## Transcript

**[00:00:00]** Thank you for your attention.

**[00:00:30]** Good morning. Good morning to everyone who came here today to the Magenta Experience Center.

**[00:00:35]** Good morning to everyone watching us in the live stream.

**[00:00:40]** Greetings to companies, coworking centers, libraries, and schools.

**[00:00:45]** You are in the right place today if you want to know what

**[00:00:50]** the future of work will look like. But before I invite the guest,

**[00:00:55]** whom we are all looking forward to, including myself,

**[00:01:00]** please take your mobile phones in your hands,

**[00:01:05]** as usual, the breakfast will have two parts: a lecture

**[00:01:10]** and then questions, but during the lecture

**[00:01:15]** we will ask you a few things.

**[00:01:21]** So please go to www.slajdu.com, hashtag Brain,

**[00:01:26]** and try to vote whether this is your first breakfast

**[00:01:31]** or if you have attended before. I'll wait a moment,

**[00:01:36]** I see voting is already happening, but as I said, don't put your phones away,

**[00:01:40]** keep them with you, we will need them soon.

**[00:01:46]** Well, there's nothing left but to get your minds expanded now

**[00:01:51]** by Filip Dřímalka.

**[00:01:56]** Filip, come join me. I welcome you for the second time

**[00:02:01]** to Brain and Breakfast. Hi.

**[00:02:05]** Hello, good morning.

**[00:02:09]** I said I would introduce you as a writer,

**[00:02:13]** which by coincidence relates closely to this topic.

**[00:02:17]** And it will actually be about that. So I hand over the floor to you

**[00:02:21]** and please give us a glimpse of what the world of work will look like.

**[00:02:26]** So it's yours, thanks. Thank you very much, thanks for the invitation.

**[00:02:30]** For the second time, I learned today that Honza has been organizing these events for ten years.

**[00:02:35]** Twelve times a year, that's one hundred twenty events, and he's still nervous.

**[00:02:39]** At every event. Which shows that we always need courage

**[00:02:45]** and even when it seems someone has it all under control,

**[00:02:49]** and has no worries, that's not true. We all have worries,

**[00:02:52]** and I think courage is needed for the things I will talk about.

**[00:02:56]** Although courage might be a strong word, people in the nineties had to be brave,

**[00:03:01]** those who put everything on one card, or people in Ukraine.

**[00:03:05]** We rather have to dare to do new things and start something

**[00:03:09]** where we might not feel completely comfortable, and that's what I'll talk about today.

**[00:03:14]** I would also ask you once more to vote and please,

**[00:03:18]** vote on whether you have used the application

**[00:03:22]** called ChatGPT. That means chat with artificial intelligence.

**[00:03:28]** I ask the director for Slajdo.

**[00:03:32]** It's a kind of tool you can chat with and give tasks to.

**[00:03:37]** So ChatGPT, who has tried it, who uses it regularly, and who hasn't encountered it yet.

**[00:03:44]** For those of you who haven't met it, this is your first homework,

**[00:03:47]** which I'll give you today to try it out.

**[00:03:52]** So most people, about 80%, already use it.

**[00:03:58]** So roughly fifty-fifty. Interesting, good.

**[00:04:04]** For those of you who haven't tried it yet, here's a first tip.

**[00:04:09]** Write it down somewhere and definitely try it, because I'll be talking a lot about it today,

**[00:04:14]** and this information is useful to me.

**[00:04:17]** To start, three important thoughts.

**[00:04:20]** I often meet people who come to me,

**[00:04:24]** who are at the top of their fields.

**[00:04:28]** A vice president of a tech company, a technology expert,

**[00:04:32]** who enroll in our educational programs,

**[00:04:35]** and they often feel a huge urgency.

**[00:04:39]** That's why I recommend, if a good friend tells you

**[00:04:44]** that it's good to focus on something, maybe don't wait,

**[00:04:47]** but start paying attention to it today.

**[00:04:50]** Maybe in the past you had someone around you who advised you,

**[00:04:53]** to buy Bitcoin when it was worth a thousand crowns,

**[00:04:56]** and you just let it pass.

**[00:04:58]** So that's also a way to follow trends—simply listen to people around you.

**[00:05:03]** The second thought is, don't let the truth ruin a good story.

**[00:05:08]** And when I talk about some tools today,

**[00:05:11]** I use more advanced ones.

**[00:05:14]** Maybe the tool you use doesn't offer those features yet.

**[00:05:18]** But what artificial intelligence shows us is

**[00:05:21]** that what isn't possible today will be possible in the distant future.

**[00:05:25]** Meaning maybe next month.

**[00:05:27]** Because the ChatGPT app gained five million users,

**[00:05:33]** then 100 million users in two months.

**[00:05:36]** And we see with these tools that every week, every day,

**[00:05:40]** new functionalities are added.

**[00:05:42]** So I can't even imagine

**[00:05:44]** what they'll be able to do in a year or two.

**[00:05:47]** And the third thought is the best way

**[00:05:50]** to predict the future is to create it.

**[00:05:52]** So we'll talk about the future,

**[00:05:54]** but from the perspective of us as individuals, and what we can all do

**[00:05:58]** to ensure a good future even in the age of artificial intelligence.

**[00:06:02]** And one last thought.

**[00:06:04]** You might think, sometimes I get feedback like this,

**[00:06:08]** that I speak a foreign language.

**[00:06:10]** But that doesn't matter at all.

**[00:06:12]** What matters is wanting to learn to speak that language.

**[00:06:16]** The desire to learn something, to try something,

**[00:06:18]** is far more important than whether you speak the language today.

**[00:06:21]** And what is absolutely crucial is the fact

**[00:06:24]** that everyone can learn to speak that language.

**[00:06:26]** Because, as we will show,

**[00:06:28]** artificial intelligence has brought advanced technological features

**[00:06:33]** even to people who don't know how to use a computer at all.

**[00:06:36]** And that is a huge opportunity for us all.

**[00:06:40]** I remember, and it was the main reason

**[00:06:44]** why I started writing my second book,

**[00:06:46]** I remember December 3rd,

**[00:06:48]** I remember it exactly,

**[00:06:50]** because it was the day I realized

**[00:06:52]** that technology would replace even me.

**[00:06:54]** I got a message on LinkedIn,

**[00:06:56]** where a gentleman asked me,

**[00:06:58]** if I offer consultations.

**[00:07:00]** And I replied normally, yes,

**[00:07:02]** but now I’m focused on my projects,

**[00:07:04]** so I don’t have much time,

**[00:07:06]** but feel free to ask.

**[00:07:08]** And he asked, I work at a company,

**[00:07:10]** and I need to find out,

**[00:07:12]** which e-shops use competitors’ services,

**[00:07:14]** just a typical business question.

**[00:07:16]** And what I did was take that question

**[00:07:18]** and copy it into ChatGPT.

**[00:07:20]** And I asked my AI.

**[00:07:22]** And it answered me.

**[00:07:24]** And I sent that to the gentleman.

**[00:07:26]** And he replied,

**[00:07:28]** fantastic, thanks.

**[00:07:30]** And I said, wait.

**[00:07:32]** And he said, well, here you write

**[00:07:34]** that it would be good to search on Google,

**[00:07:36]** to automatically download those results.

**[00:07:38]** And I didn't know how to download them automatically.

**[00:07:40]** So I took it, copied it.

**[00:07:42]** And for me, the intelligence from the advisor became a programmer.

**[00:07:44]** She wrote, it's enough if you write this script here

**[00:07:46]** into Google Sheets.

**[00:07:48]** So I wrote it,

**[00:07:50]** copied, pasted.

**[00:07:52]** And he, thanks a lot, fantastic,

**[00:07:54]** helped me a lot there.

**[00:07:56]** And I realized

**[00:07:58]** that consulting work will be completely different.

**[00:08:00]** And that even what people pay us for today

**[00:08:02]** will look different.

**[00:08:04]** So I went,

**[00:08:06]** checked if by chance

**[00:08:08]** the domain futureofnowork.com was available.

**[00:08:10]** And it was by chance.

**[00:08:12]** And that became kind of

**[00:08:14]** my destiny and

**[00:08:16]** the most important work I'm working on now.

**[00:08:18]** The work looks like this.

**[00:08:20]** After many iterations and weeks

**[00:08:22]** of intensive work, I put together the content.

**[00:08:24]** I already have about half written.

**[00:08:26]** And today is the first time

**[00:08:28]** I'm presenting the concept in the form of

**[00:08:30]** a presentation, which we have about

**[00:08:32]** an hour for. I would probably need about ten

**[00:08:34]** hours, but I'll try

**[00:08:36]** to manage it.

**[00:08:38]** We humans have always been

**[00:08:40]** users of tools.

**[00:08:42]** That means whenever we discover a tool,

**[00:08:44]** we naturally tend to use it.

**[00:08:46]** For fun, for work.

**[00:08:48]** And the tools we use

**[00:08:50]** influence

**[00:08:52]** what we do and how we do it.

**[00:08:54]** It's kind of a never-ending

**[00:08:56]** a cycle where the applications and tools we use influence

**[00:08:58]** the way we work, which in turn

**[00:09:00]** affects those tools.

**[00:09:02]** We saw this when the pandemic hit.

**[00:09:04]** For ten years, I've been going

**[00:09:06]** around the market telling companies they should allow

**[00:09:08]** people to work remotely.

**[00:09:10]** Some companies hear this from me

**[00:09:12]** every year, and then suddenly comes

**[00:09:14]** a lockdown, and within three days it's decided that we'll work

**[00:09:16]** remotely. And then

**[00:09:18]** we have to implement Microsoft 365

**[00:09:20]** or Google Workspace. And that brings

**[00:09:22]** new demands on remote workers.

**[00:09:24]** And this cycle keeps

**[00:09:26]** influencing itself. However, what changed last year was

**[00:09:28]** the realization, I would say,

**[00:09:30]** of most people

**[00:09:32]** that artificial intelligence and new technologies

**[00:09:34]** can do much more. This

**[00:09:36]** image shows an analysis

**[00:09:38]** by McKinsey predicting what percentage

**[00:09:40]** of the workforce will be

**[00:09:42]** automated by 2045.

**[00:09:44]** Czechia is that small, dark,

**[00:09:46]** central spot in Europe, where more than 50%

**[00:09:48]** is predicted.

**[00:09:50]** And when I talked with my

**[00:09:52]** creative

**[00:09:54]** technologies, which are

**[00:09:56]** very central,

**[00:09:58]** about which professions will or won't be automated or replaced by machines,

**[00:10:00]** it mostly came down to routine jobs, manufacturing, logistics being replaced.

**[00:10:02]** And what won't be replaced are creative professions, psychologists, therapists, and so on.

**[00:10:19]** I don't know, maybe they'll go first for you.

**[00:10:21]** Because last year, it came to public attention; the technology itself isn't entirely new,

**[00:10:26]** but so-called generative artificial intelligence appeared.

**[00:10:28]** Artificial intelligence that can create.

**[00:10:31]** What you see in the picture are designs of potential villains for Marvel comic movies,

**[00:10:38]** completely designed by artificial intelligence.

**[00:10:42]** Suddenly, we realized it’s not just automation of routine work,

**[00:10:48]** but that today we have technologies that can replace almost anything.

**[00:10:55]** And people started to worry. Naturally.

**[00:10:58]** Suddenly, when I type into GPT, 'create a job ad,' it creates it.

**[00:11:02]** When I type, 'write some tests for candidates,'

**[00:11:06]** to check their skills, it creates that too.

**[00:11:08]** Will I still be needed as an HR specialist? And so on.

**[00:11:13]** And I’m curious if you have concerns too, whether participants here or watching.

**[00:11:19]** If I asked the director to have a vote on the topic,

**[00:11:27]** whether we fear for the future that AI will take our jobs.

