Today’s episode is coming to you from our NYC Live Event, and will not be our usual type of episode! It’ll be more like a “town hall meeting” so grab onto your seats as we talk about generative AI and its role in the world of talent and acquisition. Our first amazing guest is Jenny Cotie Kangas, a friend of the show and force to be reckoned with. Our second guest is the innovative Chief Technology Officer at Hired, Dave Walters. In our discussion we cover how Jenny is conceptualizing AI and leveraging it best, why you don’t have to be afraid of generative AI, and she talks us through some examples of how to use ChatGPT. Dave recaps his opinion on the first half of the session with Jenny, and shares his thoughts on setting generative AI policies at work and why it’ll be important. We also dive into Local Law 144, as well as some other questions asked by our audience members. This is a great episode on all things generative AI, so don’t miss out!

Tweetables:
“I leverage AI to enable me, the human, to be able to go further and faster at work.” — @CotieJenny [0:06:33]
“One of the things to remember is, [with] any sort of generative AI, you have to ask the right sharp question to get the answer.” — @CotieJenny [0:15:13]
“Don’t upload all your business secrets into ChatGPT, that’s probably not a smart thing to do, and I would avoid doing that!” — Dave Walters [0:25:48]
“I would recommend to everybody — make sure you are getting policies in place — so that your teams know what to do and what not to do [with generative AI]. Don’t let that policy we don’t use it, that is a bad approach and you will fall behind.” — Dave Walters [0:26:13]
“These laws, at a very very high level, are meant to ensure that we’re using technology for good.” — @CotieJenny [0:37:22]
“[Generative AI] is not smart enough to figure out what is factual and what is not factual, today. It’s a big problem — one of the biggest challenges with generative AI, it’s going to have to be solved, [and] it’s not easy to solve.” — Dave Walters [0:39:37]
“Any time something is new it’s a lot easier to attack it than to try and understand how we can put effective guardrails in place so that we can use this for good.” — @CotieJenny [0:42:47]
