However, these fears have been extended not only during mid-level management, but all the way to C-Suite. In fact, more than three-quarters of all US CEOs fear losing their jobs, according to a survey conducted in a Harris poll on behalf of Dataiku earlier this year.
The same applies to bosses just as the advice to young people trying to maintain their jobs was to embrace AI. For Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, this means introducing generation AI into “everyday workflows.” The billionaire technical leader recently revealed he is an active user of GPT-5 at Copilot, generating meeting overviews, project updates, productivity monitoring and more. And he shares the exact prompts he uses for productivity.
Nadella's secret encourages him to “charge” his workflow
In a LinkedIn post, Nadella said that the recent development of AI has added a “new intelligence layer” to all apps.
Here are five prompts he said, “You can charge your daily workflow.”
- “Based on my previous interactions [/person]Keep five things in mind for the next meeting. ”
- “Draft project updates based on email, chat and all meetings [/series]: KPI vs target, win/loss, risk, competitive moves, and even more difficult questions and answers. ”
- “Are we going well? [Product] Will it be launched in November? Check ENG progress, pilot program results, and risks. Give me the probability. ”
- “I've been checking my calendar and email since last month, creating 5-7 buckets for the projects I spent most of my time, creating a percentage of time and a short description.”
- “review [/select email] +Be prepared for the next meeting [/series]based on past managers and team discussions. ”
luck I contacted Nadella for comments.
How other top CEOs use AI
AI has become a part of the daily lives of many top business executives, especially in the world of technology. Jensen Huang of Nvidia said he is an active user of both confusion and ChatGpt, which he mainly uses as a learning and research tool.
“I'll use it [AI] Hyun said every day as a tutor at the Milken Institute's global conference earlier this year.
And while Openai CEO Sam Altman remains a person who sometimes leaned over pen and paper, he is an active user of his own generated chatbot ChatGpt to assist in tasks such as processing emails and document summary. It was also a game changer for him to learn how to become a father.
“Obviously, people have been able to care for babies without ChatGpt for a long time,” Altman told the Openai podcast. “I don't know how I did that.”
How to Become the Best AI Promptor
Thanks to the more advanced intelligence of LLMS, the exact language of prompts hasn't been that important in recent months, but there have been many best practices that can produce better results than others. According to Anthropic, the company behind Claude, it all starts with being an effective communicator through what is called the “Golden Rule of Clear Prompt.”
“I would prompt and ask my colleagues, ideally someone with minimal context about the task, to follow the instructions,” says Anthropic's website. “If they're confused, then Claude will be like that.”
However, just like in conversations with humans, interacting with AI requires adaptation. If you're not generating what you want for the first time, make sure you're clarifying what you're looking for or making it more specific. And if it just happens to cause an error, don't be afraid to point it out.
“One of the things people do is to put “stage-in-step” at the prompt. We don't confirm that the model is actually thinking step by step because it could take it in a more abstract or general sense,” said an expert at Zack Witten in a YouTube video posted earlier this year.
AI can also be the best resource in teaching you how to prompt.
“AI can literally teach you how to communicate better,” said Maggie Vaux, head of user education for humanity, previously. luck. “It's surprisingly effective and saves you from memorizing a quick template.”
