00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:03.070
- "AI is one of the most important things"

2
00:00:03.070 --> 00:00:05.080
"humanity is working on."

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:10.000
"It is more profound than electricity or fire."

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.010
Those were the words Google CEO used to describe

5
00:00:13.010 --> 00:00:14.090
artificial intelligence.

6
00:00:14.090 --> 00:00:18.040
So, what exactly is artificial intelligence,

7
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:20.090
also known as AI?

8
00:00:20.090 --> 00:00:23.000
In simple terms, artificial intelligence

9
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000
is technology that replicates activities

10
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.090
that would normally require human involvement.

11
00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:32.090
This includes things like speech and facial recognition.

12
00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:35.070
I bet you used artificial intelligence today

13
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.020
and didn't even realize it.

14
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:38.020
Do you know why?

15
00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:40.080
Because it wasn't called AI.

16
00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:43.030
You see, when something becomes the norm,

17
00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:47.010
it's no longer looked at as the novelty it once was.

18
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:49.050
For example, it wasn't long ago

19
00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:52.050
that GPS navigation apps were the talk of the town.

20
00:00:52.050 --> 00:00:55.000
Everyone was amazed how this technology

21
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.050
could find the quickest route from Point A to Point B

22
00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:01.060
and even avoid the worst traffic jams.

23
00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:05.030
Did you ever stop to think what powers these apps?

24
00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:07.010
Probably not.

25
00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:10.010
All you care about is that the apps work.

26
00:01:10.010 --> 00:01:12.090
Well, it's artificial intelligence.

27
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:15.060
Although GPS navigation apps might not

28
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:17.040
be new and exciting anymore,

29
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.000
artificial intelligence is still at play.

30
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.040
These apps combine satellite data with things like

31
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.080
current traffic patterns

32
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:26.040
to give you the best route

33
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.030
and today you can find many AI powered products

34
00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:33.000
and even AI augmented services.

35
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.090
As it relates to Project Management,

36
00:01:35.090 --> 00:01:40.060
AI continues to encroach upon traditional managerial tasks.

37
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:43.000
This is why it'll be increasingly important

38
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.000
for you to leverage AI to do your job better

39
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.000
rather than stay complacent and get displaced by it.
