It’s been a noisy year.
And a lot of folks are getting sick of the endless AI chatter.
- Predictions of widespread job loss (😱)
- Disagreement over which jobs are actually at risk (😱)
- Claims of AI sentience (😱)
At the same time, there’s no ignoring the early data on AI and productivity gains.
- A 66% bump in overall productivity
- A 59% bump in writing speed
- A 126% bump in programming
AI is powerful. But keeping up with it is draining.
What’s a savvy person to do?
Meet: Targeted Learning
With all the noise, it may be tempting to step away from the AI discussion. To take a break from all the chaos. To let it play out a bit.
But I’d like to suggest another route.
👉 Targeted learning.
Here’s the playbook:
- Figure out exactly what you want (and need) to know.
- Invest in resources that fit your learning goal.
- Ignore everything else.
