I've always been jealous of Winston Churchill.

There's a quote by the way, the history of innovation is the bed, the bus and the bathtub.

It's always these moments when we're not really thinking about work

or kind of doing something else that good ideas come to us.

Winston Churchill, he's sitting in the bathtub and he's dictating a national address to his assistant who's in the other room.

She's saying, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, don't call them distinguished.

They're not just this is the Gary Oldman version.

Why not distinguish?

Dear ladies and gentlemen, we have gathered together.

Get to the point!

You know, and I'm watching this going, I would give anything to have an assistant who understood my context

and my voice and my intent well enough that I could sit in the bath and they could write my speech.

Now, the poorest villager in Palo Alto can have what only Winston Churchill used to have,

which is an assistant that has my context and my voice

and my intent available to me so that when I'm in the bathtub, I'm I can be dictating my address.

That is absolutely technically possible today.

I'm Jeremy Utley.

I am an adjunct professor of creativity and AI at Stanford University.

I've been teaching at Stanford for the last 15 years at the intersection of creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and now increasingly artificial intelligence.

The topic

that I'm most focused on right now is helping non -technical professionals learn to be good collaborators to or with generative AI.

And then two years ago, myself and my partner at the time,

Perry Claibon, wrote a book called "Ideaflow," which was the canonical book on idea generation. and prototyping.

So super proud of that.

It was the culmination of a dozen years of leading executive programs and the leadership program and the entrepreneurship program at Stanford,

And one month after our book came out, Chad G .P .T came out.

To me, the fact

that I wrote the canonical book on idea generation just prior

to AI is like writing the best book on retail just before the internet.

AI is a tool to dramatically augment and amplify our creativity and the truth is, Didn't know a lot about it when the book came out

so one month after my book came out instead of going

on a world book tour I I strapped myself back into the front row as a student and said, I need to be learning about this transformative new technology.

So I started taking classes.

I started conducting research.

I started working with and studying teams inside of organizations using the tool to understand the simple question.

How does generative AI impact the individual and the team and the organization's ability to solve problems? you

you can give an ai a prompt for example how should i answer this question

or you could give an ai the question i want to

ask how i should answer this question what's the best way of framing

that question to an ai

so you see what i did there i asked ai for how to ask ai my question

but you can use ai to use ai which is you couldn't use excel to use excel

PowerPoint can't teach you how to use PowerPoint.

Email can't teach you how to use email.

AI, strangely, can teach you how to use itself if you think to ask.

go to your language model of choice and just say the following: "Hey, you're an AI expert.

I would love your help

and a consultation with you to help me figure out where I can best leverage AI in my life.

As an AI expert, would you please ask me questions, one question at a time, until you have enough context about my workflows and responsibilities

and KPIs and objectives that you could make two obvious recommendations

and two non -obvious recommendations for how I could leverage AI in my work.

you will have one of the most enlightening and illuminating conversations you've ever had.

And it's all because of AI's ability to evaluate its own work.

What I've seen is non -technical employees are able to do incredible things.

Here's one example.

The National Park Service called me and asked me if I would conduct a training program for a bunch of backcountry rangers.

So they gathered a group of about 60 backcountry rangers and facilities managers into a training session.

And I spent a couple of hours over Zoom teaching folks the basics of collaborating with AI.

One of the people in that session was a gentleman named Adam Reimer who works at Glen Canyon National Park.

And one of the things I say is you should focus on parts of your work that you dread, parts enjoy that you think,

"Ugh, I have to do this again." And Adam said, "If I have to replace the carpet tiles in the lodge, I have to fill out all of this paperwork." And

so to replace a carpet tile will sometimes take two or three days of paperwork.

Then he thought, could AI help me write that paperwork?

And in 45 minutes, He built a tool with natural language

that saves him two days of work every day he makes a statement of work.

And then listen to this.

someone got access to that tool, and shared it across the other parks.

There's about 430 parks in the service.

The National Park Service is estimating that the tool

that Adam built in 45 minutes is going to save the service 7000 days of human labor this year.

That's the kind of impact that normal professionals can have even without any technical ability.

If only they're given very basic foundational training.

- People are wanting to learn AI and how it can be transformative for their business, but they don't have the basic language.

And so while lots of organizations are asking me, how can we work with AI to transform our business?

Where I have to start with them is, how do you work with AI?

The research I'm familiar with suggests that

while on the one hand AI makes people 25 % faster and 12 % more work and 40 % better quality,

it's also true that less than 10 % of working professionals are deriving meaningful productivity gains from collaboration with AI.

To me there's this enormous gap, I call it the realization gap.

We conducted studies both in Europe and in the United States.

And what we found is, surprisingly, AI didn't help most people be more creative.

In fact, in many cases, the people that we studied, AI, made them less creative.

And as we started digging into the research, we were surprised.

and looked at the data, we were confused because you think AI should make people more creative, not less.

