5 critical transformations AI will drive in your life

What is your AI spirit animal? Are you a bull, an ostrich or a crocodile when it comes to the world of Artificial intelligence? As a transformational change specialist, I was meeting with a colleague, Matt, who runs a very successful media company as he outlined the challenges AI was creating for him and his staff. He was a huge fan of AI, explaining how it had revolutionised the process of creating attention-grabbing social media ads. The conversation then took a more serious turn as he crystal balled his future, believing that his booming business would no longer exist in the next 3 to 4 years because his customers would be able to leverage AI to do the same things he was charging them hundreds of thousands for.

He described the conversations his staff were having in response to AI. There were the ostriches who justified their future by saying that their human creativity would save them, then there were the bulls who were exploring the frontiers of AI and integrating it into their work. Then there were the crocodiles like Matt who are choosing to keep doing what they are until it no longer makes sense, but in the interim, develop a plan for transforming himself and his business to be AI-focused.

Here are 5 critical transformations that will change your life:

1. Become the expert in anything.
   While some jobs may not feel the influence of AI in the short term, the evolution of AI and robotics means that even manual jobs such as bricklaying will start to see more efficient tools and even robotic bricklayers who will be able to do our jobs faster and cheaper than we can. If you are a knowledge worker like a consultant, accountant, lawyer or creative then the impacts on our future are banging at our door. However, it is not all doom and gloom. I can now be a graphic designer, a writer, or explore options for new businesses and avoid those expensive experts by doing myself in minutes at no cost.
2. Health plans tailored to fit you
   The problem with many of the health and fitness plans we get bombarded with is they are one-size-fits-all. My age, biology, motivations, goals and my fitness levels are all unique to me. AI gives me the capability to leverage all the combined knowledge and then create a tailored plan based on my individual profile. Think custom fitness programs, real-time blood glucose feedback, and even epigenetic age tracking.
3. AI Love Coach
   Dating apps already use AI to improve match quality, but the future goes deeper. We’re talking sentiment analysis on your texts, AI wingmen that suggest icebreakers, and compatibility scoring based on values, not just abs and angles. Or having relationship trouble, no worries, AI has you there too. There is also an increasing number of couples turning to AI to help them through their tough times and it is way cheaper than a relationship therapist too.
4. Become the Boss
   The gurus of AI all say we are heading into the land of AI opportunity. Many of the next billion dollar businesses don’t exist today, but in the near AI future they will be created. To take advantage of this you need to have the crocodile approach to be able to strike when the opportunity arrives.  You can brainstorm product ideas, generate logos, write pitch decks, and build eCommerce sites, all while your actual mates are still deciding on a business name. Hustle culture meets jumping on board with the AI revolution, and opening the doors to entrepreneurship for anyone with Wi-Fi and an idea.
5. Emotional support when you need it
   We all have our ups and downs, but with AI we can now access support when we need it and at no cost. The future of psychology has AI firmly embedded in it AI tools are helping men track mood patterns, identify stress triggers, and even talk through tough stuff with bots trained in cognitive behavioural therapy.

The AI revolution is no longer just knocking on our door; it has barged in and is here to stay, influencing all corners of our lives. To succeed in this new world, and not be left behind, you need to move beyond the desire to go ostrich mode and ignore it, but rather let your inner bull run loose, so that your AI crocodile can use your learnings to plan for your AI successful future. Your critical AI transformation is within striking distance.
