It\\u2019ll be more like a \\u201ctown hall meeting\\u201d 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\\u2019t 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\\u2019ll be important.

\\u201cI leverage AI to enable me, the human, to be able to go further and faster at work.\\u201d \\u2014 @CotieJenny [0:06:33]

\\u201cOne of the things to remember is, [with] any sort of generative AI, you have to ask the right sharp question to get the answer.\\u201d \\u2014 @CotieJenny [0:15:13]

\\xa0

\\u201cDon\\u2019t upload all your business secrets into ChatGPT, that\\u2019s probably not a smart thing to do, and I would avoid doing that!\\u201d \\u2014 Dave Walters [0:25:48]

\\xa0

\\u201cI would recommend to everybody \\u2014 make sure you are getting policies in place \\u2014 so that your teams know what to do and what not to do [with generative AI]. Don\\u2019t let that policy we don\\u2019t use it, that is a bad approach and you will fall behind.\\u201d \\u2014 Dave Walters [0:26:13]

\\xa0

\\u201cThese laws, at a very very high level, are meant to ensure that we\\u2019re using technology for good.\\u201d \\u2014 @CotieJenny [0:37:22]

\\xa0

\\u201c[Generative AI] is not smart enough to figure out what is factual and what is not factual, today. It\\u2019s a big problem \\u2014 one of the biggest challenges with generative AI, it\\u2019s going to have to be solved, [and] it\\u2019s not easy to solve.\\u201d \\u2014 Dave Walters [0:39:37]

\\xa0

\\u201cAny time something is new it\\u2019s 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.\\u201d \\u2014 @CotieJenny [0:42:47]
