Every consultant and their grandma is an AI expert on LinkedIn. These pros put out more โ€œthink piecesโ€, white papers and expert takes than those from OAI, Anthropic, Google, AI research labs, deployment engineers or any of the other bleeding edge tech firms combined. A barely usable platform is filled to the brim with consultant AI slop.

๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜๐˜€ here and I couldn't agree more โ€” but let me push back slightly. ๐Ÿค”

As someone who has been at the intersection of AI, people, and transformation for going on 52+ years now, I think what we're really seeing is a DEMOCRATIZATION of thought leadership.

And frankly? That's not a bug. It's a feature.

Here are my 7 Pillars of Authentic AI Expertise (saved this one for my newsletter but you all get it free today ๐Ÿ‘‡):

โœ… Curiosity-first mindset
โœ… Stakeholder alignment
โœ… Prompt hygiene
โœ… Responsible disruption
โœ… Human-centered automation
โœ… Agile wisdom
โœ… Knowing when to unplug

The truth is โ€” and I say this having advised Fortune 500s, scrappy startups, and everyone in between โ€” AI isn't about the technology. It's about the HUMANS behind the technology. ๐Ÿซถ

I've seen $400M digital transformations fail because nobody stopped to ask: "But what does the CUSTOMER feel?"

So yes. Write the think piece. Publish the white paper. Share the hot take. The world needs more voices, not fewer.

Just lead with empathy. Lead with curiosity. And always, always cite your sources (unless it's your own lived experience โ€” that's proprietary ๐Ÿ˜‰).

Drop a ๐Ÿ”ฅ below if this resonated. And if you're ready to take your AI journey to the next level, my 6-week cohort "Prompts, People & Purpose" opens enrollment TOMORROW. Link in bio.
