134. How to Chat with Bots: The Secrets to Getting the Information You Need from AI | Think...

Leveraging AI to unlock new levels of creativity and communication innovation
Join Matt Abrahams (www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-...) with creativity and innovation experts Jeremy Utley (online.stanford.edu/instructo...) and Kian Gohar (www.kian.is/) to explore the transformative potential of AI in the realms of creativity and problem-solving.
If you treat artificial intelligence like an oracle, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you treat it like a teammate, Utley and Gohar say you’ll be surprised just how helpful a collaborator it can be.
Utley, an adjunct professor at the Stanford d.school, and Gohar, a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and futurist, have researched how teams can integrate AI into existing workflows to generate more creative ideas and streamline problem-solving. As they’ve found, large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can be powerful tools for innovation. But without knowing how to implement them, “Most teams leave the vast majority of their innovation potential on the table,” Utley says. In a new white paper, he and Gohar illuminate the path teams can take to use generative AI as a “conversation partner” and transform their brainstorming efforts as a result.
In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Utley and Gohar discuss how innovators can stop viewing AI as a magic 8-ball, and start treating it as a companion - one ready to roll up its sleeves and dig deep for new ideas.
Think Fast, Talk Smart (www.gsb.stanford.edu/business...) is a podcast produced by Stanford Graduate School of Business. Each episode provides concrete, easy-to-implement tools and techniques to help you hone and enhance your communication skills.
