About this episode
David Chestnut joins to discuss the misconceptions about AI and its role in expertise and leadership.
David Chestnut joins us to rethink one of the biggest assumptions about AI enablement. We explore why AI isn’t a replacement for expertise, what AI is great at, what it’s terrible at, what ever happened to prompt engineering, and how context and delegation are becoming critical leadership capabilities. 00:00 Cold Open 01:12 Bob's Big Announcement 04:08 David's Journey into Learning 15:12 Challenges and future of AI 16:08 Limitations of GenAI 20:39 What ever happen to prompt engineering 22:26 The Importance of Context 24:52 Teaching AI Delegation 30:00 Future of AI and Human Expertise 30:48 Closing Remarks and Upcoming Events LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE, SPOTIFY, AND YOUTUBE Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-learning-geeks-podcast/id1413446184 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7mACo97JvUL1LOmVJ9lATI?si=c430a6d9b08c4100 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@learninggeekspodcast You can also download us anywhere you get your podcasts.
