Welcome to episode 166 of the Technical Writing Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This podcast is targeted at IT professionals, technical writers, and information architects. Subscribe today to never miss a single daily episode! In today’s episode, charismatic hosts Daphne and Fred unpack a new article from show producer Robbins that explains why he is shifting some of his focus from information architecture and technical writing to artificial intelligence (AI). His December 10 article "Why I'm Increasing My Focus on AI" is published on LinkedIn. Robbins explains his pivot from technical writing to AI and workflow efficiency, driven by his conviction that AI will significantly impact the job market and enterprise productivity, rivaling the dot-com boom. He addresses the exaggerated claims and conflicting predictions about AI, positioning himself as a non-alarmist objective observer who believes in AI's transformative power, noting that an AI-savvy worker, not AI itself, will replace those without the skills. The article emphasizes the necessity for professionals to quickly gain AI expertise to ensure career success and avoid layoffs, as companies are already eliminating non-AI-trained positions to boost profit margins. Furthermore, Robbins promotes his rebranded content and resources , such as his "AI for Career Success" podcast and LinkedIn group, which are aimed at helping professionals adapt to the rapidly evolving technology landscape. _________________________ I'm currently taking on new clients.
