Description

Not by Chance, But by ChangeIn this week’s episode, McKay’s focus is on change and how there can be little change in the world until we have the courage to change ourselves. He begins by looking at the advancements of artificial intelligence including the story of the development of OpenAI, a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by tech entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Reid Hoffman. McKay notes that, despite the potential positive impact of AI, there are also concerns about its negative effects, and he encourages us all to learn more about this momentous change that is coming to all our lives.He also highlights the inspiring stories of Marva Collins and Tererai Trent, two women who overcame obstacles and changed their lives and those of others through education. Both women's stories demonstrate the transformative power of education and the importance of instilling people with belief in their own potential.  Our host concludes by reminding us all that our belief in ourselves will do more for us and those around us than we can possibly imagine, and to put our fears aside, choose change, and rise - to become who we can truly become.Episode Highlights:Artificial intelligence and its potential benefits to humanity The story of OpenAIChatGPT and concerns about its useMarva Collins, Tererai Trent and the positive change they have made in the world The power of belief, discipline, and hard workThe transformative nature of educationEmpowering people with the belief in their own potentialEnvisioning and reframing the future for yourself and your teamSharing evidence and stories of successQuotes:"OpenAI is located in San Francisco and runs the fifth largest supercomputer in the world.""AI systems work by ingesting large amounts of data, analyzing the data for patterns, then using those patterns to do the work.""The news has reported that students won't ever have to write their own research papers again. They'll just go to ChatGPT, ask a question, and the AI will write the lesson for them.""When you give them belief and they can see their own power to change, you will change your team.""Almost all beliefs are hand-me-downs.""If you have belief the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.""Both Marva Collins and Tererai Trent's stories illustrate the transformative nature of education and the importance of empowering people with the belief in their own potential.""Belief also comes from experience and evidence, as well as envisioning and reframing the future for oneself and one's team."“May God bless you this week as you and I both choose to change.”Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
