Are you becoming A.I. literate? Let’s share how we’re scaling our creativity with A.I.
I’m a Latino content creator delivering high-impact content from ghostwriting to podcast scripting. I’m committed to continuous learning and D.E.I. initiatives in workplaces. These driving factors bring me back to Black Tech Week in Cincinnati.
Of course, I’m learning the latest insights from Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) thought leaders like Ajay Bam, C.E.O. of the in-video insights platform Vyrill, and Nicole Alexander, Global Head of Marketing at Meta and Professor at N.Y.U.
We’re working in the era of GenAI. Business leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs must become A.I. literate. I’m increasing my A.I. literacy from BTW23. I’m also learning A.I. concepts that support D.E.I. initiatives.
Will AI level the business playing field?
If you’re a tech advocate like me, you’re using the GenAI platforms ChatGPT and its many competitors like Google Bard, Tome, Claude 2 from Anthropic, and Meta’s newly released LLaMA Chatbot. I’m using GenAI platforms to efficiently scale my creative services and provide additional value to clients. One central idea regarding GenAI has become clear to me. After just seven months following the ChatGPT prototype launch, we’re experiencing the impact of Moore’s law. New A.I. products and services are entering the market, and each new offering lands at a more affordable price.
“Generative A.I. levels the playing field,” says Alexander, encouraging startup founders in the BTW23 audience to take advantage of new accessibility and opportunities to collaborate with Meta. “You no longer need to be a multinational corporation with a multi-million-dollar budget to get an app aboard.”
One needs to be A.I. literate to take advantage of the increasing accessibilities and opportunities at Meta and other tech companies.
Alexander works on this as an N.Y.U. Stern School of Business professor.
“Individuals coming out of the university, whether grad students or executives, need to understand the impact of developing A.I. and procuring A.I…There needs to be transparency and a knowledge of how to use, capitalize, and benefit from A.I. in the business world.”
How do you share your A.I. Literacy?
I’m waiting in line to thank Alexander for her presentation alongside Ajay Bam of Vyrill and thinking about how creators communicate their A.I. literacy with buyers, collaborators, and colleagues.
Communicating A.I. literacy begins with a refresh of all proposal materials like S.O.W.s. You want to identify buyers where you’ll utilize A.I. to increase content accuracy and the speed of service delivery. I also emphasize that A.I. serves as a virtual contractor helping me reduce time on repetitive tasks involving early drafts of copy like eBook chapter headers and podcast episode titles. I also identify how content creation never wraps with the A.I. stage. It’s a first draft waiting for the human touch of an experienced creative professional.
Finally, a creator shares A.I.’s monetary value with buyers by showing the savings from using GenAI platforms. I have a section in proposals detailing Before-AI and After-AI pricing. Creators must pass A.I. savings to buyers.
Will AI support D.E.I. initiatives?
D.E.I. initiatives promise to have the best talent in the room, answering buyers’ questions and providing solutions to buyers’ pain points.
A.I. supports D.E.I. initiatives by training creative teams to understand the AI-created data and transitioning them to AI-enhanced work processes. A.I. helps you complete research on buyers and become informed about what they need from your products and services.
By helping you deliver the right products and services at the right time to the right buyers, A.I. provides data detailing how DEI-led teams are growth engines for buyers.

Training diverse teams in A.I. ensures that diverse business leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs will have a place at the table gathering AI-gathered data and developing future A.I. products. Imagine what’s possible when diverse creators lead in developing future A.I. products and services. The coded bias M.I.T. Media Lab computer scientist Joy Buolamwini uncovered in facial recognition software will become a one-time stumble. Let’s work to make A.I. a positive force for D.E.I.
