Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Let's talk about using artificial intelligence to help organize information
- 0:05Speaker 1: rather than creating new ideas and concepts, and why that's
- 0:08Speaker 1: important if you're a subject matter expert, an entrepreneur, or
- 0:12Speaker 1: an executive. I'm just hit from inside strategic relations, where
- 0:16Speaker 1: we help you think critically and gain clarity about decision
- 0:21Speaker 1: making because you are using tools in an appropriate way.
- 0:26Speaker 1: So right up front, I will tell you that I
- 0:29Speaker 1: do use artificial intelligence, but I also use machine learning,
- 0:34Speaker 1: natural language processing and other tool text analysis tools to
- 0:39Speaker 1: look over my body of work that I've created for
- 0:41Speaker 1: the last thirty thirty five years and helps in using
- 0:45Speaker 1: it to help organize ideas and concepts.
- 0:48Speaker 2: However, I just a hit do not.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Use AI to create the actual content itself. And the
- 0:56Speaker 1: reason I don't do that is because, and you may
- 0:59Speaker 1: have I've seen these articles as well, is that forty
- 1:02Speaker 1: two percent of AI responses are blatantly incorrect. AI will
- 1:09Speaker 1: make up ideas, it will make up bullet points, it'll
- 1:13Speaker 1: come up with stats that don't exist, it'll have citations
- 1:16Speaker 1: that are incorrect, it'll hallucinate, it'll misunderstand the prompt and
- 1:21Speaker 1: provide you something that with cognitive So if you write
- 1:25Speaker 1: the prompt and it gives you a response that sounds appropriate.
- 1:29Speaker 2: There's a cognitive bias.
- 1:31Speaker 1: In your mind that this is the answer because AI
- 1:34Speaker 1: gave it to you.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And so all those.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Things together give you a forty two percent error rate,
- 1:41Speaker 1: in some cases a fifty percent error rate. You might
- 1:43Speaker 1: as well flip a coin to see whether or not
- 1:44Speaker 1: the output is relevant. And so for using it beyond
- 1:48Speaker 1: organizing factual information, then we put ourselves at risk of,
- 1:55Speaker 1: you know, looking stupid. And so if you make a
- 1:57Speaker 1: claim that X, Y and Z is a thing, and
- 2:01Speaker 1: you've talked to the machine about it, and you've talked
- 2:04Speaker 1: to the committees about it, and you've done very surface
- 2:08Speaker 1: level research, you may find yourself in a bad situation.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And in fact, there could be legal liability, reputational risk,
- 2:16Speaker 1: or other risks associated with that. And so, how do
- 2:19Speaker 1: we use artificial intelligence in a way that's going to
- 2:23Speaker 1: improve our ability to discern from information better decisions? And
- 2:30Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you how I'm doing it
- 2:32Speaker 1: with some of the modern tools that are available, But
- 2:34Speaker 1: I want to also give you some strategies so that
- 2:36Speaker 1: as tools evolve, because there could be a time where
- 2:39Speaker 1: AI is one hundred percent correct in the response. But
- 2:42Speaker 1: because you're prompt wasn't clear that response is not appropriate
- 2:47Speaker 1: to the action and outcome that you need. So we
- 2:49Speaker 1: start with outcome management. What is the outcome that we
- 2:53Speaker 1: want to create? So I have in front of me
- 2:56Speaker 1: all the material So I bought the rights to some
- 2:58Speaker 1: materials by a copyright named Patrick Quinn, and I've got
- 3:02Speaker 1: all of his materials.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I've got his unpublished books. I've got some.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Transcripts and everything I could find about Patrick Quinn in
- 3:12Speaker 1: Google Notebook. So Google Notebook LM is an AI powered
- 3:18Speaker 1: tool designed to help you organize, summarize, and analyze documents.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And so first off, we got to make sure we
- 3:24Speaker 1: got the appropriate tool. I don't want to have to
- 3:27Speaker 1: train an AI model on Patrick Quinn's materials and maintain
- 3:30Speaker 1: a separate AI model that's just this one author's materials
- 3:35Speaker 1: in order to create derivative works. So again we want
- 3:38Speaker 1: to choose the appropriate environment. Then we also want to
