The AI train has left the station and is already transforming coaching and therapy. As of this writing, Stanford is in phase 1 trials of an autonomous AI Therapist and one of the presenters has an AI ADHD Coaching Clone bot of himself that is currently coaching real clients with remarkable effectiveness. Soon, emotional AI that is being used right now in the customer service field will further expand the ability of AI to emulate human level interactions.
But what do these advancements mean for coaches and therapists? Will we be replaced by AI? The answer is a qualified "no," but our industries will change, and we must be ready.
In this lively and interactive presentation, the presenters will quickly and in plain language explain the basics of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT and explain where we are currently with this technology as well as where we are headed. They will then go on to explain the process of training an AI Clone, the challenges of getting it to “act like we do,” and what every coach and therapist must be doing right now to prepare: articulating clearly and specifically what we know, what we do, and how we do it.
Participants will be challenged to start right there and then in a "pair and share" to begin to articulate in a guided way "how they do what they do." The presenters will then do a live 20-minute demonstration of Roger’s coaching clone in real time with an audience member, followed by a Q&A. This presentation will be lively, filled with actionable information, and promises to move the discussion forward to future-proof our professions.
Please Note: The technology is advancing at a rapid pace and the presenters will add up-to-the-minute advancements in this presentation to ensure the most current information possible.