**[00:11:40]** And it’s anonymous, so...

**[00:11:43]** I mean, it is anonymous.

**[00:11:46]** Well, imagination.

**[00:11:48]** I wonder if it’s because of the bubble that Brain&Breakfast is,

**[00:11:52]** that there are only optimistic people here who are creators of their own lives,

**[00:11:58]** I assume so, so that’s a compliment to you, Honza, for what you’ve put together.

**[00:12:02]** So far it’s positive, and that’s good.

**[00:12:05]** Because in the coming years, it definitely won’t replace us.

**[00:12:10]** And if we look at the whole concept of utopia, dystopia, utopia,

**[00:12:15]** utopia if it goes well, dystopia if it goes badly,

**[00:12:19]** my favorite economic journalist Noah Smith says,

**[00:12:23]** utopia is when a robot takes half of your work,

**[00:12:27]** and dystopia is when a robot takes half of the jobs.

**[00:12:31]** And today I want to talk about the idea of utopia.

**[00:12:34]** What would happen and what can we do so that a robot takes half of our work,

**[00:12:38]** the work we do manually today.

**[00:12:40]** Because when we think about the purpose of our work,

**[00:12:44]** and when you think about what you started with entering the job market,

**[00:12:48]** is it really what you do today?

**[00:12:51]** If you ask a school principal what the purpose of being a principal is,

**[00:12:55]** they definitely won’t say it’s hours and hours spent

**[00:12:59]** on paperwork and pointless reports.

**[00:13:02]** If you ask an HR specialist what the purpose of their work is,

**[00:13:05]** it’s definitely not reporting to the Czech Statistical Office,

**[00:13:09]** but it's an effort to find the best talents, an effort to develop people.

**[00:13:13]** And that's why I think it's time to redefine

**[00:13:17]** what we perceive as work.

**[00:13:19]** In this photo is my dad with my son,

**[00:13:22]** we are at the World Expo in Dubai.

**[00:13:24]** I was lucky because both my parents are absolutely fantastic.

**[00:13:28]** And I always appreciated my dad's approach to work.

**[00:13:32]** He has worked at one company for 45 years and besides that,

**[00:13:36]** every Friday he goes to the cottage with my mom.

**[00:13:39]** And when he arrives at the cottage, the first thing he does

**[00:13:42]** is put on overalls and spends the whole weekend doing something.

**[00:13:46]** My brother and I didn’t really like that,

**[00:13:50]** but I realized he doesn’t see it as work at all.

**[00:13:54]** And I feel the same way.

**[00:13:56]** When I give lectures, when I run workshops,

**[00:13:58]** when I talk with my clients about the future,

**[00:14:01]** it's not work.

**[00:14:03]** I don’t feel it as work, not at all.

**[00:14:06]** That’s why I came up with the concept of non-work.

**[00:14:09]** And for me, non-work is when I do something

**[00:14:12]** that I enjoy, that fulfills me, brings value, creates value.

**[00:14:16]** It’s something where technology takes care of the work for me,

**[00:14:20]** and it’s something I consciously don’t do.

**[00:14:23]** Whether by killing the inner perfectionist

**[00:14:27]** and letting my intelligence handle it,

**[00:14:30]** or simply telling myself, maybe this is enough.

**[00:14:33]** And when we talk about people's adaptability,

**[00:14:36]** maybe people will be fine not having to save up

**[00:14:39]** for property in Prague or Brno, but moving to Jeseník

**[00:14:42]** and working four hours a day.

**[00:14:44]** Because today we can work from anywhere.

**[00:14:47]** So for me, that is non-work.

**[00:14:49]** And non-work and work as such have always been driven by technology.

**[00:14:53]** I show this picture in every presentation of mine.

**[00:14:56]** It’s a few applications you can use for work today.

**[00:14:59]** I could go even further.

**[00:15:01]** These are the three thousand most used applications.

**[00:15:04]** We’ll go through them all now. No, don’t worry.

**[00:15:06]** But just take the world of common office apps.

**[00:15:10]** Just a few years ago, it was Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

**[00:15:13]** Today, there are dozens of tools.

**[00:15:16]** And because we have projects like Digiskills or Digitask

**[00:15:19]** and we teach companies to work with these tools,

**[00:15:22]** we see that people don't know how to use them at all.

**[00:15:25]** Or most people don't.

**[00:15:28]** Fortunately, so-called new intelligent tools have arrived.

**[00:15:32]** And I deliberately don't say artificial intelligence sometimes,

**[00:15:35]** I say new intelligent tools,

**[00:15:37]** because we won't focus on what's behind them,

**[00:15:39]** whether they really use artificial intelligence or not.

**[00:15:42]** But what these tools I will talk about today have in common

**[00:15:45]** is that they are easy to start working with.

**[00:15:48]** So when you register for ChatGPT,

**[00:15:50]** you start chatting with it,

**[00:15:52]** just like when you chat with someone on Messenger.

**[00:15:56]** They save you a significant amount of time.

**[00:15:58]** Today, you can connect GPT to Google Sheets

**[00:16:02]** and Google Docs.

**[00:16:04]** In a few weeks or months, it will be part of Word and Excel.

**[00:16:08]** So when I get a report from our DigiChallenge project,

**[00:16:12]** where 300 people write what they are working on,

**[00:16:15]** I put GPT functions into the spreadsheet,

**[00:16:17]** ask it to shorten it and make a summary of the most cited things.

**[00:16:21]** And in a minute, I have work that would normally take me hours or even tens of hours.

**[00:16:25]** So it saves a lot of time.

**[00:16:28]** There is an element where you kind of feel

**[00:16:31]** like it's magic. There's a wow factor.

**[00:16:33]** Anyone who has used ChatGPT will definitely confirm

**[00:16:36]** that the moment you first see how intelligence really works for you

**[00:16:40]** is something absolutely incredible.

**[00:16:43]** And sometimes you feel like you're cheating a little.

**[00:16:48]** One of my clients is CME,

**[00:16:51]** which operates a network of TV stations.

**[00:16:54]** We fly around Europe, to various stations,

**[00:16:57]** talking with company leadership and digital talents

**[00:17:00]** about how to use these technologies in the future.

**[00:17:03]** When we were in Romania, at ProTV, the largest Romanian TV station,

**[00:17:07]** we held a workshop where a journalist was present.

**[00:17:11]** And the next day, he sent me a message during the workshop

**[00:17:14]** that he started using one of the tools I showed.

**[00:17:18]** And he wrote there directly,

**[00:17:20]** Jesus, it feels like cheating.

**[00:17:23]** And he's not alone.

**[00:17:25]** Sometimes people feel like they can't,

**[00:17:27]** because it really feels like cheating.

**[00:17:29]** And I divide these new intelligent tools into three categories in my book.

**[00:17:34]** The first is working with information.

**[00:17:37]** It's the ability to create texts, shorten texts, change texts.

**[00:17:42]** The future might look like this,

**[00:17:44]** that when someone applies for a job, they say create a cover letter for me.

**[00:17:48]** Artificial intelligence creates it.

**[00:17:50]** A smart HR person says shorten the cover letter,

**[00:17:52]** and it gets shortened again.

**[00:17:54]** But I use it like this,

**[00:17:57]** when I need to record a video,

**[00:18:00]** shorter, which I sometimes struggle with,

**[00:18:03]** I just record my thoughts, the computer converts them to text,

**[00:18:06]** GPT, shorten it, fix the errors,

**[00:18:08]** and make a nice script for the video.

**[00:18:10]** I have it done in a second,

**[00:18:12]** and if I want to tweak it a bit, I say,

**[00:18:14]** now rewrite it in the style of Tim Ferriss.

**[00:18:16]** And it rewrites it.

**[00:18:18]** And any knowledge work,

**[00:18:21]** what will be a big advantage for companies and people in the future,

**[00:18:24]** are two of the thousands of examples I want to mention here.

**[00:18:27]** The first is the future of documentation and generally,

**[00:18:30]** how we find information today.

**[00:18:32]** Because even today, applications are starting to appear,

**[00:18:35]** that you feed not only with internet data,

**[00:18:37]** but also with your internal company data.

**[00:18:40]** That means, just like you ask GPT chat today,

**[00:18:42]** it gives you an answer to anything,

**[00:18:44]** this is how you will ask within companies.

**[00:18:46]** How many times do we have to ask colleagues,

**[00:18:48]** because we don't know who is responsible for what,

**[00:18:51]** what our internal guideline is.

**[00:18:53]** How much work we will save,

**[00:18:55]** when we have artificial intelligence,

**[00:18:57]** that understands what we are asking about

**[00:18:59]** and it will give us an answer.

**[00:19:02]** And that saves dozens of hours annually

**[00:19:05]** for everyone in the company.

**[00:19:07]** And similarly, a tool will start to appear,

**[00:19:10]** that will bring these functions into everyday communication.

**[00:19:13]** I always recommend, if you work in sales,

**[00:19:16]** you should follow the most interesting small startups,

**[00:19:19]** that create apps for sales.

**[00:19:21]** If you work in customer service,

**[00:19:23]** you should follow the most interesting startups,

**[00:19:25]** that create apps for customer service.

**[00:19:27]** Why?

**[00:19:28]** Because they are the ones working on integrating AI into their services.

**[00:19:30]** And I have been following the company Intercom for a long time,

**[00:19:33]** which makes a tool for customer support.

**[00:19:36]** When its founder published this tweet,

**[00:19:39]** he announced they have new features.

**[00:19:42]** One of those features was,

**[00:19:45]** that when you talk to your client,

**[00:19:47]** for example by email,

**[00:19:49]** and you exchange eight emails

**[00:19:50]** and then want to include a colleague,

**[00:19:52]** they have a button

**[00:19:54]** that summarizes all the communication for that colleague

**[00:19:56]** into a few bullet points.

**[00:19:58]** And likewise, when I reply to a customer, so I don't have to invent what

**[00:20:00]** was written several times, I just write two or three points

**[00:20:05]** and a short reply is generated.

**[00:20:08]** And when customers ask repeatedly, with one click I create a page

**[00:20:11]** with frequently asked questions.

**[00:20:14]** We discussed this with a team from Silesian University in Opava,

**[00:20:17]** with whom we work on AI, and they are now working on

**[00:20:21]** providing support to students this way, to better teach them how to write term papers.

**[00:20:24]** If mistakes repeat, with a few clicks they create a document for students.

**[00:20:29]** Absolutely amazing.

**[00:20:33]** Similarly, the second category: creating and improving content.

**[00:20:36]** Content creation can be images, music, video.

**[00:20:39]** You can create an avatar that speaks.

**[00:20:45]** I have one avatar here. Let's try playing it.

**[00:20:53]** Hello. I would like to invite you to my lecture on the future of work,

**[00:20:58]** which will look at the advantage of personal intelligence in our work

**[00:21:01]** and show you many opportunities you can use in your life.

**[00:21:04]** I wish you my opportunity so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:06]** so that you have the opportunity, so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:07]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:08]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:09]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:10]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:11]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:12]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:13]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:14]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:15]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:16]** so that you have the opportunity,

