Hey Mary! Thanks for the question. I've found Jared Spataro's "AI at Work" videos to be useful inspiration for the organizational change guidance you're seeking.

1. employees struggle with the confidence to believe they can successfully master this new AI technology,
2. a lack of knowledge around which tasks are best suited to AI, and
3. the skills needed to maximize AI's potential.

My takeaways from the video were that leadership encouraging for their organization try AI and in-person trainings were most impactful. What do you think?

 

Here was the latest video I'm referring to: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jaredspa_ai-activity-7249443174991998976-dYGM?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop 

Great question! I worked on voice assistants all the way back to the early Windows Phone days (*before* Cortana!) and it's surprising how much is "old" at the same time it's "new" -- if you're familiar with voice assistant paradigms and ever struggled with the technology just "not being quite there yet" for a lot of useful scenarios, then much of this will feel very familiar. Building a rich, voice-in, voice-out product experience can be very complex to get *perfect,* but can also be surprisingly quick to get to a min-viable-product, "already delivers quite a bit of value" state. I'd highly recommend just playing around with either the playground or demo applications to get a feel for what kinds of things it makes possible; everyone I've shown off even the interactive console demos too seems to ask it to do different things, and everyone walks away with a different idea of what they'd like to do with it. But everyone's walking away wanting to make something!
