An important topic! Regarding the Symmetric AI Access and Application, to take advantage of it, I think we should adopt an AI culture, as mentioned by @Richie.
Having a special expert for AI in every organization is not enough. We have to be all AI-positive as team members in our own workplace. We cannot leave it to one person. We cannot throw money at the problem.
And adopting an AI culture as a collective is much harder. As I see it, in academia, where I came from, we cannot tell students, “Here is the most powerful tool we ever had—don’t use it.”
As for research, one practical recommendation I have is to use tools like Research Kick to find research gaps. You may not know that numerous researchers, including one from NASA, have discovered that AI can conceive of research ideas that took them years to develop on their own in just minutes. We have to not let our egos prevent us from being effective.
But it happens outside of academia, too (not where I am positioned, luckily). Using AI is seen as cheating. However, it is not cheating if you use it to deliver better results and utilize your own intelligence to accomplish tasks that AI cannot yet do during the rest of your time.
We should be lifelong learners, especially when it comes to new AI tools. I personally learn about new AI platforms every day from YouTube on the go. The AI gap is only widening between the profit and nonprofit sectors, as Kyle Behrend says. Speaking of symmetries and asymmetries, we aim to prevent an asymmetric disadvantage as nonprofits adopt AI.