**[00:21:17]** so that you have the opportunity.

**[00:21:42]** I just uploaded four two-minute videos

**[00:21:44]** and I have an avatar,

**[00:21:45]** which will start creating my educational courses like this.

**[00:21:48]** You can create anything.

**[00:21:49]** Images, sound, presentations.

**[00:21:52]** So you write 20 ideas

**[00:21:54]** and with one click, an app is created for you.

**[00:21:57]** I'm not naming specific apps.

**[00:22:00]** It's important that people learn to find them on their own.

**[00:22:03]** So it's enough that you know

**[00:22:04]** that there is a tool to create presentations from text

**[00:22:07]** using AI.

**[00:22:09]** If you put this into Google

**[00:22:10]** or ask Chat GPT or other AI,

**[00:22:14]** it will always advise you.

**[00:22:16]** I even saw a tool recently

**[00:22:17]** that creates interior designs.

**[00:22:20]** So you upload a photo of your room,

**[00:22:23]** say what design you like,

**[00:22:25]** and it creates an interior design proposal for you.

**[00:22:28]** Interior AI.

**[00:22:29]** These possibilities not only create content,

**[00:22:32]** but also analyze.

**[00:22:33]** For example, Microsoft has technology for the visually impaired.

**[00:22:37]** You point your phone somewhere, and in the future, glasses,

**[00:22:40]** will describe what you directly see.

**[00:22:43]** So we can consider these technologies useful for business,

**[00:22:47]** but they also have a huge impact on supporting people

**[00:22:50]** with various disabilities.

**[00:22:52]** And finally, there are assistants for controlling technologies.

**[00:22:55]** The first big one was Copilot,

**[00:22:57]** which helps programmers.

**[00:22:59]** Instead of programmers writing several lines of code or an algorithm,

**[00:23:01]** they just write what they want,

**[00:23:04]** and Copilot writes it for them.

**[00:23:06]** And we already see

**[00:23:08]** Copilots for creating contracts,

**[00:23:10]** for creating internal guidelines,

**[00:23:13]** and even Copilots

**[00:23:15]** that help you work on your computer.

**[00:23:17]** Here is a plugin for Minesto Multion,

**[00:23:20]** an add-on for the internet browser.

**[00:23:22]** I took a screenshot when there was an example

**[00:23:25]** to buy toilet paper from Amazon.

**[00:23:28]** But basically, when you think about how

**[00:23:30]** we work on computers,

**[00:23:32]** we just keep clicking.

**[00:23:34]** We keep clicking.

**[00:23:36]** If I want to go to rohlik.cz

**[00:23:37]** and order three items,

**[00:23:39]** I have to click twenty times.

**[00:23:41]** What these tools can do today is

**[00:23:43]** I tell them what I want,

**[00:23:45]** they go and you see them clicking for you.

**[00:23:46]** By the way, this also shows

**[00:23:48]** how technology control has advanced

**[00:23:50]** in the past few weeks.

**[00:23:52]** When I started writing a book

**[00:23:54]** and needed to download content

**[00:23:56]** from some websites,

**[00:23:58]** I had to set up a rather complicated automation.

**[00:24:00]** Now, halfway through,

**[00:24:03]** a tool appeared,

**[00:24:07]** which you again have as a browser extension

**[00:24:09]** and you just write what you want.

**[00:24:11]** You are on it, you write,

**[00:24:13]** download all the people who commented on this post into a spreadsheet.

**[00:24:15]** And it does the automation.

**[00:24:17]** This also shows

**[00:24:19]** that it will get easier and easier,

**[00:24:21]** that I won't have to figure out

**[00:24:23]** how the tool works,

**[00:24:25]** but just say what I want

**[00:24:27]** and the computer will do it.

**[00:24:29]** Besides these categories,

**[00:24:31]** I also started thinking about

**[00:24:33]** what roles we play at work

**[00:24:35]** and how new intelligent tools can help us.

**[00:24:37]** Yesterday evening I arrived,

**[00:24:39]** I was on a so-called workation,

**[00:24:41]** a combination of work and vacation,

**[00:24:43]** and I was writing a book there.

**[00:24:45]** I thought it would be good,

**[00:24:47]** since I would be somewhere for three weeks,

**[00:24:49]** to organize some workshop there

**[00:24:51]** to test the ideas from the book.

**[00:24:53]** So I started writing an email to my colleague

**[00:24:55]** and wanted to ask her

**[00:24:57]** to contact some coworking spaces in Las Palmas

**[00:24:59]** in the Canary Islands,

**[00:25:01]** offer them my lecture

**[00:25:03]** and arrange it with them.

**[00:25:05]** Just before I sent it,

**[00:25:07]** I thought, why don't I try to do it

**[00:25:09]** with artificial intelligence.

**[00:25:11]** So I went ahead,

**[00:25:13]** used a combination of several tools,

**[00:25:15]** but I assume that in a few weeks or months

**[00:25:17]** you will do it all in one.

**[00:25:19]** First, I typed in,

**[00:25:21]** find a list of coworking centers.

**[00:25:23]** Boom, I had the list.

**[00:25:27]** Advise me how to put them together into a table.

**[00:25:29]** Then I wanted to add contacts,

**[00:25:31]** so it created a script for me,

**[00:25:33]** it became a programmer.

**[00:25:35]** Then I said, come up with

**[00:25:37]** how to approach them with a lecture.

**[00:25:39]** Give me five tips on what might interest them.

**[00:25:41]** So it created five tips for me.

**[00:25:43]** I call it 'she,' but everyone has their own way.

**[00:25:45]** Then I said,

**[00:25:47]** okay, write me an email draft on how to approach them.

**[00:25:49]** Then I said, send it to all of them.

**[00:25:51]** I had to do that in a slightly different tool,

**[00:25:53]** but it was all within Google apps.

**[00:25:55]** And finally I said,

**[00:25:57]** because I want to repeat this,

**[00:25:59]** because there are quite a few steps,

**[00:26:01]** make me a checklist out of it.

**[00:26:03]** All these roles were done by artificial intelligence.

**[00:26:05]** Already today.

**[00:26:07]** And it was done by artificial intelligence,

**[00:26:09]** which you all have access to.

**[00:26:11]** For free.

**[00:26:13]** If you don't want to wait,

**[00:26:15]** you can pay 20 dollars.

**[00:26:17]** But applications like ChatGPT,

**[00:26:19]** u.com, Perplexity AI,

**[00:26:21]** search engines,

**[00:26:23]** are already working today.

**[00:26:25]** And when I talk to someone,

**[00:26:27]** and they say, I wouldn't know what to use it for.

**[00:26:29]** Then I start talking with them.

**[00:26:31]** Okay, so what do you do at work?

**[00:26:33]** You write emails, put things together,

**[00:26:35]** create, everything today

**[00:26:37]** can be simplified using these tools.

**[00:26:39]** So that's why I believe

**[00:26:41]** the utopia of getting rid of 50% of work

**[00:26:43]** is possible, because today we all

**[00:26:45]** have a copilot available.

**[00:26:47]** an assistant who

**[00:26:49]** fulfills a variety of roles.

**[00:26:51]** And of course, what you want to do,

**[00:26:53]** you keep to yourself.

**[00:26:55]** So I could tell

**[00:26:57]** the avatar to upload a video and play it

**[00:26:59]** in that cubicle, but of course that's something

**[00:27:01]** I keep to myself.

**[00:27:03]** Where is this heading?

**[00:27:05]** If you know the famous robots

**[00:27:07]** from Ironman or Interstellar,

**[00:27:09]** Jarvis and Tarse,

**[00:27:11]** this is exactly where it's heading.

**[00:27:13]** That means we'll have a virtual assistant

**[00:27:15]** who will talk to us normally.

**[00:27:17]** I prefer Tarse,

**[00:27:19]** partly because Interstellar is my favorite movie,

**[00:27:21]** and partly because you can set its humor.

**[00:27:23]** So you'll be able to set

**[00:27:25]** the style of humor of your AI.

**[00:27:27]** And what

**[00:27:29]** Altman himself says,

**[00:27:31]** the founder and CEO

**[00:27:33]** of OpenGPT,

**[00:27:35]** is that the intelligence will be yours.

**[00:27:37]** Today, when you write something there,

**[00:27:39]** it's very general.

**[00:27:41]** So you have to tweak the output a bit,

**[00:27:43]** but in the future,

**[00:27:45]** you might have your emails scanned,

**[00:27:47]** your messages, if you want.

**[00:27:49]** You write down your

**[00:27:51]** values, your style of humor,

**[00:27:53]** and the intelligence will behave like you.

**[00:27:55]** So even the assistant, when you say,

**[00:27:57]** please contact a few people

**[00:27:59]** on LinkedIn and write as you would.

**[00:28:01]** And this

**[00:28:03]** will be possible in just a few years.

**[00:28:05]** I hope I won't have to wait a few months

**[00:28:07]** Cut it when it happens this year.

**[00:28:09]** But that's where it all leads.

**[00:28:11]** And I am a big optimist

**[00:28:13]** in life, which might show a bit,

**[00:28:15]** but don't worry, of course I realize

**[00:28:17]** of course I realize

**[00:28:19]** all the challenges we will have to

**[00:28:21]** face. Whether these are challenges

**[00:28:23]** for individuals and our employment,

**[00:28:25]** or challenges for society,

**[00:28:27]** for education,

**[00:28:29]** for public finances.

**[00:28:31]** Fortunately, we have the solutions for that.

**[00:28:33]** Unfortunately, unfortunately,

**[00:28:35]** it requires two things.

**[00:28:37]** One is not that complicated, and that is

**[00:28:39]** the right technologies,

**[00:28:41]** but the other is education and training.

**[00:28:43]** And now I don't mean just education

**[00:28:45]** in schools.

**[00:28:47]** On the contrary. It's education for all of us

**[00:28:49]** and maybe the most important.

**[00:28:51]** It's education for politicians.

**[00:28:53]** Because I think,

**[00:28:55]** and I will write a lot about it in the newsletter,

**[00:28:57]** I have a certain recipe for how it could be

**[00:28:59]** handled in society. And when I watch

**[00:29:01]** our politicians, I think none of them,

**[00:29:03]** maybe a few people, really know

**[00:29:05]** where this is heading.

**[00:29:07]** That means they try to solve future problems

**[00:29:09]** with today's perspective.

**[00:29:11]** And we really have to look at it

**[00:29:13]** completely differently. And if we say,

**[00:29:15]** that today we work and tax work,

**[00:29:17]** and in the future robots will work, it's not that

**[00:29:19]** we will tax the robot.

**[00:29:21]** We have to work completely differently.

**[00:29:23]** But I believe

**[00:29:25]** we will succeed

**[00:29:27]** and what needs to be realized

**[00:29:29]** so I’m not overly optimistic again,

**[00:29:31]** is that after all,

**[00:29:33]** there are certain risks for us here

**[00:29:35]** and the biggest risk is if we don’t learn

**[00:29:37]** to work with technologies.

**[00:29:39]** And this is nothing new.

**[00:29:41]** In my career, I have been involved

**[00:29:43]** in implementing technologies in companies

**[00:29:45]** and I have long seen that a person

**[00:29:47]** who can work well with technologies

**[00:29:49]** is much more productive

**[00:29:51]** than someone who cannot.

**[00:29:53]** And in the age of artificial intelligence, this is even more true.

**[00:29:55]** So this

**[00:29:57]** is a bit of a wake-up call,

**[00:29:59]** to really start dealing with it, because whoever puts it on the back burner,

**[00:30:00]** may end up left behind on that back burner themselves.

**[00:30:05]** How to work with it? I believe we need to focus on these three areas.

**[00:30:09]** That means upgrading our thinking, our mindset, developing skills

**[00:30:16]** and introducing new ways of working to prepare for the future of work.

**[00:30:21]** Mindset is the most important, and here you all have an open mindset.

**[00:30:27]** You probably know the concept of growth mindset versus fixed mindset.

**[00:30:31]** I think now is the time to test whether we really have a growth mindset,

**[00:30:35]** because until now it was relatively easy.