- 3:42Speaker 1: structure that data set. Now, Notebook LM lets us put
- 3:46Speaker 1: in all of our PDF documents and videos and past
- 3:51Speaker 1: newsletter articles into a library of sources. Now it doesn't
- 3:55Speaker 1: do a very good job letting me clean up these sources,
- 3:58Speaker 1: but I can always download source, clean it up, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: upload it again as a new source and delete the
- 4:03Speaker 1: one that it was old. The reason I'm telling you
- 4:05Speaker 1: this is because we can very often organize and structure.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Data in order to get AI to give us a
- 4:12Speaker 2: better result.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So, if I have five documents that have biographical information
- 4:19Speaker 1: about Patrick Quinn, and I come back and write a
- 4:22Speaker 1: summary of those materials, even if it's a bullet point list,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and I add the summary linking to the in depth
- 4:29Speaker 1: materials notebook, LM will do a better job of giving
- 4:32Speaker 1: me nuanced responses. And so I can say, tell me
- 4:36Speaker 1: about Patrick Quinn's life in such and such time, and
- 4:41Speaker 1: it will. If I have a list of clients during
- 4:43Speaker 1: a time period on a timeline, if I have articles
- 4:47Speaker 1: in a timeline, then it can come back with something
- 4:50Speaker 1: relevant to that time period because the prompt is asking
- 4:52Speaker 1: about a time period. Now, when I ask you to
- 4:55Speaker 1: do something, I'm not going to say write an article
- 4:57Speaker 1: about I'm going to more appropriately, I'm going to ask
- 5:01Speaker 1: a question, and then I'm going to say, give me
- 5:03Speaker 1: a list of tips, ideas, and concepts. Because I do
- 5:06Speaker 1: know I know the information to a certain degree, but
- 5:11Speaker 1: I do know if it gives me a list of
- 5:12Speaker 1: twenty two tips, that some of those are just gonna
- 5:15Speaker 1: be blatantly wrong. Again, it could be forty two percent,
- 5:18Speaker 1: it could be ten percent, but I am making the
- 5:21Speaker 1: decision or creating the discernment necessary to digest this information.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Now, your error rate increases.
- 5:30Speaker 1: As you use AI generated materials to feed your overall model,
- 5:37Speaker 1: because basically notebook LM is creating small models.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And so what you have to.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Do here is to make sure you're just like when
- 5:45Speaker 1: you're doing functional research, and I get paid to commissions
- 5:49Speaker 1: to write research, so I'm really firm on the research methods,
- 5:54Speaker 1: coming up with a thesis, and then going and doing
- 5:57Speaker 1: your primary research, and then testing your thesis, and then
- 6:00Speaker 1: coming in and you know, looking at a counter thesis.
- 6:03Speaker 1: A lot of these elements help you make better decisions.
- 6:06Speaker 1: They take time. But if you go back to your
- 6:09Speaker 1: sources and refine your sources to be primary materials and
- 6:15Speaker 1: you don't feed it back other AI, not even in
- 6:18Speaker 1: the summaries, by the way, you have to go through
- 6:20Speaker 1: and read the materials and use your brain to rewrite
- 6:23Speaker 1: it in your own words in order to summarize those materials,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and then clearly give the document author attribution. So in
- 6:31Speaker 1: this case, Patrick quinn materials are clearly defined as Patrick
- 6:35Speaker 1: Quinn author, but any derivatives that I'm making are defined
- 6:39Speaker 1: as or any summaries or you know, mind maps or.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Outlines are clearly defined as just and hit.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I'm producing those things so that when I ask, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 1: provide a tip sheet of what Patrick Quinn recommends, updating
- 6:56Speaker 1: for modern systems and future proofing with proven advice. I
- 7:01Speaker 1: know right up front that I've said specifically, look at
- 7:04Speaker 1: Patrick Quinn's material there's kind of a test in there
- 7:07Speaker 1: to see if it's still relevant today. But that large
- 7:11Speaker 1: language model is going to test against average, and we
- 7:14Speaker 1: don't want average results.
- 7:16Speaker 2: So when I get a.
