AI (Artificial Intelligence) was coined in 1955. Since then it has adapted and presented itself in society as navigational devices with calming voices, and the introduction of Alexa. We have been building relationships with our AI tools a lot in the past decade. So it isn't a reach to predict that AI will eventually become a Virtual Assistant.
A VA provides more than just playing your favourite rock song from Spotify. They complete tasks that require copy writing, time management and content creation. All tasks that have already been overtaken by AI tools like Chat GPT. So right now you might be thinking my prediction is holding water. It won't be long before AI re-invents itself as a individual who will study your business and generate ideas, predict trends, and eventually automate your growth.
With AI, my role as a Business Coach or Business Advisor is at risk of being taken over by an artificial version of me. All Business Consultants should be concerned. There is no way of knowing for sure, but every business owner and entrepreneur, from start-up to owner operator of 10 plus years in business, should be paying attention to the advancement of AI.
Stay in the know and test the products as they are introduced to market. It might take some adapting, but it could be well worth the time.