**[00:30:38]** But now I see that even people who have spoken about growth mindset in lectures

**[00:30:42]** are writing to me saying they are starting to worry about what’s coming.

**[00:30:48]** So now our mindset will be tested, and if we look at how it might turn out,

**[00:30:53]** there are two extremes.

**[00:30:59]** One extreme is Harari, the famous philosopher and historian, who predicts

**[00:31:02]** the emergence of something like a useless class.

**[00:31:09]** These will be people who are not only unemployed but unemployable,

**[00:31:13]** because what Harari says is that 99% of what humans do

**[00:31:22]** better, faster, with higher quality, and 24 hours a day.

**[00:31:24]** On the other hand, we have Noah Smith and other drivers,

**[00:31:28]** who say we must innovate much more,

**[00:31:31]** because today we are already missing tens of thousands of drivers, maybe hundreds of thousands.

**[00:31:34]** We lack workers, and this is not just us, as Western civilization,

**[00:31:44]** which innovates and invests in these technologies.

**[00:31:48]** Here we're talking about GPT OpenAI and Google and Microsoft.

**[00:31:52]** Then there's the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence with its Voodao system,

**[00:31:57]** Road to Awareness and others.

**[00:31:59]** So there will be new kinds of races that will drive innovation.

**[00:32:04]** And on one hand, history has always shown that it ended well,

**[00:32:08]** because for hundreds of years we've been developing tools that replace human labor

**[00:32:13]** and yet everyone still works.

**[00:32:15]** We even work more.

**[00:32:17]** We might not work on Saturdays, but we still work quite a lot compared to

**[00:32:21]** what was promised to us.

**[00:32:23]** So usually it looks like when a new technology arrives,

**[00:32:28]** the original one, of course, loses jobs.

**[00:32:31]** Vinyl records probably disappeared first.

**[00:32:34]** Now they're for enthusiasts.

**[00:32:36]** Horses, which used to be the main means of transport,

**[00:32:39]** today are only for racing, a very narrow niche.

**[00:32:44]** But what we often don't notice is all the new things that emerge.

**[00:32:48]** So when cars came, suddenly car radios had to be made,

**[00:32:53]** cleaning products, toys, drive-ins.

**[00:32:57]** I don't know if there was a drive-in for horses anywhere.

**[00:33:00]** People started racing, documentaries about racing were made.

**[00:33:05]** So completely new professions and new businesses emerged,

**[00:33:09]** addressing needs we didn't even know we had before.

**[00:33:13]** Looking at it from the other side, the question is whether this will hold true in the future.

**[00:33:17]** Because this historical adaptation is not a law of physics.

**[00:33:21]** Just because it always happened in the last centuries doesn't mean it will continue.

**[00:33:26]** And what I fear the most, and at the same time see as the biggest opportunity,

**[00:33:30]** is that today one person can do the work of hundreds.

**[00:33:36]** A small team, if they know how to use tools well,

**[00:33:39]** can create a project for tens, hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands more people.

**[00:33:44]** So the big question is whether we will all really have jobs,

**[00:33:48]** but maybe these aren't the questions we should be asking.

**[00:33:53]** The questions we should ask are those that concern us.

**[00:33:57]** That means, what can I do to

**[00:34:01]** have a job, ideally a good job,

**[00:34:05]** so I don't have to exchange time for money,

**[00:34:09]** but rather create value and be able to design

**[00:34:13]** my own work and my life according to myself.

**[00:34:17]** I recommend looking at it from these two perspectives.

**[00:34:20]** The first is the opportunity perspective, so I look at where various opportunities are,

**[00:34:24]** that I could use for my work.

**[00:34:26]** And the second is risk management.

**[00:34:29]** By the way, I also have a prompt tip down here,

**[00:34:33]** which you can enter into ChatGPT.

**[00:34:35]** Ask what risk management is, and then try to follow up with a prompt,

**[00:34:38]** to explain it as if I were in fifth grade.

**[00:34:41]** It's explained much better that way.

**[00:34:44]** But when you look at risks, today, if you say,

**[00:34:48]** okay, how can artificial intelligence replace me?

**[00:34:51]** Usually, these are things you might not even want to do anymore.

**[00:34:55]** That means when I look today at how AI can replace me,

**[00:34:57]** okay, it's consulting.

**[00:34:59]** If someone asks me something, it can answer them.

**[00:35:01]** So I ask, how can I use this today?

**[00:35:05]** Maybe today I can advise many more people,

**[00:35:08]** because I will use artificial intelligence for that.

**[00:35:10]** Or I will run a workshop so others can learn to use it,

**[00:35:13]** which I do, and there is quite some interest.

**[00:35:17]** And by doing this, I actually turn the risk that comes into my advantage.

**[00:35:20]** They are very closely related,

**[00:35:25]** and you can really look at any profession, any job this way.

**[00:35:27]** So I'll give a few examples.

**[00:35:32]** First, for example, a law firm, classic white collars,

**[00:35:33]** who today can, and some of my clients already are,

**[00:35:37]** using copilots, assistants for contract creation.

**[00:35:41]** For people without a lawyer, robotic lawyers will be used.

**[00:35:44]** This year, in February, in America, there was supposed to be for the first time

**[00:35:50]** a lawyer wearing an earpiece who only says what AI advises.

**[00:35:54]** They will also do contract summaries,

**[00:35:59]** or when they send a contract to a client, they will say to AI,

**[00:36:02]** make a summary in the client's language, not in legalese.

**[00:36:06]** All of this will be very easy to do with the help of AI.

**[00:36:10]** And of course, searching for information, verdicts, preparing arguments

**[00:36:15]** will be much, much easier.

**[00:36:19]** When we talk about manufacturing, I had a workshop for Bosch,

**[00:36:22]** a manufacturing company, when I showed these tools,

**[00:36:25]** one participant said, well, we have a system

**[00:36:28]** where in production, if someone finds a defect or problem,

**[00:36:36]** So they have to come to the computer and now fill out such a complicated table.

**[00:36:41]** What if they just said it in natural language and the table filled itself out?

**[00:36:46]** That's possible today.

**[00:36:48]** We're not talking about the future.

**[00:36:50]** And it clicked for him immediately.

**[00:36:52]** He looked at one example, completely clueless,

**[00:36:55]** and suddenly it clicked for his work.

**[00:36:57]** That means video training for foreign workers

**[00:37:00]** in dozens of languages at once,

**[00:37:02]** reporting to supervisors, I write a few bullet points

**[00:37:05]** and it turns into a nice presentation for management,

**[00:37:08]** who like presentations.

**[00:37:10]** Problem-solving proposals.

**[00:37:13]** Startups today work by having,

**[00:37:16]** to simplify, a microphone that listens to machine sounds,

**[00:37:20]** and when the first changes in the sound appear,

**[00:37:23]** they say, there might be a problem here.

**[00:37:25]** These startups have been around for several years.

**[00:37:27]** And all this will become cheaper and more accessible,

**[00:37:30]** so it can be used in manufacturing too.

**[00:37:33]** And the third example is a teacher, consultant, anyone

**[00:37:36]** who sells their know-how.

**[00:37:38]** Today I have, for example, the Adobe Podcast app,

**[00:37:41]** which works for free.

**[00:37:43]** I record a podcast at home in terrible quality.

**[00:37:46]** I upload it, AI cleans the sound,

**[00:37:49]** and makes it studio quality.

**[00:37:51]** You can't tell it wasn't recorded in a studio.

**[00:37:54]** So I can record podcasts,

**[00:37:56]** automatically create social media clips,

**[00:37:59]** and create a space where I run a program

**[00:38:02]** for hundreds of people at once.

**[00:38:04]** What's most interesting here,

**[00:38:06]** let's take an English teacher.

**[00:38:08]** An English teacher can go to companies or lessons,

**[00:38:11]** charge 500,000 crowns per hour, for example,

**[00:38:14]** and sell a program to a company for ten people.

**[00:38:18]** And they come once a week for an hour.

**[00:38:21]** Or they say stop.

**[00:38:23]** What if I created a program for the whole company?

**[00:38:26]** I'll start with a lecture,

**[00:38:28]** then recommend people the app duolingo-speak.com,

**[00:38:33]** which is its Korean app where you speak,

**[00:38:35]** and it tells you exactly what to say better.

**[00:38:38]** I'll recommend apps, create an online space,

**[00:38:41]** where they can come and share experiences,

**[00:38:43]** and then every two weeks we'll meet online

**[00:38:46]** and talk about our progress.

**[00:38:49]** Instead of, say, twenty hours of attendance,

**[00:38:52]** the program is prepared in ten hours,

**[00:38:55]** then ten hours are invested in sharing,

**[00:38:58]** but it can be sold for a hundred times more,

**[00:39:00]** because it will have a much greater impact.

**[00:39:02]** That's exchanging work.

**[00:39:04]** Not trading time for money, but creating value.

**[00:39:07]** Thinking about how to use tools here,

**[00:39:09]** and that's exactly what my new mindset is for,

**[00:39:11]** because the old mindset is...

**[00:39:13]** It threatens me because an app might come,

**[00:39:15]** where maybe a person won't need a teacher.

**[00:39:18]** But that's not the case at all.

**[00:39:20]** The basis of the new mindset is digital thinking,

**[00:39:23]** which means there's an app for everything.

**[00:39:26]** Absolutely everything.

**[00:39:28]** That's why Apple registered the slogan

**[00:39:31]** There's an app for that.

**[00:39:33]** So when you're working on something,

**[00:39:35]** when you're stuck on something,

**[00:39:37]** there's always an app or some information.

**[00:39:40]** Ask chat GPT or Google.

**[00:39:42]** Or there's always someone who can help you.

**[00:39:45]** You just need to write to someone.

**[00:39:47]** It's actually that simple.

**[00:39:49]** So there's an app for everything,

**[00:39:51]** and many people are ready to help you with it.

**[00:39:54]** And artificial intelligence is also starting to be everywhere.

**[00:39:57]** Personally, I have a concept in progress where...

**[00:40:00]** I consider what I will keep creating as an author, where my unique value lies.

**[00:40:05]** Then what I will create but automate part of it.

**[00:40:09]** And what artificial intelligence will do for me.

**[00:40:12]** I think everyone should reflect on this, not just once, but regularly.

**[00:40:16]** Similarly, companies and schools should think about how to create an AI policy, or a strategy,

**[00:40:24]** on how we will work in the age of artificial intelligence.

**[00:40:27]** I really like using an AI policy created by a professor from MIT,

**[00:40:34]** sorry, from Wharton.

**[00:40:36]** I'm in contact with him and will write about it in my book.

**[00:40:38]** Right after ChatGPT was created, he developed a policy that directly tells students,

**[00:40:45]** it's possible we will work with artificial intelligence.

**[00:40:47]** In fact, some tasks will require it.

**[00:40:50]** And here are some rules on how we will work with it.

**[00:40:53]** Some damages are forbidden, some people approach me to discuss how to use it.

**[00:40:59]** And that’s exactly the new mindset.

**[00:41:01]** We don’t ban it, but let’s talk about how to use it, because we need to discuss what we want to achieve with it.