- 7:17Speaker 1: List back, I'm looking at what is appropriate to my audience,
- 7:21Speaker 1: what is appropriate to my audience within the context of
- 7:25Speaker 1: what I know about Patrick Quinn's materials. Now, if there
- 7:29Speaker 1: are any failures in there, it will be my understanding
- 7:33Speaker 1: of the materials that causes the failure. And ultimately it's
- 7:37Speaker 1: acceptable failure because I can do something about it. If
- 7:40Speaker 1: I take the AI stuff as gospel, because it's you know,
- 7:43Speaker 1: I've feted all this guy's materials and it said this
- 7:46Speaker 1: material contains such as now I gotta still fact check.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Because we want to bridge materials from the nineteen seventies
- 7:54Speaker 1: and nineteen eighties to modern application, I have to have
- 7:58Speaker 1: the subject matter expertise to do that. And so a
- 8:01Speaker 1: lot of times what happens, and I've talked about this
- 8:03Speaker 1: when we're searching the internet, is that if you have
- 8:06Speaker 1: subject matter expertise, you're going to work more efficiently. You're
- 8:10Speaker 1: going to work more effectively creating materials than AI would,
- 8:15Speaker 1: or you would doing general search on the internet, because
- 8:19Speaker 1: you've got a primary source. You've got your experience, you've
- 8:23Speaker 1: got your understanding, you've got case studies that you produced.
- 8:26Speaker 1: So your time and effort should be in creating those
- 8:28Speaker 1: primary source materials, which are case studies, definition of terms,
- 8:35Speaker 1: the documentation of processes and procedures, and then from there
- 8:38Speaker 1: having a staff member create derivative work. I used to
- 8:41Speaker 1: hire a lot of researchers and folks that understand research
- 8:44Speaker 1: methods to create that draft. And again you might be saying, well,
- 8:49Speaker 1: why not just have AI create the draft? Well, no,
- 8:52Speaker 1: I want writers. I want authors. I want human creators
- 8:56Speaker 1: because I have a human audience.
- 9:00Speaker 2: And if that seems.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Like a lot of effort or anything, then I need
- 9:03Speaker 1: to do that. So I can ask AI to give
- 9:05Speaker 1: me one hundred and one headlines based on these headline formulas,
- 9:10Speaker 1: and then I can pick and choose out of there.
- 9:12Speaker 1: And then for everything I pick and choose, I need
- 9:14Speaker 1: to go through and have a very clear reason why
- 9:19Speaker 1: I chose that material based on the outcome that I'm
- 9:22Speaker 1: looking for. Now, he might be saying AI promised to
- 9:25Speaker 1: make things easier. Well, so did the Internet, so did notebooks,
- 9:31Speaker 1: so did computers. Nothing makes it easier when the results matter.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And so when we're going through this process, and particularly
- 9:39Speaker 1: on notebook LM, we're curating the sources, we're thinking about
- 9:45Speaker 1: the prompts. We want the prompt to something that I
- 9:49Speaker 1: would have given to a human, I would have given
- 9:51Speaker 1: to a researcher, and then from there I have to
- 9:54Speaker 1: make decisions.
- 9:55Speaker 2: About whether the materials are useful or not.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Now, in one hundred percent of what I'm writing, this
- 10:00Speaker 1: is only like five to ten percent of what I'm doing,
- 10:02Speaker 1: because ultimately I need to take my experiences, my client's experiences,
- 10:07Speaker 1: lessons learned, primary research, and make it applicable to the
- 10:12Speaker 1: specific problems that my client's face. So again we're outcome oriented.
- 10:17Speaker 1: We've defined the problems up front that we're trying.
- 10:19Speaker 2: To solve for.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We're not looking for AI to give us new ideas
- 10:23Speaker 1: and concepts because it can't.
- 10:26Speaker 2: AI itself is pulling from a general model of knowledge.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It may have scanned hundreds of thousands of primary research documents,
- 10:37Speaker 1: but it hasn't evaluated every document for legitimacy.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And we do know that right now.
- 10:43Speaker 1: A lot of even you go to a Google Scholar
- 10:46Speaker 1: for example, a lot of these platforms have research papers
- 10:50Speaker 1: that are redacted all the time because they were not
- 10:53Speaker 1: well structured or organized research. But also AI is training
- 10:57Speaker 1: on historical materials as well as present materials, so there'll
- 11:00Speaker 1: be a conflict with material that may have been redacted after.
- 11:04Speaker 2: The model was produced.
