a daily Groundhog Day of repeating familiar patterns. And now we’re seeing it with newer tech too:

🌠 AI’s Hype Cycle: AI has been “the future” for decades, experiencing waves of hype and disillusionment. We’re currently in another cycle fueled by generative AI, but will it deliver on its promises or face another “AI winter”?

🌠 Web3’s Decentralized Dream: Web3 promises a decentralized internet, but echoes of past distributed systems and peer-to-peer networks resonate. Will it truly revolutionize the web, or is it just a repackaged version of earlier ideas?

🌠 Cloud’s Evolving Landscape: Cloud computing is constantly evolving, with new architectures and services emerging. But are we truly innovating, or just repeating patterns of centralized computing with a new name?

This isn’t all bad. We learn from past mistakes and refine existing tech. But we shouldn’t just blindly chase hype. We need:

✅ Strong Fundamentals: Core computer science principles are key, regardless of trends.

✅ Critical Evaluation: Don’t just jump on bandwagons. Assess true potential, especially with hyped tech like AI and Web3.

✅ Continuous Learning: The landscape evolves. Embrace lifelong learning to keep up with cloud advancements and the ever-changing tech world.

So, as we mark another Groundhog Day, let’s reflect on our industry’s cycles. Let’s learn, adapt, and build a future of real innovation, not just repeated days. Let’s break the cycle and find our spring of true tech advancement, even amidst the hype of AI, Web3, and the cloud.

Talk to us, let us help you to go thru this Groundhog Day, with strong technology fundamentals, proven use cases with business value and excellent training resources.

The Power of Continuous Learning: Training Your Brain Like an LLM

“The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.” – Eric Ries, The Lean Startup

This quote by Eric Ries has always resonated with me, especially as a seasoned IT professional. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, continuous learning is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity for staying ahead of the curve.

One powerful approach I’ve recently adopted is to think of my brain as a Large Language Model (LLM). Just like an LLM is trained on vast amounts of data to identify patterns and generate insights, I’ve been focusing on feeding my mind with diverse knowledge and experiences.

Over the past 12 months, I’ve embarked on a focused learning journey, immersing myself in a variety of in-house training courses and also external programs centered on Artificial Intelligence. I firmly believe that to truly grasp the transformative power of AI, we need to explore it from multiple angles. My goal was to develop a holistic understanding of AI, from its strategic implications for businesses to its potential for enhancing productivity and fostering trust.

Here are a few external programs I completed:

🏅 MIT Sloan – AI: Implications for Business Strategy Program
🏅 BSI – Shaping Trust in AI – Understanding 42001 Standard
🏅 ISACA – Auditing Gen AI: Strategy, Analysis & Risk Mitigation
🏅 IDEO U – AI for Design Thinking
🏅 Jeff Su Workplace Academy – Gemini for Productivity
🏅 Deeplearning – Multi AI Agent Systems with CrewAI
🏅 Deeplearning – Large Multimodal Model Prompting with Gemini

While everyone’s learning journey is unique, I encourage you to embrace the concept of continuous learning and consider how you can “train your brain” like an LLM. By consistently feeding your mind with new information and experiences, you can unlock your full potential and thrive in this era of rapid technological advancement.
