Preparing for the growth of AI tools involves improving how we manage our knowledge.
Artificial intelligence will likely impact knowledge workers earlier than most people think. While AI may not replace people in the short term, it's a safe bet that those who augment themselves with AI tools will set themselves apart from those who do not.
We can't connect our brains to computers yet. But we can start improving how we organize and handle information, both in our work and personally.
Work on clearly articulating your reasoning and how you think and make decisions. Create a system for keeping track of your ideas, decisions, and other important information. Make it a habit to write down what you do every day at work. Pay attention to the special knowledge you have that makes you good at what you do, and write that down too.
It doesn't need to be complex. I use a combination of Apple Reminders and Notion to capture all of my information.
This information helps make you more aware of your tacit knowledge and internal processes. It can improve your ability to write genAI prompts today. In the future, it will be invaluable for training and refining AI models that can evolve into personal assistants that complement and enhance your professional capabilities.