- 11:06Speaker 1: So how else might I use AI? Well, I actually
- 11:10Speaker 1: don't primary use AI. I actually use some machine learning.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So there's an addar index that can tell me about
- 11:18Speaker 1: documents that are linked to each other. I'm based on
- 11:20Speaker 1: those links, what other things should be probably linked to
- 11:23Speaker 1: those or what might be linked to it. Still have
- 11:25Speaker 1: to make a decision myself of what should be I
- 11:28Speaker 1: used your card, which is based on the context of
- 11:30Speaker 1: these materials, what other topics or documents in my note
- 11:34Speaker 1: set are related to that, And then of course I'll
- 11:37Speaker 1: do abstractions, I'll do outlines I.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Might do before I write a report.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I might look at the problems, the pains, the solutions,
- 11:44Speaker 1: the actions that I'm asking the audience to take, and
- 11:47Speaker 1: then I may build a book proposal if I'm writing
- 11:51Speaker 1: a book. Again, the AI is no different than hiring
- 11:56Speaker 1: some wet behind the year college student to go through
- 11:58Speaker 1: the library and dig through some materials. They have very
- 12:01Speaker 1: little discernment about what is appropriate and what is not
- 12:05Speaker 1: appropriate for the specific application of information. Now, if you're marketing,
- 12:10Speaker 1: for example, you can use AI to give you an
- 12:13Speaker 1: oppression of these materials. Hey, based on these materials, who
- 12:16Speaker 1: do you think within this audience is going to be
- 12:19Speaker 1: most motivated and why? And you can get their AI's opinion,
- 12:24Speaker 1: But ultimately you have to make a decision. Another factor
- 12:27Speaker 1: to understand is that there's certain structure to languish. Now
- 12:33Speaker 1: we talk more about this in AD briefings copywriting tips,
- 12:36Speaker 1: because there's certain structures that sell better than others, like
- 12:39Speaker 1: the AI DA formula, which is attention, interest, desire and
- 12:43Speaker 1: action is a structure which is used for advertising to
- 12:47Speaker 1: help take someone from general awareness of a topic into
- 12:52Speaker 1: a specific point of interest, and then from the specific
- 12:55Speaker 1: point of interest into.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Asking them to take action.
- 12:59Speaker 1: If we structure our information well or we ask ai
- 13:04Speaker 1: to extract into a structure that actually works pretty good.
- 13:08Speaker 1: And when I was in college, which I was in
- 13:11Speaker 1: college since I got out of high school until I
- 13:13Speaker 1: was forty forty something years old, I will take college
- 13:16Speaker 1: classes because MIT and at different universities have open classes.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I'll take a college class just because I'm interested in
- 13:22Speaker 1: a topic. But my biggest challenge has been either MLS
- 13:27Speaker 1: formatting or APA formatting. And so when I was at
- 13:31Speaker 1: Arizona State University, I ended up hiring teachers, assistants or
- 13:35Speaker 1: actual professors at other universities in order to review my
- 13:39Speaker 1: final document to make sure it was properly formatted, because
- 13:44Speaker 1: I've had fifty percent of the grade taken off because
- 13:48Speaker 1: I couldn't get the APA formatting right. I don't know
- 13:51Speaker 1: what the hell it is. I wasn't getting the APA
- 13:53Speaker 1: formatting right. But today, if I need an APA format
- 13:56Speaker 1: a document, I can go ahead and write my original materials.
- 13:59Speaker 1: I can do citations using zoto. I can have my
- 14:03Speaker 1: document written in PANDOC, I can process it through a bibliography.
- 14:07Speaker 1: And this may not make sense to you, but we
- 14:09Speaker 1: can help you with this if you're producing reports to
- 14:11Speaker 1: promote your consulting services, if you're writing technical documents and
- 14:15Speaker 1: you want to streamline that process.
- 14:16Speaker 2: But I could ask AI to give me feedback.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Now, I didn't ask it to transform the document to
- 14:24Speaker 1: make an APA format, but I could say, give me
- 14:27Speaker 1: feedback on where I am not aligned with APA version, whatever, whatever, whatever,
- 14:34Speaker 1: And I could get faster feedback than hiring a third
- 14:37Speaker 1: party to review my document. I could get some tutoring
- 14:42Speaker 1: associated on how to improve it and make it better
- 14:44Speaker 1: in the future, because I sincerely want to make sincerely
- 14:47Speaker 1: want to make it right the first time.
- 14:49Speaker 2: But it allows me.