**[00:41:07]** It’s not use for the sake of use; after all, what is the goal of education?

**[00:41:11]** To educate.

**[00:41:11]** The goal of education is not to avoid using artificial intelligence.

**[00:41:15]** So we have to return to the basics and seek again the meaning of what we do

**[00:41:20]** and how new technologies can help us with that.

**[00:41:23]** Then we have new skills.

**[00:41:26]** That’s not so simple anymore, because a new mindset only needs inspiration, talking with people, experimenting.

**[00:41:32]** New skills require time, attention, and energy.

**[00:41:37]** The good news is that since it’s a skill, it can be learned.

**[00:41:40]** The bad news for some is that it requires time and attention.

**[00:41:45]** I always say that the calendar is full.

**[00:41:48]** The fuller your calendar, the more you have to stop.

**[00:41:53]** You can’t do it without that time.

**[00:41:55]** So when I talk to someone about introducing new technologies and they show me their packed calendar,

**[00:42:00]** I say, how else do you want to solve it?

**[00:42:02]** Because the emails you get, the tasks you invent or receive,

**[00:42:07]** they will never stop coming.

**[00:42:09]** Or rather, hope they stop.

**[00:42:13]** But then maybe there will be no work.

**[00:42:14]** But we have to stop and talk about how we want to operate in the future.

**[00:42:19]** What skills we need.

**[00:42:21]** And I believe and see around me that the golden age of creators is coming.

**[00:42:25]** Creators.

**[00:42:27]** Whether we talk about the project DigiChallenge, which I invented and put together myself

**[00:42:32]** in about two days.

**[00:42:33]** Now I have 150 teams, another 200 on the waiting list, and I just connected existing apps.

**[00:42:40]** For me, that’s effortless work, creating something that emerges under my hands.

**[00:42:44]** They are artists who let artificial intelligence repaint paintings and explore the possibilities.

**[00:42:50]** They are children programming in the Scratch app.

**[00:42:54]** And when I look at what my eleven-year-old son creates, it's all made by him.

**[00:42:59]** Once I complained to him that instead of programming, he was playing some game.

**[00:43:03]** He said, no, I created that game.

**[00:43:05]** Only, he created the graphics with the help of artificial intelligence, so it looked completely professional.

**[00:43:12]** David Guetta created a text for Eminem in the style of Techno, then had it voiced and played it at a party, and it was a huge hit.

**[00:43:23]** And so on, learning, creating things, or my favorite example,

**[00:43:27]** where one person made a theme tune at home in the style of the series White Lotus.

**[00:43:33]** That means he combined two films, or rather series, and created something completely new.

**[00:43:39]** He said it didn’t happen immediately; it took about a week, but it’s amazing what technology allows us to do today.

**[00:43:45]** And that’s why imagination and creativity are more important than digital skills,

**[00:43:51]** far more important is the ability to create systems.

**[00:43:55]** By systems, I mean coming up with a project and then figuring out how to put it together.

**[00:43:59]** And it doesn’t matter if I put it together in Excel or something else.

**[00:44:03]** These are also small systems, like when I had to give a lecture at a conference

**[00:44:09]** and then act as a guide between pre-recorded talks,

**[00:44:13]** and company representatives had to introduce themselves.

**[00:44:17]** They said, Filip, all the speakers will send you their presentations,

**[00:44:21]** so you know what they’re talking about.

**[00:44:23]** I said stop.

**[00:44:25]** I definitely don’t want anyone sending me presentations.

**[00:44:27]** Here is a shared table, I uploaded a video explaining how we will approach this.

**[00:44:31]** When you have the final version of your presentation, upload the link here.

**[00:44:35]** That, to me, is also system creation.

**[00:44:37]** I don’t want to track 20 people sending me presentations and keep records.

**[00:44:41]** So for me, creating a system means I am the creator,

**[00:44:45]** and if I don’t like something, I decide how I want it done differently.

**[00:44:49]** Then there’s general knowledge and broad perspective.

**[00:44:51]** About possibilities, technologies, and other things.

**[00:44:55]** If I ask AI to draw or design a presentation in the style of Mondrian,

**[00:45:01]** I have to be a Mondrian myself to give that instruction.

**[00:45:05]** So that broad knowledge and general knowledge is and will be increasingly important.

**[00:45:11]** Maybe the things we grind through at school aren’t completely useless.

**[00:45:15]** As they say, if you can find everything, then it’s no longer about searching.

**[00:45:18]** I create, I no longer search, so I have to know those things.

**[00:45:21]** And for me, it’s very interesting to observe the influence of languages.

**[00:45:26]** So that means all the things we grind through here,

**[00:45:30]** for me, it’s very interesting to observe the influence of languages

**[00:45:35]** on how you control artificial intelligence.

**[00:45:39]** I learned English and Spanish.

**[00:45:42]** I'm not as good at Spanish as I am at English, but I can still get by.

**[00:45:46]** It's really interesting to watch when I try giving different commands to artificial intelligence,

**[00:45:50]** how Spanish handles it.

**[00:45:52]** Because it has a reversed word order.

**[00:45:55]** So when you have the NATO organization, in Spanish it's OTAN.

**[00:46:00]** Now, when you try entering prompts, I sometimes try swapping the words.

**[00:46:04]** And sometimes I try Spanish, sometimes English.

**[00:46:06]** It's incredible how that affects the quality of the output.

**[00:46:09]** So all these will be skills worth their weight in gold,

**[00:46:13]** because honestly, digital skills you can just input.

**[00:46:17]** You enter them.

**[00:46:19]** Of course, it's good to know what you can do, but you can input them.

**[00:46:23]** And besides that, it takes courage.

**[00:46:26]** Like I said at the start. Try something, experiment,

**[00:46:30]** venture into something new.

**[00:46:33]** Digital skills.

**[00:46:35]** The three most important for me: Low-code, which basically means

**[00:46:38]** that each of us is a bit of a programmer today,

**[00:46:41]** so when I want to implement artificial intelligence on my phone,

**[00:46:44]** I use an Apple shortcut app or some app on my phone and set it up.

**[00:46:49]** The more important part is being able to connect different apps.

**[00:46:55]** That means if I want to create a system,

**[00:46:57]** I use one app, connect it to another, and not

**[00:47:00]** have one system I have to adapt to,

**[00:47:03]** but that I assemble the apps myself.

**[00:47:05]** So when I do something at work, I use a combination of Microsoft Forms,

**[00:47:08]** connect it to Microsoft Lists, then automate it somewhere else,

**[00:47:12]** and basically I adapt the tools

**[00:47:15]** to digitalize and automate the work.

**[00:47:18]** And today, when I see 15-year-old boys and girls,

**[00:47:24]** how they create code themselves or use Copilot

**[00:47:27]** to generate scripts and automate anything,

**[00:47:30]** these are the people you can work with

**[00:47:32]** to turn your dreams into reality.

**[00:47:35]** But as I said, it's more important to ask what you want to use it for.

**[00:47:39]** Sometimes I have a workshop at a company and ask,

**[00:47:44]** what would you like to change, what bothers you, what would you want...

**[00:47:49]** Imagine you have an unlimited budget,

**[00:47:52]** and you have the chance to have a technology expert here.

**[00:47:56]** And some people don't know at all.

**[00:47:59]** Then there are those who already have a list written,

**[00:48:02]** and the only thing holding them back is not having the budget for an expert.

**[00:48:05]** But if...

**[00:48:07]** That's exactly why imagination and creativity are important.

**[00:48:10]** Why it's necessary to get inspired, that's why you're here.

**[00:48:12]** I don't need to tell you that.

**[00:48:14]** That's why you come to Brain & Breakfast.

**[00:48:17]** But when I don't know what could improve my work,

**[00:48:23]** that's a bit of a red flag for me.

**[00:48:27]** I need to get more inspired.

**[00:48:29]** And there's one more skill that's important.

**[00:48:32]** At first, I thought it would be a separate chapter,

**[00:48:35]** but then I realized it would be a separate section.

**[00:48:39]** And that is leadership.

**[00:48:41]** The ability to lead.

**[00:48:43]** To take command, or rather, to lead.

**[00:48:46]** To take the lead.

**[00:48:48]** When I first did a workshop for IKEA,

**[00:48:52]** and you all sit on ready-made chairs, but I assume you know,

**[00:48:56]** I looked at their leadership principles.

**[00:49:03]** And principle number eight caught my attention.

**[00:49:06]** Not because of the title, but more because of the first sentence.

**[00:49:10]** Leadership is action, never a position.

**[00:49:16]** Proactivity, engagement.

**[00:49:18]** That I say stop, why are we doing it this way,

**[00:49:21]** let's do it a bit differently, let's try something new.

**[00:49:25]** That I might try something even without getting permission first.

**[00:49:30]** To me, that's leadership.

**[00:49:32]** And I believe that digitalization in general,

**[00:49:36]** this new era offers huge opportunities to people

**[00:49:40]** who take action.

**[00:49:43]** They don't have to be formal leaders, they don't have to lead a team.

**[00:49:47]** Every team member can say, why do we keep forwarding this document

**[00:49:51]** instead of sharing it in one place.

**[00:49:53]** Anyone can do that.

**[00:49:56]** That's why one of my principles for leading my teams,

**[00:50:00]** and companies, or rather, I don't lead much anymore, but the culture I want,

**[00:50:07]** I call it BUF.

**[00:50:10]** Brutally honest feedback.

**[00:50:12]** A quick note, Flipe.

**[00:50:15]** But that's the only way to find out where we need to improve, what we should do, and what we should do better.

