H.O.P.E AI Tour ( Habits, Opportunity, Purpose & Efficiency) is a mashup of Timeless Truths & Tech Hacks for Anyone Seeking relevance in an AI world.
“In times of great change, it’s hard to see clearly,” says Cheryl K. Goodman, Author, Technology Executive and CEO of FindGood.tech. “The H.O.P.E. AI Tour helps leaders and learners discerne the facts, rightsize fear, and have faith in their innate creativity, this paired with the right AI tools, used responsibly, artificial intelligence can not only be life-affirming but offer economic options."
The global population is deeply ambivalent on AI, while AI experts are far more positive about AI’s potential, the general public has less access to seeing real value in the AI ecosystems and are often misled on exponential technology. AI-FOMO (fear of missing out) is real for the un-networked and this will increase as digital trust erodes. Fear can only be countered by vetted knowledge and altruistic hope - plans for and hope for - a viable future. The H.O.P.E. AI Tour aims to offer a productive, real sourced information to those feeling polarized by the depth and speed of artificial intelligence.