- 14:50Speaker 1: A little bit more flexibility to focus on the core materials. Now,
- 14:54Speaker 1: what I don't do is say, hey, rewrite this document
- 14:57Speaker 1: into APA format, because very often it'll rewrite the document
- 15:01Speaker 1: because your prompt is tokenized, and if it says rewrite
- 15:05Speaker 1: the document use APA format, it may change context and
- 15:10Speaker 1: character of the document, and then I'm going to end
- 15:12Speaker 1: up spending an extra time reading the document itself in
- 15:15Speaker 1: order to make sure it didn't change something that's important. Again,
- 15:20Speaker 1: AI makes up facts and figures. It may think it's
- 15:22Speaker 1: helping me, but it's not necessarily helping me. So again
- 15:26Speaker 1: I can write a document, I can get feedback on
- 15:29Speaker 1: that document. With AI, I can go through the sessions
- 15:33Speaker 1: and ask specific questions and finish the document off. Now,
- 15:38Speaker 1: when I was writing commissioned papers, so there was a
- 15:42Speaker 1: period of time where I was writing commissioned doctoral and
- 15:45Speaker 1: master's thesiss and in that case I would create the
- 15:49Speaker 1: materials appropriate within subject matter expertise of business development and
- 15:56Speaker 1: risk management, or areas I had intense interest, some agricultural,
- 16:02Speaker 1: some environmental. I did a big paper on art for
- 16:05Speaker 1: somebody who was getting a I guess they're getting a
- 16:07Speaker 1: master's in art. But long story short. Even then, I
- 16:13Speaker 1: would interview them to extract the details, create the primary
- 16:17Speaker 1: sources based on the assignment. The outcome is the assignment,
- 16:21Speaker 1: and then I would build out the document and I
- 16:24Speaker 1: would build out the drafts, and then I would have
- 16:27Speaker 1: them review the drafts. The primary reviewing the drafts, giving
- 16:30Speaker 1: me feedback, and then ultimately I would produce the document
- 16:35Speaker 1: for their approval.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Then I would get.
- 16:38Speaker 1: The formatting done for whatever the MLS or APA, mostly
- 16:42Speaker 1: through a contractor, and then I would give it back
- 16:45Speaker 1: to them with deliberate errors in the system. I would
- 16:49Speaker 1: ask them to finish the document off and then I
- 16:53Speaker 1: would review the document looking for the deliberate errors in
- 16:56Speaker 1: the system, and if they didn't fix the deliberate errors
- 17:00Speaker 1: in the system, because I told them there are things
- 17:02Speaker 1: in this document that I have made incorrect on purpose,
- 17:06Speaker 1: because again, if you're going for a doctorate or you're
- 17:08Speaker 1: going for a master's degree. A lot of these were
- 17:10Speaker 1: busy executives, entrepreneurs, people who really didn't have that much time.
- 17:14Speaker 2: But we could do maybe a three hour phone.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Interview from time to time, and then I would go
- 17:19Speaker 1: out and actually do primary research and build the citations
- 17:22Speaker 1: and stuff. Long story short, if they turned in that
- 17:26Speaker 1: paper and the professor actually read it, they're going to not.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Look very good.
- 17:30Speaker 1: And I would do that on purpose, because the integrity
- 17:34Speaker 1: of the document itself was their research, their thought, their mind.
- 17:40Speaker 1: The practical challenge was that they didn't have the time
- 17:43Speaker 1: or resources to go through and finish it. You know,
- 17:46Speaker 1: they could pay me five to ten thousand dollars to
- 17:48Speaker 1: do the work, of which I'd hire contractors and organize
- 17:51Speaker 1: everything for them, but ultimately it had to be their work.
- 17:55Speaker 1: If you're taking what AI gives you, there's a very
- 17:58Speaker 1: high probability of this. Some of these errors are built
- 18:01Speaker 1: in checksums in the system I personally, and part of
- 18:05Speaker 1: some of the services we provide our clients is we
- 18:08Speaker 1: will taint the LLM models, the large language models. Now,
- 18:12Speaker 1: what I mean by taming the model, it's basically curating
- 18:16Speaker 1: what the AI says about you as an individual consultant
- 18:19Speaker 1: or a marketer, or a copywriter or an author of
- 18:21Speaker 1: a book. Because AI is if you publish a book tomorrow,
- 18:24Speaker 1: AI isn't going to know about it.