**[00:50:22]** And in a time when new intelligent tools are emerging, it won't just be about

**[00:50:27]** forwarding something by email and having it all in one place.

**[00:50:32]** It will be about someone asking why we spend tens of hours on some analysis,

**[00:50:36]** when we can just ask a few questions to artificial intelligence.

**[00:50:40]** That will have an even bigger impact.

**[00:50:42]** This means the gap will grow between teams that use artificial intelligence

**[00:50:48]** and those that don't, and it's our task to bring it into our teams.

**[00:50:55]** So each of us is a leader, and the same applies in private life.

**[00:50:59]** That means I can come home and say, let's talk about this, let's try something out.

**[00:51:04]** If you have kids aged 8 or older, they can already play with Scratch, so give them a task.

**[00:51:11]** Have them create a project using artificial intelligence.

**[00:51:14]** Here is Interior AI, take a photo of your room, try to imagine how your room could look.

**[00:51:19]** Let them play with it, try it out, think about it.

**[00:51:23]** If you have entrepreneurial kids, they'll start coming up with things to sell.

**[00:51:28]** Entrepreneurship will also be extremely important.

**[00:51:31]** And that brings me to the last part, which is a new way of working.

**[00:51:37]** Because the world of independent professionals, who could always do what they wanted,

**[00:51:42]** and the world of company employees are coming very close together.

**[00:51:46]** These are exactly the same two pictures.

**[00:51:48]** When I go on Workations, I used to mostly meet digital nomads.

**[00:51:56]** People who can work from anywhere, pack everything up, that means for a while,

**[00:52:00]** and go work somewhere else.

**[00:52:02]** This year, I met several people who came from corporations.

**[00:52:06]** Two or three weeks working somewhere else.

**[00:52:08]** Because most of their work is online anyway.

**[00:52:12]** And the worlds are blending in that if you're skilled, you're a creator

**[00:52:17]** and you invent your own work.

**[00:52:19]** It's called job crafting.

**[00:52:21]** That means you adapt your work and tasks to what you want to do, where you add value.

**[00:52:27]** Or when looking for a new job, you don't apply as one of fifty,

**[00:52:31]** but you come with this: I can do this, this is my value, I want this much.

**[00:52:35]** Whether you get hired or three companies pay you some amount, it doesn't matter.

**[00:52:41]** Likewise, with the shift to home office and remote work,

**[00:52:45]** it's up to me how I manage my time and design my working hours.

**[00:52:51]** So I believe these two worlds are merging.

**[00:52:54]** Entrepreneurship, employment, and everything in between.

**[00:52:57]** Many participants in my Masterclass projects have side projects.

**[00:53:02]** One person working at a bank recently showed me they have a blueberry farm in Czech Canada.

**[00:53:07]** Someone else has a different project, so for future work it will be about

**[00:53:12]** maybe working part-time and having other projects,

**[00:53:15]** or having it arranged completely differently.

**[00:53:17]** Completely differently.

**[00:53:18]** And again, we are dealing not only with what technologies to use,

**[00:53:22]** but also with what ways of working.

**[00:53:25]** I was very inspired by a book from the CEO of Intel.

**[00:53:31]** It's somewhat old school, I would say, as it's basically a management guide from the 90s,

**[00:53:38]** but one of the key ideas was that they realized everything is production.

**[00:53:46]** Even the finance department produces something.

**[00:53:49]** Even HR produces something.

**[00:53:51]** And if something is production, we can look at it and make it more efficient.

**[00:53:56]** Unfortunately, what I see in my practice is that we rarely look at what we do.

**[00:54:01]** It may sound trivial, but I remember listening to a podcast,

**[00:54:07]** I think with Martina Suchomilová, HR director at Avast,

**[00:54:10]** who described that when the pandemic came,

**[00:54:13]** they looked at some of their processes.

**[00:54:16]** And when they looked at the percentage of new hires,

**[00:54:20]** they found that a new employee is contacted eleven times by seven different people.

**[00:54:28]** Only when they mapped out the process and examined it,

**[00:54:31]** did they see the shortcomings and could improve it.

**[00:54:35]** The podcast is publicly available, so you can listen to it.

**[00:54:38]** And when we look at our own process, we always find things that can be improved.

**[00:54:44]** It's just that often in our business, in our busyness, we don't see it.

**[00:54:49]** And I say every team should at least once look at one process and see,

**[00:54:54]** what can I automate, what can I improve.

**[00:54:56]** And it doesn't have to be just technological.

**[00:54:58]** I recently saw that one of our teams, a colleague said,

**[00:55:01]** I'm stuck because I have too many calls with our suppliers.

**[00:55:06]** So he said, why don't you give me an open door hour?

**[00:55:09]** Every Friday from 8 to 10, sure, and more people come.

**[00:55:12]** It's the same thing, you're explaining to everyone over and over how our marketplace will look.

**[00:55:18]** No new tool was needed for that.

**[00:55:20]** Just rearranging his work differently.

**[00:55:23]** And what inspired me the most,

**[00:55:26]** really the most, was one of the strongest moments in my life,

**[00:55:30]** which was the start of our collaboration with Doris.

**[00:55:34]** Doris is a very capable young woman who has certain limitations,

**[00:55:39]** which prevent her from working, but she graduated from university and is very active.

**[00:55:45]** I read an interview where she described her experience looking for a job

**[00:55:51]** And in that interview, she described sending her resume to 92 companies.

**[00:55:57]** And none of them hired her.

**[00:56:00]** I said, well, that's a challenge, that's a challenge.

**[00:56:03]** And we started working with Doris.

**[00:56:06]** Because I realized one thing.

**[00:56:10]** By starting to work with some limitations,

**[00:56:15]** it forces us to innovate.

**[00:56:18]** Let me give an example.

**[00:56:20]** We designed a process where it was sometimes necessary to contact suppliers,

**[00:56:23]** who wouldn't sign a contract and needed reminders.

**[00:56:26]** So what would a 'normal' person do?

**[00:56:29]** Write an email.

**[00:56:31]** Maybe 20 times a month.

**[00:56:33]** Again and again the same email.

**[00:56:35]** Here we thought we need to make a button automation,

**[00:56:38]** select a template and send it.

**[00:56:40]** Then just press the button and it sends.

**[00:56:43]** Just yesterday, Doris and I were chatting about how to use chat GPT.

**[00:56:47]** Because when you can't type quickly on a computer,

**[00:56:50]** you have to find another way to write.

**[00:56:54]** But often, since we don't have these limitations,

**[00:56:58]** we aren't forced to stop

**[00:57:00]** and we keep doing the same things over and over.

**[00:57:03]** Constantly.

**[00:57:05]** So one of the most important questions we should ask ourselves is,

**[00:57:09]** what can I do today

**[00:57:12]** to make my work easier tomorrow?

**[00:57:14]** It could be a shortcut I create on my phone.

**[00:57:16]** I just set up a great shortcut.

**[00:57:19]** Someone shared it on Twitter.

**[00:57:20]** Double tap the phone,

**[00:57:22]** a recorder starts, I dictate a note,

**[00:57:26]** it saves as a task and reminds me at 8 PM.

**[00:57:31]** Then I can rewrite it or categorize it somewhere.

**[00:57:34]** A simple thing.

**[00:57:35]** And beware, don't underestimate the power of small automations.

**[00:57:40]** If you watch Netflix,

**[00:57:43]** sometimes you watch several episodes of a series at once.

**[00:57:48]** In English, it's called binge-watching.

**[00:57:51]** Sometimes it's tough because you have to say, just one more.

**[00:57:56]** This leads to marital disputes.

**[00:57:58]** You shared them endlessly.

**[00:58:03]** My friends once came up with a winning trick,

**[00:58:05]** that they always stop watching halfway through the episode.

**[00:58:08]** Because there's always a plot twist at the end.

**[00:58:11]** And at the start, there's a skip intro button.

**[00:58:16]** You can skip those 20-30 seconds,

**[00:58:19]** that some creative person spent a month or more on before me and AI.

**[00:58:25]** And those 30-40 seconds

**[00:58:28]** save 195 years of life every day.

**[00:58:32]** Because it's pressed 300 million times daily.

**[00:58:36]** It may not seem like much, but these are small things we do ourselves in companies.

**[00:58:41]** These are exactly the reasons why we have to keep working so hard.

**[00:58:45]** Because we don't reflect on what we could do differently.

**[00:58:49]** So what I recommend is to focus on scalability.

**[00:58:54]** Scalability means how I can do something multiple times, more times.

**[00:58:57]** Imagine, a perfect example, I was at a bank,

**[00:59:01]** I had a team responsible for branch development,

**[00:59:06]** and I asked, okay, how many branches does each worker manage?

**[00:59:09]** Let's say ten.

**[00:59:11]** And I said, imagine if you had a hundred.

**[00:59:14]** Ten times more.

**[00:59:15]** How would you handle it?

**[00:59:17]** The first answer was, I'd probably jump out the window.

**[00:59:21]** I said, no, let's think about it, if I had ten times more,

**[00:59:25]** say I'm an HR person, if I had ten times more job applications,

**[00:59:28]** what would I do?

**[00:59:30]** I'd have to use video calls because I couldn't handle it otherwise.

**[00:59:33]** I'd have to organize a webinar,

**[00:59:36]** because questions would come in and I wouldn't want to explain everything individually.

**[00:59:41]** If we keep increasing things by a few, we won't force ourselves to innovate.

**[00:59:45]** So try focusing on what would happen if you had ten times more right now.

**[00:59:51]** And automate it, innovate it.

**[00:59:54]** The second principle: with one decision, replace dozens of smaller ones.

**[00:59:57]** If I spend a lot of time

**[01:00:00]** creating offers for my lectures for companies,

**[01:00:03]** I say stop, I'll make a document,

**[01:00:06]** notion, one note, whatever, add a short video,

**[01:00:09]** where I introduce it, list four topics, clearly state prices,

**[01:00:12]** and that's it. Because the discussions keep going around in circles.

**[01:00:15]** That means, with one decision, one action,

**[01:00:18]** I replace dozens of smaller ones. For me, it's also that,

**[01:00:21]** I might wear nothing but a blue t-shirt. Or really.

**[01:00:24]** But it makes things much simpler.

**[01:00:27]** And third, create a system that lets you do

**[01:00:30]** more with less. A simple idea,

**[01:00:33]** but we have to keep coming back to it. How can we

**[01:00:36]** simplify our work? What takes up our time today?

**[01:00:39]** These are exactly the discussions we all need to have.

**[01:00:42]** But at the end of the day, it's really

**[01:00:45]** about each of us being creators. And I really like

**[01:00:48]** Derek Sivers and his podcast

**[01:00:52]** and interviews, and although he frames it around business,

**[01:00:55]** I think it really applies to each of us.

**[01:00:58]** Each of us can create the rules that work for us.

**[01:01:01]** It's up to me whether I learn something. It's up to me whether

**[01:01:04]** I try something out. And there I can design it

**[01:01:07]** for myself. So I recommend everyone to

**[01:01:10]** live by that, because you can do anything.

**[01:01:13]** You have assistants, marketers,

**[01:01:16]** copywriters, anything that can help you today.

**[01:01:19]** Many of the technologies I've talked about

**[01:01:22]** are free. So even if you don't have them at your company, if

**[01:01:25]** you work in large companies, you need to create

**[01:01:28]** a playground on the side where you can play and experiment.

**[01:01:31]** Because all these technologies will soon

**[01:01:34]** be part of office applications.

**[01:01:37]** And it's a matter of weeks or months. The key

**[01:01:40]** question is how it helps me

**[01:01:43]** do more with less. Whether your ambition

**[01:01:46]** is to do a lot, or just to make your life

**[01:01:49]** better with less work. Because sometimes people ask me,

**[01:01:52]** well, okay, but if everything becomes technological,

**[01:01:55]** and avatars do everything, what about relationships at work and so on.

**[01:01:58]** I know, but for me, life is out there.

**[01:02:01]** And I prefer, when the weather is nice, to go cycling

**[01:02:04]** during work, rather than being at work from morning till night.

**[01:02:07]** So the overall goal isn't for us all to be

**[01:02:10]** completely digital and fully online.

**[01:02:13]** But really to do what we enjoy,

**[01:02:17]** where we find value, what we enjoy, where we get into flow,

**[01:02:20]** so we don't even think of it as work.

**[01:02:23]** That where we mindlessly click the mouse, technology should do it for us,

**[01:02:26]** and we should decide what we won't do,

**[01:02:29]** because artificial intelligence will do it for us.

**[01:02:33]** Thank you for your attention.

**[01:09:54]** Thank you.

**[01:09:57]** Thank you.

**[01:10:00]** Isn't it a risk for personal data, that AI's access to emails and such could be prevented by AI owners,

**[01:10:08]** so that they profit behind the scenes and misuse personal data?

**[01:10:11]** Great question, and there is no difference between digital security today, five years ago, or five years from now.

