I also think that the number of jobs in our industry, there will be fewer because one person can do more using these technologies. Or maybe it's the same amount of jobs and people's time is spent more on thoughtful strategic work. Rather than rote, repetitive, junior-level material.” – Shaun Randol ------------------- Episode Timestamps: *(06:47): The role AI will play in internal communications *(19:09): Segment: Story Time *(26:40): Segment: Getting Tactical *(27:13): How AI has already improved internal comms and HR *(39:49): The dangers and fears of AI *(01:02:23): Segment: Asking For a Friend *(01:02:41): AI security and ethics resources ------------------- Links: Connect with Carolyn on LinkedIn Visit Carolyn’s website Visit Simpplr’s blog Connect with Shaun on LinkedIn Visit Mister Editorial Follow Sam Altman, Founder of OpenAI Read IBM’s AI Ethics Guide Visit Anthropic for more on AI ethics Connect with Amanda on LinkedIn www.simpplr.com/podcast