- 18:26Speaker 2: The day after that.
- 18:27Speaker 1: So we do things to prompt AI to better understand
- 18:33Speaker 1: your position in context in the marketplace. So the book
- 18:36Speaker 1: I've put together about establishing instant credibility, while I don't
- 18:39Speaker 1: cover this topic, we are seeding the environment so that
- 18:43Speaker 1: the next time the language model refreshes, it knows about
- 18:47Speaker 1: you over anybody else. Now, if that's possible, then it's
- 18:52Speaker 1: going to attribute to a perpetual inaccuracy of information. If
- 18:57Speaker 1: you're going to make buying decisions, if you're going to
- 19:00Speaker 1: do primary research, if you're going to solve business problems.
- 19:05Speaker 1: And so again, the AI is an assistant. It can
- 19:09Speaker 1: consume massive volumes of information, but if you're not going
- 19:12Speaker 1: back into the primary sources to fully contextualize and understand it,
- 19:17Speaker 1: understand it, you will create materials that are blatantly wrong.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Now, again, I don't know if it's on purpose.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just part of the fact
- 19:25Speaker 1: that it has such a broad scope of information, But
- 19:28Speaker 1: I do know that that process itself is going to
- 19:31Speaker 1: allow you to.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Speak and promptu or extraneously.
- 19:36Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the right word, but it's
- 19:38Speaker 1: going to allow you to speak on the topic with
- 19:40Speaker 1: intelligence because you're going to actually be training your model.
- 19:45Speaker 2: The actual intelligence is in your head. And so again, if.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I'm structuring primary materials in my note taking application, I'm
- 19:54Speaker 1: properly citing my sources. I'm going to primary sources in
- 19:58Speaker 1: different types of libra, or I'm building from case studies
- 20:02Speaker 1: I produce for myself. Then I'm asking AI to help
- 20:05Speaker 1: highlight key ideas and concepts that are relevant to a
- 20:08Speaker 1: specific audience. Because the original materials were written for you.
- 20:12Speaker 1: But now we've got to translate in order to write
- 20:15Speaker 1: for a specific audience, because the outcome we desire is
- 20:18Speaker 1: a senior level executive to hire our consulting firm or
- 20:20Speaker 1: our marketing agency over anything else that's available in the market.
- 20:25Speaker 1: We're not writing for general people typically, And if you're
- 20:28Speaker 1: using my establishing instant credibility, I talk about writing materials
- 20:31Speaker 1: for a specific dream one hundred audience and then putting
- 20:34Speaker 1: those materials in front of that audience.
- 20:37Speaker 2: That's marketing work.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And so we want to build quality materials because if
- 20:42Speaker 1: we hire a marketing agency to extract from those materials
- 20:45Speaker 1: to promote us, we want the original materials to be
- 20:48Speaker 1: clean enough that if they go off and they're sloppy
- 20:51Speaker 1: with the AI or they're sloppy with other things, that
- 20:54Speaker 1: there's still be contextual relevance to bridge from the problem
- 20:57Speaker 1: the prospect has to you as a possible solution, and
- 21:02Speaker 1: then their action specifically to contact you. So again this
- 21:07Speaker 1: is revealing behind the curtain how successful people create influence,
- 21:13Speaker 1: whether they're using the library, whether they're using search engines,
- 21:17Speaker 1: or whether they're using artificial intelligence, is because they're not
- 21:21Speaker 1: relying on the external tool. They're developing and packaging their
- 21:25Speaker 1: own abilities. Because think about this, you write a massive
- 21:29Speaker 1: paper on how to solve. So I wrote an anti
- 21:32Speaker 1: money laundering paper. It was strategies on how to identify
- 21:35Speaker 1: money laundering? What types of money laundering is happening in
- 21:40Speaker 1: the current time. So I could use AI to say,
- 21:42Speaker 1: give me a list of money laundering prosecutions from this
- 21:46Speaker 1: certain database, and it would give me a list of prosecutions,
- 21:49Speaker 1: and then I would build a story around those prosecutions
- 21:52Speaker 1: about maybe how did it happen, what are some of
- 21:54Speaker 1: the preventative measures, what are the.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Root causes to look for? And then at the end
- 21:59Speaker 2: it had kind of some guidance.
