🚀 AI is indeed a double-edged sword, which in the war of work we all need to wield 🤖 As the driving force behind this initiative, RiseUP’s IT Team recognized the crucial intersection of technology and career growth in today's rapidly changing job market. We were fortunate to have an exceptional lineup of speakers from the IT Team, starting with Nilaykumar Shah, who highlighted the significance of prompt engineering; Sachin Kanojiya examined AI's role in research; Jay Patel covered AI's effects on communication; Bhargav Suthar offered a special live demonstration for IT industry attendees; and Jay Dayani concluded by discussing the future of workplaces with increasingly advancing AI tools. ------------------------------------------------------------ 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 🙌🏼 𝟏.

𝐵𝑒𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠: AI can assist you but cannot make decisions for you; over-reliance on AI may hinder personal growth; and as everyone starts using AI, its generic responses won't help you stand out. Along with this, an activity was conducted among all attendees to learn the correct use of AI. The activity was also marked with a small but powerful message from Krunal Sheth: The world of work will change, and the time to anticipate what our future workplaces will look like is now. It will be too late by the time it has already changed. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🫵🏼RiseUp urges each and every one of us to actively lean into learning how to use AI rather than to wait and watch as AI revolutionizes the workplaces around us.
