Keynote Presentation: Utilizing Generative AI for Improving Soft Skills K-02
Sr Cloud Architect
AWS
Generative AI is transforming industries and driving innovation at a rapid pace. At a time when AI technologies are performing so many tasks efficiently, there are still a lot of things that require the human connection. Many roles like sales, marketing, human resources and even technology need humans with comprehensive verbal skills, leadership skills and emotional intelligence to build teams, connect personally and help pave the way for a better future. But, in an increasingly technology-driven world, it is no surprise that human relationships and soft skills have started to lag behind. Generative AI can be used as an effective tool to help improve and upskill these much needed soft skills by offering personalized and interactive learning experiences. For instance, AI-powered platforms can provide real-time feedback on communication skills, enabling users to refine their verbal and written expression. Additionally, AI can simulate emotional scenarios to help individuals practice empathy and emotional intelligence. This session is focused on ideas and strategy to use the powerful AI models to help improve the soft skills by designing tools to enhance teamwork and collaboration which can facilitate better decision-making and cooperation among team members.
