Program Overview: The Language of Wisdom Makers
This session is based on Mark Salisbury’s new book “Wisdom Makers: Creating Expertise with Artificial Intelligence." Modern workers, called wisdom makers in the book, use artificial intelligence to develop intelligent digital advisors to communicate their expertise to other humans. Sharing knowledge through digital advisors is a new form of communication and can be thought of as a new language. These digital advisors can be bundled with a product or service and advise what it does, why to use it, how to use it, and when and where to use it – just like the humans that created the product or service. Wisdom makers can also use their digital advisors to augment, or replace, old methods for sharing knowledge within organizations such as education, training, and informal learning.
By the end of this session, you will know how wisdom makers use this new language to share their expertise and why you will want to do it, too.
