| 0:00.0 | With the threat of AI taking over the workplace, it's important that you take actionable steps versus sitting back and watching it happen. |
| 0:10.0 | Yeah, so we brought in our AI expert here, Josh. So Josh, why don't you tell everybody kind of what you're working on and what you're saying right now? Because I think it's, I think a lot of people are sitting back. now because I think it's I think a lot of people |
| 0:21.0 | are sitting back you call them sleeping ducks I think a lot of people are sitting back they don't |
| 0:25.9 | want to implement AI because that might mean that their job's gone right so they're resistant right |
| 0:32.6 | is that kind of what you're seeing yeah I would say there's really two types of people right now |
| 0:36.4 | one that's all in |
| 0:37.9 | trying to replace themselves with AI, trying to implement as much as possible in the business. |
| 0:43.7 | The other is soon to be unemployed and soon to no longer have a business. And that's really just |

| 1:28.6 | that's all kind of commonplace now, right? |
| 1:30.9 | Anything that involves typing on your computer can be done by AI. |
| 1:35.1 | If all it takes is you doing a task to move from one tab to another |
| 1:39.2 | and to scan stuff and to have knowledge, it is not very usable. |
| 1:43.8 | It's not useful. Any knowledge-based |
| 1:45.9 | workforce is virtually irrelevant. Well, so let's take a few steps back here. And I think a lot |
