📰 AI NEWS RECAP

ChatGPT Saves Lives

Bethany Crystal felt something was off.

Like many of us, she went to her doctor.

Her doctor ran lab tests on Friday and sent her home with diet recommendations.

Then it happened.

Over the weekend she noticed red spots on her legs.

She gave ChatGPT pictures of the spots on her legs.

And they discussed nutrition options.

But she felt something was still off.

ChatGPT recommended she get bloodwork done.

She remembered her doctor sent the bloodwork results, but didn't have a chance to review and provide comments.

So she gave her bloodwork to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT analyzed and identified her platelet count (which helps your blood clot from wounds) was dangerously low.

ChatGPT recommended she go to ER right away.

Still hesitant, she waited while ChatGPT asked if the red spots had started to spread.

They did.

ChatGPT urged her to go to the ER.

Emergency doctors ran new bloodwork only to discover that her platelets had dropped to ZERO.

If she had gotten cut, her body would not have been able to stop the bleeding.

So they put her on a treatment to restore her platelets.

The emergency doctors wanted to know...

How did she know to come in?

'ChatGPT told me to.' she said.

'Really?...that’s exactly what we want AI to do—help people catch things early.' they responded.

🎓 AI COURSES OF THE WEEK

I am offering my own course. Why?

Like many of you, AI was new to me and I didn’t know where to start.

Knowing where to start was overwhelming and frustrating.

Since March 2023 I’ve spent 1,000+ hours learning AI.

As a result, I have grown my AI newsletter to 5,000+ readers like you.

So, why should you learn from me?

Aside from literally having been in your shoes…

Last year I was 1 of 250 employees nominated to Ernst & Young’s (EY) US AI Adoption Network.

I led an Introduction to Generative AI training to 250+ EY employees and was asked to speak at industry conferences on the topic of Generative AI.

I served as liaison to EY’s Business Consulting, Technology Consulting, and Data & Analytics practices to craft go-to-market strategy and support development of AI service offerings to Fortune 500 companies.

My unique background spans multiple industries such as Banking, Insurance, Consumer Packaged Goods, Transportation, and Supply Chain…

From having been a Senior Manager in Big 4 Consulting, a Senior Consultant in Boutique Consulting, and a Finance Manager in Fortune 500.

Last but not least. I have a passion for coaching and mentoring others. I thrive on it and genuinely want to see people like you be successful using AI at work or for your business.
