We are drowning in numbers, and we no longer understand what they mean.

In the rush to adopt artificial intelligence, many employers are now requiring that employees use AI tools. As you’re using AI, be intentional and selective. It’s critical that you know yourself.

Assess yourself, so you can factor this into your process for incorporating AI into your work.