- 22:01Speaker 1: All of that was built for and risk management organization
- 22:06Speaker 1: to get hired by banks and to get hired by
- 22:10Speaker 1: government agencies in order to identify money laundering. And so
- 22:15Speaker 1: it's not a massive reports. It's based on my understanding
- 22:19Speaker 1: of the audit process and my understanding of how money
- 22:23Speaker 1: I've done anti money laundering in financial services areas. It's
- 22:27Speaker 1: built on the clients insights, but ultimately as a persuasive
- 22:32Speaker 1: document to identify the big problem that money laundering exists
- 22:36Speaker 1: and it's likely going through your bank, and here's all
- 22:39Speaker 1: the horrible things that are going to happen if you
- 22:41Speaker 1: don't have good money laundering controls, and then it gives
- 22:44Speaker 1: practical examples, and then finally asks for a meeting. It says, hey,
- 22:49Speaker 1: if you want to talk specifically about your challenges, we
- 22:52Speaker 1: work under a non disclosure we are we're available for consultations,
- 22:56Speaker 1: and we can conduct audits. And by the way, here's
- 22:59Speaker 1: how you contact does. Again, there's a spectrum of subject
- 23:03Speaker 1: matter expertise, demonstrative ability, practical stories. So the story element
- 23:11Speaker 1: helps people understand complex information. And then marketing, which is
- 23:15Speaker 1: to call to action. AI is not going to consistently
- 23:19Speaker 1: do all of that for you.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Now, you can.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Break it down to a thousand little pieces and have
- 23:24Speaker 1: AI build these out. Hey, AI, give me a list
- 23:27Speaker 1: of problems this specific client might face if they're trying
- 23:31Speaker 1: to solve problems in money laundering or to stay compliant
- 23:34Speaker 1: with certain SEC filings or certain financial crime related filings.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Here are the definition of terms. AI might give you
- 23:45Speaker 2: the list of.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Problems, but you've got to pick which problems are relevant
- 23:48Speaker 1: to your audience, because some of those problems listed in
- 23:51Speaker 1: there are not going to be relevant to the decision maker. Again,
- 23:56Speaker 1: artificial intelligence gives us the ability to have that general
- 24:00Speaker 1: research done to search large volumes of data. But I
- 24:04Speaker 1: also can go back into my body of work and
- 24:06Speaker 1: use text analysis.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I could use ingrams, so I could look for.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Anti money laundering in ten or fifteen different variations. And
- 24:19Speaker 1: I can go through all my existing materials that I
- 24:22Speaker 1: wrote about money laundering, extract key ideas and concepts into
- 24:25Speaker 1: a map of content, and then from that just basically
- 24:29Speaker 1: just start typing and write out most of the report
- 24:32Speaker 1: without AI doing the work, and I'm going to have
- 24:35Speaker 1: a better understanding of the materials so that if the
- 24:37Speaker 1: client says, hey, this, so there's a money laundering thing
- 24:42Speaker 1: where people will use lottery pools in order to take
- 24:47Speaker 1: dirty money to buy lottery tickets, and then the lottery
- 24:50Speaker 1: winnings pay out the cash to replace the original money. See,
- 24:56Speaker 1: all they got to do is break even, but the
- 24:58Speaker 1: new money's clean. And so in some areas there are
- 25:02Speaker 1: certain people that are socially related to each other that
- 25:07Speaker 1: tend to win the lottery over others, and it's only
- 25:10Speaker 1: because they're using these schemes to wash dirty cash. It
- 25:14Speaker 1: is possible for the client to say that's not happening,
- 25:17Speaker 1: that's not possible. So again, I would use the story
- 25:21Speaker 1: of this actually was prosecuted, or this was actually suspected
- 25:25Speaker 1: by a FBI or an agency with authority. AI is
- 25:31Speaker 1: not going to build that out very carefully. It's going
- 25:33Speaker 1: to take you more work to get AI to give
- 25:34Speaker 1: you that. You know, if you put a bunch of
- 25:36Speaker 1: monkeys in a room on a typewriter, they're eventually going
- 25:38Speaker 1: to write some Shakespeare's sauna.
