Lesson 2: The four guiding principles for using AI | Ethan Mollick

Lego sets famously come with detailed instructions, including parts lists and visual, step-by-step directions. But generative AI isn’t far enough along for that type of support. (You're lucky if you get a few tooltips thrown in.) Working with such an open-ended technology is an exciting prospect, but it can also be difficult to feel confident as you do so. Luckily, Professor Ethan Mollick has done some of the legwork upfront. In this video lesson, he explains how to invite AI into your workflow – and discusses important guardrails to make sure a human (such as yourself) remains “in the loop.” Learning objectives: Experiment with AI to empower yourself. Apply human oversight in AI decision-making processes. © Freethink Media Inc., All Rights Reserved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Youtube Member Get exclusive classes and early, ad-free access to new releases without leaving Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Become a Big Think Web Member Get the entire Big Think Class library, premium print issues, live events, and more. https://bigthink.com/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Get all of your favorite Big Think content delivered to your inbox. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Ethan Mollick: Ethan Mollick is a professor of management at Wharton, specializing in entrepreneurship and innovation.