**[01:10:19]** Digital security is one of the five basic digital skills.

**[01:10:23]** And if I don't want my sensitive data to get to someone unauthorized,

**[01:10:28]** I simply don't put it in unauthorized places.

**[01:10:31]** When Amazon employees were warned not to put internal information into ChatGPT,

**[01:10:38]** because that information could then start appearing to other people.

**[01:10:42]** But that's exactly the same.

**[01:10:44]** I probably shouldn't put it on some website where I don't know the owner.

**[01:10:49]** So the same digital security principles apply everywhere.

**[01:10:53]** And the other thing is, your emails are already somewhere out there today.

**[01:10:58]** Don't worry about that.

**[01:11:00]** So if I...

**[01:11:02]** And a big advantage is that the big providers like Microsoft and Google will start providing AI for me.

**[01:11:06]** So they already have read your emails anyway.

**[01:11:08]** Don't worry about that.

**[01:11:10]** It's more about the balance of what I want to do with it and what information I share with them.

**[01:11:12]** But of course, it's important to keep that in mind.

**[01:11:18]** What will be more dangerous is that we already see quite sophisticated internet scams today,

**[01:11:20]** where someone writes as an American doctor in Afghanistan and extracts tens of thousands from someone.

**[01:11:27]** And I can do that with AI for a thousand people at once.

**[01:11:35]** So it's possible that on dating sites there will be virtual people,

**[01:11:39]** who will date and communicate normally.

**[01:11:43]** So some people won't even realize they're talking to someone who doesn't exist,

**[01:11:46]** and they will be tricked this way.

**[01:11:51]** That means even scams will look different.

**[01:11:53]** And that's why it's important to talk about it at home and at work.

**[01:11:55]** And one thing anyone can do is, when you find one case,

**[01:11:59]** you read about it in the news.

**[01:12:04]** It could be just my avatar, and now someone has used it pretending to be from Fiobank, I think.

**[01:12:06]** Here is your personal banker.

**[01:12:13]** It was just a normal avatar speaking.

**[01:12:15]** Once you find something like that, the least you can do is forward it to your colleagues, forward it to parents.

**[01:12:21]** Although my mom always says, you think I'm some kind of idiot.

**[01:12:24]** But that's the least each of us can do.

**[01:12:29]** Spread awareness about safety.

**[01:12:33]** This question really caught my attention and got liked.

**[01:12:38]** I can easily find a job I enjoy and that brings me value, like your dad in Monterky.

**[01:12:43]** But how do we ensure we earn such a job?

**[01:12:51]** I would first say it's good to sometimes approach work with the idea of earning a different kind of capital than just financial.

**[01:12:57]** It means, as they say, it takes seven years for overnight success.

**[01:13:03]** In the past, I lectured at dozens of conferences where I didn't get paid a penny.

**[01:13:08]** And sometimes I asked myself, why do you do it if you don't get paid?

**[01:13:12]** But you learn to lecture, people get to know you, and so on.

**[01:13:16]** And that's how it works in many cases.

**[01:13:18]** It means I gain some capital, which can be knowledge, social, networking, and so on.

**[01:13:26]** So that's the first thing that can advance your value.

**[01:13:29]** The second thing is to look at what problem you're solving and if someone is willing to pay for it.

**[01:13:36]** When I was away recently, I talked to a 15-year-old boy,

**[01:13:41]** who was always inventing some automations.

**[01:13:43]** I always told him what he could learn.

**[01:13:45]** And when he sat in the coworking space, he was always talking to someone.

**[01:13:50]** And we talked, well, there was a guy making some videos,

**[01:13:54]** and I showed him how to automate that.

**[01:13:56]** And I said, okay, try offering it to him,

**[01:13:59]** maybe automate it for 50 euros.

**[01:14:02]** And he tried, just tried it.

**[01:14:04]** Because if it has value for the other person, then he can earn from it.

**[01:14:08]** And of course, it's not always like that, that's clear.

**[01:14:11]** Then the question is whether the work can be done for some kind of reward,

**[01:14:14]** so I can earn from it.

**[01:14:15]** But that's actually the ultimate goal, which is nothing new.

**[01:14:18]** It's the Japanese concept of ikigai, which is considered,

**[01:14:22]** one of the reasons for longevity,

**[01:14:25]** when you find a job or life, I don't really distinguish,

**[01:14:29]** where you do what you're good at, what you love,

**[01:14:32]** what earns you money, and what is good for society.

**[01:14:34]** There is also the social impact.

**[01:14:36]** So that's the ultimate impact, the ultimate goal.

**[01:14:39]** And I think the financial value can also be found there.

**[01:14:44]** For me, I see it even in myself,

**[01:14:47]** That people come to me who want to work.

**[01:14:50]** And people come to me who want me to solve some problem for them.

**[01:14:53]** And that's a huge difference.

**[01:14:55]** They tell me upfront, I'll take care of social media now,

**[01:14:58]** tell me how much, and if I see I won't have to do any work,

**[01:15:02]** then I immediately want to cooperate with them.

**[01:15:04]** And you need to approach it entrepreneurially like this,

**[01:15:07]** when you're looking for a job and want to find some income or side income.

**[01:15:12]** I have a bit of a feeling that here we run into the fact

**[01:15:16]** that we can drive 10 kilometers to a gas station somewhere,

**[01:15:22]** where they have cheaper gas for people over 50,

**[01:15:25]** versus realizing

**[01:15:28]** that I could use that time more efficiently.

**[01:15:30]** And for example, like you say, I would outsource it somewhere,

**[01:15:33]** so someone solves it for me and I could spend that time

**[01:15:36]** on something that has much greater value for me.

**[01:15:38]** Actually, people might be missing this mindset,

**[01:15:41]** because we were raised in some system,

**[01:15:44]** because when I talk to people who have to ask for money somewhere

**[01:15:49]** and maybe they really know a lot, but they have to sell themselves,

**[01:15:51]** it's a huge problem for them.

**[01:15:53]** So maybe we should start working on that in education too.

**[01:15:56]** I totally agree. I have that problem too.

**[01:16:00]** You have to raise your prices, you have to raise your prices.

**[01:16:02]** But if I know I have that problem, then it's a skill,

**[01:16:06]** so I can ask for money, try different techniques.

**[01:16:10]** More or less, it applies that if I have a problem with something,

**[01:16:13]** it's good to look at the problem from above.

**[01:16:15]** That means, what kind of problem is it, how can it be solved, and start working on it.

**[01:16:19]** Once I consciously start working on these things,

**[01:16:21]** I can move forward in it.

**[01:16:24]** It's a problem, but I think it can be solved.

**[01:16:26]** And there's another aspect, which is that it's good to talk about these things.

**[01:16:34]** That means, if I put my ego aside a bit,

**[01:16:38]** I can talk to someone who maybe knows how to earn money with something

**[01:16:42]** and try to ask them.

**[01:16:44]** How do they do it, how much should I ask for.

**[01:16:46]** Because honestly, the worst thing that can happen to you

**[01:16:49]** is that someone tells you they don't want to talk about it with you.

**[01:16:52]** Which isn't that bad after all.

**[01:16:54]** So we're not alone in this, and maybe that's something we're missing a bit.

**[01:16:57]** Like they say, people in the States go to their therapist,

**[01:17:02]** maybe we should open up more and talk about the things

**[01:17:05]** we deal with at work.

**[01:17:07]** And I feel like the philosophy that

**[01:17:10]** raising your hand and asking is a weakness,

**[01:17:14]** we need to flip that around.

**[01:17:16]** Because usually, when we go to lectures and say,

**[01:17:18]** now it's time for questions, or in workshops,

**[01:17:20]** now you can ask, usually Czechs and Slovaks,

**[01:17:24]** hello, are so quiet that not many people ask.

**[01:17:29]** My coach taught me to work with silence.

**[01:17:32]** When I do an online workshop, I asked her.

**[01:17:36]** And when there was a few seconds of silence, I continued.

**[01:17:39]** And now I enjoy not saying anything.

**[01:17:41]** After a moment, it gets tense,

**[01:17:43]** and people start asking questions.

**[01:17:46]** You're right.

**[01:17:47]** I remember when I did a workshop at a company,

**[01:17:49]** where the CEO was present, he always raised his hand.

**[01:17:52]** And he always said, 'a simple question'.

**[01:17:54]** I really liked that.

**[01:17:56]** Like he said, 'this might sound silly'.

**[01:17:59]** And that kind of justified it beforehand.

**[01:18:03]** So maybe find your own phrase if you're shy.

**[01:18:06]** And that's courage, overcoming those small challenges,

**[01:18:12]** which I think is huge, it's like a muscle,

**[01:18:15]** that when I start with these small challenges,

**[01:18:17]** I'm afraid to ask, I ask, I'm afraid to approach, I approach,

**[01:18:20]** I train it, and suddenly those things aren't a problem.

**[01:18:23]** By the way, I write about that small courage in my new book,

**[01:18:27]** because it always opened a lot of interesting doors for me.

**[01:18:31]** I remember when I started building Digiskills,

**[01:18:35]** then know-how club, I wrote to Seth Godin,

**[01:18:38]** one of the most famous bloggers in the world.

**[01:18:40]** Asking if I could translate his posts.

**[01:18:42]** He has tens of millions of readers,

**[01:18:45]** and I had an answer in ten minutes.

**[01:18:47]** You can translate six blogs a year, have fun.

**[01:18:50]** Or when I first used AliExpress,

**[01:18:53]** some services and I didn't like the process,

**[01:18:55]** so I suggested to them and sent it to China,

**[01:18:58]** if they wanted to do a workshop and fine-tune the process

**[01:19:01]** and about four weeks later I was already on a plane heading to Xiamen.

**[01:19:04]** That was at the beginning of my business.

**[01:19:06]** And that's also a trait we don't have.

**[01:19:10]** Says my favorite entrepreneur Richard Branson.

**[01:19:13]** Just say yes and you'll always learn.

**[01:19:16]** With the tools and technologies we have available,

**[01:19:19]** the learning curve can be extremely fast.

**[01:19:22]** And here I want to appeal a bit to women,

**[01:19:25]** because I feel and research proves it,

**[01:19:28]** that they often need to be absolutely sure

**[01:19:32]** before they say yes.

**[01:19:34]** Whereas we men sometimes just shoot from the hip,

**[01:19:36]** and learn along the way.

**[01:19:38]** So don't be afraid, no one, you can handle everything, you know everything,

**[01:19:41]** or you'll learn it along the way.

**[01:19:43]** And if not, well, try something else.

**[01:19:45]** Actually, we have nothing to fear.

**[01:19:48]** We have fears, but they're completely unnecessary.

**[01:19:52]** Actually, there's a question here from Alan,

**[01:19:54]** asking if you write your book yourself or if Chat GPT does.

**[01:20:00]** Chat GPT doesn't write it because it would keep repeating itself, the same information would keep repeating,

**[01:20:08]** but I use it a lot. For example, I use Perplexity AI, which is like Google,

**[01:20:15]** but unlike Chat GPT, it gives you an answer with sources.

**[01:20:20]** So if I say, is there a study about the importance of having fun at work,

**[01:20:25]** it writes a paragraph and immediately provides sources, so you can check and find interesting references.

**[01:20:32]** Sometimes I use it when I can't figure out how to shape a paragraph,

**[01:20:39]** I say, try rewriting it in this or that style, shorten it, lengthen it,

**[01:20:42]** but then I always rewrite it myself, meaning I don't copy it.

**[01:20:45]** The same goes for footnotes and other things.

**[01:20:50]** At the end of the book, there was even a chapter about how I used artificial intelligence to write this book.

