AI as Equalizer
Work TransformationProvisional
Using AI to bridge knowledge or power gaps between individuals and institutions or expert domains, enabling participation in contexts where the person would otherwise be at a disadvantage
Evidence
“I would copy that and paste it into chat GPT and say, "What does this mean in English?" basically and it would kind of dumb it down for me so I could understand better.”
“It helps bridge the gap between organizations and people... it helps me not feel like I get railroaded by insurance claims and stuff as easily.”
“I'm not a native English speaker. When I write, I make grammatical mistakes and I don't find the right words always, and I'm worried that either my point doesn't come across, which is a problem, or especially when you type, that I might just not look as smart as I think I am. Again, my vocabulary is not as rich as I would like it to be. So that helped me with communications.”
“My biggest win I'd say being able to do the business plans, pitch decks, financials. There's also like formulas that were given that, I'm not a math guy, so having those to be able to put in Excel or what have you is really helpful. Anything math-heavy would be, you know, anything that would help with quant or whatever, big help for me.”
“And then I started using ChatGPT and from there I moved into Claude. And because of this then I was like, okay, how can I do this on my professional side? Because one of the great things that I did, since last time we connected, I took a certification in neuro-linguistic programming. So I was doing mentoring and coaching and I was running the DEI council and the mentorship program for [former company] for our business unit. So I was like, okay, how am I going to put together the content since English is not my first language? So let's use ChatGPT to polish it off, how to get a tone for the executive level. So that, it was funny because I learned a lot from ChatGPT, like how should I talk to, how should I write something. So I didn't use it in a sense of, okay, do for me and that's it. But I did in a sense of, okay, do once, do twice, and then after that I always start writing my own things and ask ChatGPT to polish it off, or Claude, and the changes were minimal.”