- 25:41Speaker 2: But saun it. But how many hundreds of years is
- 25:43Speaker 2: it going to take? And so again, if you.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Have subject matter expertise, a lot of the interviews that
- 25:50Speaker 1: I do are about gathering that primary source. Then you
- 25:54Speaker 1: can say, you know, the FBI has identified three cases
- 25:58Speaker 1: where this was being done, and here's the root cause,
- 26:01Speaker 1: here's the controls that you might use, here's some of
- 26:04Speaker 1: the issues you might be looking for. I can build
- 26:07Speaker 1: it faster with actual intelligence. And so again I do
- 26:13Speaker 1: some deep dives on how I use AI and writing content.
- 26:17Speaker 1: There are podcast videos to that I can try to
- 26:19Speaker 1: put a link in the description or in the comments.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I've also shown you some of the other tools I use,
- 26:24Speaker 1: because again I like to be tools agnostic. Notebook LM
- 26:30Speaker 1: might be great this month, but it may not be
- 26:31Speaker 1: good next month. Do I have the primary sources somewhere
- 26:35Speaker 1: to feed a different system?
- 26:37Speaker 2: And then even then, what are my outcomes? What are
- 26:40Speaker 2: my deliverables?
- 26:42Speaker 1: The project management side, AI is not going to manage
- 26:44Speaker 1: the project for you in a way that's appropriate for
- 26:47Speaker 1: the client's needs and desires. Yes, you could feed AI
- 26:51Speaker 1: a contract and you can say, tell me what are
- 26:54Speaker 1: the key points, what are the key deliverables, and what's
- 26:56Speaker 1: the time expectation. You can have it to an analysis
- 26:59Speaker 1: on a game chart. But you can also just use
- 27:02Speaker 1: some project management software and outline the project.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Again, folks, AI sounds great because.
- 27:08Speaker 1: They're marketing it just like websites and dot com was.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Eventually it'll drop back and some of the tools will disappear.
- 27:16Speaker 1: But ultimately you still need to deliver high value decisions
- 27:20Speaker 1: that are going to create key, profitable customers. You still
- 27:23Speaker 1: need to create deliverables that deliver on the promises you
- 27:26Speaker 1: made for clients. You still need to create persuasive materials
- 27:31Speaker 1: so that you can develop your business and gain a
- 27:34Speaker 1: portfolio of clients. You still need to have goals and
- 27:37Speaker 1: objectives in order to guide the work so that you're
- 27:42Speaker 1: using these tools in a way that produces meaningful results,
- 27:46Speaker 1: that's focused on specific outcomes, and that ultimately is done
- 27:50Speaker 1: in a cost effective manner, and we can help you
- 27:53Speaker 1: with this modeling. So in my business development consulting, we
- 27:57Speaker 1: do talk about for ten million dollar plus businesses, how
- 28:00Speaker 1: do we streamline things. A lot of companies are just
- 28:03Speaker 1: dumping employees because AI seems to give them relevant results.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And that's because the manager didn't know whether or not
- 28:09Speaker 1: the employees are given you irrelevant results or not, and
- 28:12Speaker 1: so they're dissatisfied with performance because they are I've talked
- 28:17Speaker 1: to some of these folks if they getting a bad
- 28:19Speaker 1: response from an employee or a response they don't understand
- 28:23Speaker 1: from an employee, getting a bad response or a response
- 28:25Speaker 1: they don't understand from AI is the same thing to them,
- 28:28Speaker 1: and so there's organizational and structural problems there. Maybe it's
- 28:31Speaker 1: the manager that ought to get laid off. We can
- 28:33Speaker 1: talk about that another webinar or another podcast, But my
- 28:37Speaker 1: point being that is we do have consultations where you
- 28:40Speaker 1: start talking about, Hey, what tools are you using, how are.
- 28:42Speaker 2: You using these tools?
- 28:43Speaker 1: Let's codify some of this, let's extract best practices, Let's
- 28:49Speaker 1: help you deliver on those outcomes. Let's let you deliver
- 28:53Speaker 1: on those promises you make to clients. Let's help package
- 28:57Speaker 1: materials so that you have the primary sources you can
- 28:59Speaker 1: use to create marketing campaigns and other content that drives
- 29:03Speaker 1: those leads, that drives those sales. If you're interested in that,

- 29:14Speaker 1: I hope I've given you some ideas and concepts on
- 29:17Speaker 1: how to better use these tools to create better results.
- 29:21Speaker 2: But don't ignore.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Text analysis, graph analysis, those other types of tools that.
