Kelsey’s final chapter of Surfing the Tsunami, What to Do Next, lays out suggestions for taking the next steps towards artificial intelligence proficiency. For Kelsey the journey starts at adapting to AI with active habit building. This can be as simple as setting aside time dedicated to reading about (or watching or listening to) developments in artificial intelligence. Reaching the second step, adopt, is a very natural progression—setting aside the time to explore and investigate AI applications.
Taking the next step, becoming AI adept, in naturally more
involved. To start, Kelsey has a variety
of recommendations including books like Ford’s Rise
of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future and
Byrnjolfsson and McAfee’s The
Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant
Technologies. Kelsey also suggests
exploring the variety of tech “bootcamps” that have become available as well as
course offerings from online institutions like Khan Academy or Coursera. The caveat is experimenting with different
formats until finding what works for you.
Ultimately, there are many resources available for the
intrepid and curious. From simply following
the news and reading books or journals to more formal sources including individual
classes and learning paths or full courses of study, there are many available trails
to explore. Whether you are keen to adapt or adopt, or aspire to become adept,
like other technologies, AI is constantly evolving, and learning is an ongoing
process.