**[01:20:56]** Chat GPT has current data up to 2021. What do you expect will be updated to the present?

**[01:21:02]** When will it be and how will it be?

**[01:21:03]** Well, the question is if it will be... By the way, OpenAI bought the domain AI.com,

**[01:21:08]** so I expect maybe it will come with the new generation,

**[01:21:13]** but since Microsoft and Google are now also entering this race,

**[01:21:18]** although their products aren't perfect yet, sometimes they're quite funny,

**[01:21:23]** I expect that in a few weeks or months they will already be part of regular search engines.

**[01:21:29]** Otherwise, you can try u.com, where they have uChat directly.

**[01:21:32]** It's not perfect in text like ChatGPT, but it does provide sources

**[01:21:36]** and can help you with current information.

**[01:21:40]** Here's a question about seminar papers.

**[01:21:45]** Once again, maybe many students are watching us.

**[01:21:50]** Here's the question: does writing seminar papers still make sense today?

**[01:21:54]** You talked about writing, but shouldn't this whole thing be redesigned?

**[01:22:03]** It definitely should, and again, let's ask ourselves why we want seminar papers to be written.

**[01:22:09]** If we want the student to have the ability to take any problem,

**[01:22:14]** gather available information, critically analyze the problem,

**[01:22:19]** and come to some conclusion or decision,

**[01:22:21]** OK, let's do it, but then let's talk about it.

**[01:22:24]** Let's not just have someone write something, submit it, and get an A or B,

**[01:22:29]** without any feedback.

**[01:22:31]** If it's just for the sake of writing, then let's not do it.

**[01:22:34]** So really, let's be clear about why we do it.

**[01:22:37]** I would also spice it up a bit,

**[01:22:40]** because when I see some topics taught in schools,

**[01:22:45]** about certain literary works, it's clear students aren't interested,

**[01:22:49]** versus giving new literature and maybe,

**[01:22:53]** showing the impact of, say, learning games on modern physics,

**[01:22:59]** I don't know, just an example, something that will engage students,

**[01:23:01]** where they will have more interest in the subject,

**[01:23:06]** and we need to ask why we do it.

**[01:23:10]** And the last thing I would recommend is always this:

**[01:23:15]** if you publish results from artificial intelligence,

**[01:23:18]** that's your responsibility.

**[01:23:19]** That means critical thinking will be even more important,

**[01:23:22]** just like with Google.

**[01:23:24]** When you find something on Google, it's up to you to check

**[01:23:27]** and evaluate whether the result is reliable or not.

**[01:23:30]** It's the same with artificial intelligence.

**[01:23:32]** So I think maybe instead of writing seminar papers,

**[01:23:35]** we should focus on academic debating

**[01:23:38]** and other subjects that help us think critically and analyze any problem

**[01:23:41]** from both sides and connect our bubbles,

**[01:23:44]** which is often a topic at Brain&Breakfast.

**[01:23:47]** I really like what you said,

**[01:23:53]** we'll just have a teaser again, a discussion that will take place after breakfast,

**[01:23:57]** where we'll go deeper, and we've already had a few such discussions

**[01:24:00]** and among the participants in those discussions was Honza Tyl,

**[01:24:03]** who was actually a participant in December and introduced the idea,

**[01:24:06]** that digital people are coming, meaning this was already in December 2021,

**[01:24:09]** so we already realized that something is happening.

**[01:24:12]** And in our discussion, where you were also present,

**[01:24:15]** he said that we will actually do something like,

**[01:24:18]** like priests, that we will give blessings,

**[01:24:21]** as if to artificial intelligence, like can it do this

**[01:24:24]** or can it do that or can it do this, in various fields.

**[01:24:27]** And I really liked the idea of giving blessings.

**[01:24:30]** By the way, here is an interesting question,

**[01:24:33]** I have it too. Do you have experience with making

**[01:24:36]** summaries from podcasts? I listen and write notes by hand

**[01:24:39]** and something helped me, it extracted key ideas and made summaries.

**[01:24:42]** Personally, I refine my thoughts with summaries

**[01:24:45]** and I make them for almost everything because they help me think.

**[01:24:48]** But here is a question about the extract.

**[01:24:51]** You could google it, but

**[01:24:54]** okay, I'll help.

**[01:24:57]** There is a tool called Tether This,

**[01:25:00]** toolongdon'treadthis.com, where you upload

**[01:25:03]** a YouTube link, for example, if the podcast is on YouTube,

**[01:25:06]** it will generate an output for you, it repeats a bit, but it's one of the things

**[01:25:09]** many startups and companies are working on.

**[01:25:12]** By the way, they say if you want to

**[01:25:15]** jump 6 years ahead, just skip 6 years,

**[01:25:18]** look somewhere else. So if you look at what is being worked on today in Silicon Valley

**[01:25:21]** or Austin, in those startup hubs,

**[01:25:24]** they are working on nothing else but AI applications. So this is one of the big topics.

**[01:25:27]** Microsoft already has it now in the new version

**[01:25:30]** 3.6.5, so if your company pays

**[01:25:33]** 7 dollars a month, it will give you meeting summaries

**[01:25:36]** and this whole scenario,

**[01:25:39]** when I have some content and want to summarize or shorten it,

**[01:25:42]** is appearing more and more, so just watch the market

**[01:25:45]** and soon it will be in Czech and even more advanced.

**[01:25:48]** Yeah, yeah, you're very close here. If you use all

**[01:25:54]** AI tools in Czech or is English an absolute necessity?

**[01:25:57]** And I really like that because I encounter it a lot.

**[01:26:00]** Let's go. That's great. I did a workshop

**[01:26:03]** and one gentleman

**[01:26:06]** wrote, please,

**[01:26:09]** or he wrote, do you know how to do something in Power Automate?

**[01:26:12]** And I put it into Chat GPT,

**[01:26:15]** I don't know where he wrote it,

**[01:26:18]** can you help me with how to do something?

**[01:26:21]** So I started with English,

**[01:26:24]** I just pasted it halfway,

**[01:26:27]** I copied the sentence there and it answered me normally.

**[01:26:30]** It didn't hesitate for even a second, which was

**[01:26:33]** absolutely amazing, so I copied it, put it there,

**[01:26:36]** and tried it. Of course, Czech

**[01:26:39]** is not perfect, English is,

**[01:26:42]** I often use combinations, I pay for DeepL,

**[01:26:45]** because DeepL.com

**[01:26:48]** is the best translator for me, and when you pay for it,

**[01:26:51]** you can add your own words, so I have

**[01:26:54]** my own glossary that I use, and sometimes I use it,

**[01:26:57]** so I create something, put it into DeepL, and then

**[01:27:00]** put it back, and it's a kind of work where

**[01:27:03]** let's say it's still like

**[01:27:06]** a three-month-old baby, that's GPT,

**[01:27:09]** so sometimes we say it's imperfect, but it's three months old.

**[01:27:12]** So I think it will learn,

**[01:27:15]** but for now, you need to try languages and play with it a bit.

**[01:27:20]** I could talk with you about this for a long time,

**[01:27:23]** but I think the time has come,

**[01:27:26]** and I want to thank you for your lecture

**[01:27:29]** and for the nice conversation we had. Thank you as well.

**[01:27:32]** Thank you very much. Thanks for the invitation.

**[01:27:38]** I would ask you to take your magical devices again,

**[01:27:41]** your mobiles, and try to vote on how you liked it today.

**[01:27:44]** You can either vote during the broadcast

**[01:27:47]** or in the app again, when you enter the hashtag Brain,

**[01:27:50]** it's already switched there.

**[01:27:53]** Well, I'll try to move on quickly.

**[01:27:59]** Filip and I would really like, since we prepared this breakfast,

**[01:28:02]** and we talked about it, for you to try to do

**[01:28:05]** at least one action and change something specific.

**[01:28:08]** Please change something. This would be

**[01:28:11]** a challenge for you, try not to postpone it,

**[01:28:14]** try to do it today or tomorrow.

**[01:28:17]** I truly believe it will help, whether you ask someone

**[01:28:20]** or look at chat GPT,

**[01:28:23]** from the 50% who haven't looked yet, and so on.

**[01:28:27]** I would be very glad if we kept the tradition

**[01:28:30]** and that after this breakfast and especially the content,

**[01:28:33]** you talked with someone around you. Whether it's your

**[01:28:36]** teams or someone in your family. Just try

**[01:28:39]** to talk about these things, what surprised you,

**[01:28:42]** and so on. As I said, we will have this circle

**[01:28:45]** on February 24th, which means it's in

**[01:28:48]** a week on Friday. At 8 in the morning,

**[01:28:51]** we will meet, besides Filip, Pepa Holí from Kanák in the network accepted the invitation,

**[01:28:54]** which means we will talk about critical thinking and what comes next.

**[01:28:57]** Honza Tyl,

**[01:29:00]** Ján Košťurák, Evanna Časová with AI Dětem, and

**[01:29:03]** Tomáš Mikolov and others. We want to invite many people

**[01:29:06]** who have something to say on this topic. So if

**[01:29:09]** you want to discuss with us and spend a nice hour

**[01:29:12]** and a half, then February 24th from 8 a.m.

**[01:29:15]** I think it will be a fruitful discussion.

**[01:29:18]** Red Button stands not only behind Brain and Breakfast,

**[01:29:22]** but there are many projects.

**[01:29:25]** One of them is the book of the month, so here is the book of the month

**[01:29:28]** for March, Ten Thoughts on Time. We also talked about time today,

**[01:29:31]** so it can nicely connect. Follow us further

**[01:29:34]** on Red Button.edu, whether

**[01:29:37]** it's the broadcast or things happening

**[01:29:40]** in expert communities, which is a very effective

**[01:29:43]** tool for sharing and moving forward.

**[01:29:46]** A QR code flashed a few times,

**[01:29:49]** so if you would like

**[01:30:01]** You can be on it.

**[01:30:00]** Stay in touch with us, be sure to subscribe to the newsletter and the most important on 23.3.

**[01:30:07]** Eliška Podzimková and her illustrated world. That will be the next breakfast,

**[01:30:12]** You can look forward to Eliška, an illustrator, an artist.

**[01:30:16]** It will be a bit different this time. I think we'll slow down a bit,

**[01:30:20]** but a very nice and touching story, woven with all sorts of things.

**[01:30:24]** So you can look forward to seeing you on 23.3. from 8:30.

**[01:30:28]** Thank you once again, thank you all, thank you for watching us,

**[01:30:31]** take care, goodbye and hi.

**[01:30:33]** Thanks.

**[01:30:34]** Great.
