Episode #5: Developing an AI Mindset – AI After 50
Welcome to another episode of AI After 50, the podcast for experienced professionals looking to develop their AI skill set and stay professionally indispensable. I’m Mark Tennant, and if you’re over 50, you’re in the right place to become AI-literate, AI-confident, and AI-empowered.
This week, we’re expanding on our previous discussion about AI as a behavioral shift and diving into how to develop an AI mindset. Embracing AI isn’t about mastering technical skills—it’s about making AI an everyday thinking partner. From keeping ChatGPT open at all times to using AI for deeper insights into personal growth, work efficiency, and decision-making, we’ll explore how to shift your mindset to work with AI instead of just using it as a tool.
Plus, I bring back Sol, my ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode assistant, to discuss how AI can help us become smarter together. Stay tuned for practical strategies, a weekly AI exercise, and key takeaways to help you integrate AI seamlessly into your routine.
