Ethical AI Integration: A Turbo Thinker's© Approach to Professional Growth
AI and Neurodiversity
Is it an accommodation or is it cheating? How can it be safe if it's so fun? Will it save me time or waste it? How can I use it to make my life easier without feeling guilty? What strengths does the Turbo Thinker© brain bring to AI? How can AI tools effectively tackle executive function challenges? These questions serve as our guiding compass as we navigate the evolving landscape of AI accommodations for high-achieving professionals.
Our Turbo Thinker© brain is wired to be curious, eager to learn and play, and capable of making connections in unique ways. Our strength lies in our ability to question the world around us, challenging ideas and processes. AI serves as a tool that we can manipulate to work for us, acting as a collaborative partner in our journey.
One common challenge for our brain type is the emotional hurdle that often blocks us from starting or completing tasks. AI can help us overcome these hurdles by serving as a tool to collaborate, delegate, automate, or eliminate duties, allowing us to focus on what we do best.
Moreover, engaging with AI can make us feel "time rich," providing us with the time and energy to focus on what truly matters to us. As we interact with AI, we also have an opportunity to positively contribute to the collective consciousness.
However, it's essential to recognize that while AI offers incredible benefits, it does not fully replace our innate Turbo Thinker© strengths. Human connection, heightened empathy, intuition, and presence are aspects of the human experience that AI cannot replicate.
Rather than use it in secret, how might we openly share best practices for integrating AI into our work for increased productivity and efficiency? Simultaneously, how might we question the ethical considerations of AI usage, exploring how to model responsible and effective AI use for our clients and colleagues? How can we develop the confidence and expertise to lead meaningful conversations about AI accommodations in a professional setting?
How can we give ourselves permission to play with cutting-edge AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, AI virtual meeting bots, and innovative apps designed to support individuals with executive function challenges? By embracing the power of AI, how might we empower ourselves and our teams to embrace the digital revolution and harness its potential to transform the lives of Turbo Thinkers© and those with executive dysfunction?
We have the opportunity to become agents of change in the evolving landscape of accommodations for neurodiversity. Our brains are naturally wired for innovation and revolution. We now have the opportunity for leadership to advance humanity in both efficiency and ethics.