And we studied the underperformers and then we studied the outperformers.

And what we found is the outperformers had a fundamentally different orientation towards AI.

than the underperformers did.

Whereas the underperformers treated AI like a tool, The outperformers treated AI like a teammate.

And shifting your orientation from tool to teammate changes everything about the kinds of outcomes

that you can achieve working with Generative AI.

A simple example is what do you do when it gives you mediocre results?

If it's a tool, you get a mediocre result.

and then maybe you improve it or maybe you say, "It's no good at doing that." If it's a teammate who's given you a mediocre result,

think about the last teammate who gave you work product that wasn't sufficient.

You gave them feedback.

You gave them coaching.

You gave them mentorship.

you help them improve it and

so what we found is the people who treat ai like a teammate coach it

100

and give it feedback and importantly get it to ask them questions

101

The fundamental orientation a lot of people take towards AI is, I'm the question asker, AI is the answer giver.

102

But if you think about AI like a teammate, you say, hey, "What are 10 questions I should ask about this?"

103

or "What do you need to know from me in order to get the best response?" So things for example like, You have a difficult conversation coming up with a coworker.

104

Did you know you could leverage a large language model to role play that conversation?

105

You can get an AI to interview you about your conversation partner and then construct a psychological profile of your conversation partner,

106

and then play the role of your conversation partner in a role play, and then give you feedback from the perspective of your conversation partner on how you approach the conversation.

107

That's something you can do today.

108

And there are many things like that.

109

I call them drills, but there are many things like that where If someone will just shift, their consideration set of what are the things I can do with AI,

110

they end up discovering applications that I've never even dreamed of.

111

I've been doing this stuff for two years.

112

And my students are regularly coming to me with use cases I've never imagined

113

that landed them in a destination I could have never predicted and they could never have predicted.

114

For me, I never thought about myself as a creative individual.

115

Now I fully and fundamentally believe every single human being has an innate creative capacity.

116

Every single one of us.

117

What the d school has helped me do is unlock others.

118

Everyone has this latent creative capacity.

119

Once I was teaching a class with a hip hop artist named Lecrae.

120

He's a multi -time Grammy award winning artist and he

121

and I are teaching a class to graduate students at Stanford and we're giving them the assignment.

122

You've got to go get inspiration in the world.

123

And what I can see is it's like looking at myself in the mirror 10 years ago, because all of the business school students in the class are going, Inspiration?

124

And I just felt Lecrae is clearly the creative legend in the room.

125

I said, "Lecrae, What do you think about inspiration?

126

And of course, as only a hip hop artist could do, he dropped a bar.

127

He said, "Inspiration's a discipline." And I realized in that moment, for these students, it's not even on their radar as a tool,

128

let alone a routine part of their life.

129

But the most wildly creative individuals I know, are disciplined about cultivating the inputs to their thinking because they know it affects the outputs of their thinking.

130

And so even in regards to AI, I push people.

131

What is the inspiration you're bringing to the model?

132

Everybody has the same access to the same chat GPT.

133

How do I get a different output than you do?

134

It's because of what I bring to the model.

135

And what do I bring to the model?

136

Certainly I bring technique, but I also bring my experience.

137

I bring my perspective.

138

I bring all the inspiration I've gleaned from the world.

139

That's what gets a user a differential output from a model.

140

Bye.

141

A seventh grader in Ohio who I don't even know what her name is, but her teacher asked, "What is creativity?" She put a post -it note up on the board that says,

142

"Creativity is doing more than the first thing you think of."

143

And that's my favorite definition because it speaks to a profound cognitive bias that we hold.

144

It's been called functional fixedness.

145

It's been called the Einstein -Stelling effect.

146

But the basic premise is, humans tend to fixate on an early solution and be satisfied.

147

Herbert Simon called it "satisficing." but it's the idea that if we get to good enough, it's enough.

148

And that's why I love that seventh graders definition.

149

Creativity is doing more than the first thing you think of.

150

It's pushing past good enough.

151

Is the definition of creativity changing in the age of AI I don't think so.

152

The reality is with AI, it's now easier than ever to get good enough.

153

If your goal is world -class, if your goal is exceptional, then what you want to be prompting for is actually volume and variation. And that takes time.

154

It takes time to not only read through it, but to sort it and to process it.

155

But fundamentally, the definition of creativity doesn't change in the age of AI.

156

It's just that the human's ability or inability to arrive at a creative state is affected not only by the technology,

157

but by the ability to arrive at a creative state but also by their stated or unstated objectives in collaborating with it.

158

Creators don't need to be afraid of AI.

159

Creators need to dive in, they need to lean in.

160

Creators are about to be unleashed in a way they've never been unleashed before.

161

The only correct answer to the question, how do you use AI? is I don't.

162

I don't use AI.

163

I work with it.

164

When you start working with AI, it will change everything.
