Ever wonder what it's really like working in AI in Big Tech in Silicon Valley, the mecca of the tech and AI world? Let me tell you about a typical day for me. A typical day for me working in AI in Big Tech is a mix of strategy, creativity, problem-solving, and a lot of translation from processes into AI workflows, agents and automations. I might start the morning reviewing how teams are using AI, where they’re getting stuck, and which use cases are actually creating value. Then I may jump into a meeting to help shape AI training, brainstorm an adoption program, or design a role-based clinic that helps people understand how AI fits into their actual work. Some days I’m helping teams think through AI agents. Other days I’m building challenges, drafting enablement content, or showing professionals how to move from “I’m curious about AI” to “I can actually use this to work smarter.” Currently, I'm part of the new AI coilition where I am the sole AI builder for the company...preparing for the AI week of activities and company wide AI training starting in July in conjunction with the Learning & Development team. That's a little over 8k employees worldwide...ooh wee. What I enjoy most is that this work is not just about the technology. It is about people. It is about helping someone feel less intimidated by AI. It is about showing teams how to think differently. It is about turning abstract concepts into practical skills they can use right away. My audit and risk background still shows up in everything I do. I think about structure, controls, evidence, accountability, and responsible use. But now I get to combine that with innovation, storytelling, training, and human-centered design. That is what makes this work so exciting for me. Every day, I get to help people build confidence with AI through my AI Role Clinics I started back in May where I instruct professionals from over 20 countries across the globe how to not only incorporate AI into their daily workflows but also to discover new ways of working, preparing them for a future that is already here.

Hey Creators, What's new in your AI world? I have been overly consumed with the Corporate job. My boss is slowly trying to convert us into AI software engineers! Not everyone has the capacity or capability! But to make this AI mandate fun I have created some AI Challenges and games. Good thing I'm the creative type! So, my first game for Q2 is Who Wants to be a Bot Master! I turned the poster I created into a video using Kling. Came out nice. Check it out. https://pro.klingai.com/h5-app/invitation?code=7BWRZXJBCKZV

Hey Creators, I took a much-needed day off from work and finally had a chance to catch up on some of my AI tools. Apparently rest really does unlock creativity because I stumbled onto a pleasant surprise today. 😄 Not only has Revid added new features to their AI video generation platform, but one of the updates now includes lip-syncing portions of music videos. ABOUT. TIME. If you create AI music videos, then you already know this used to require bouncing between multiple apps and workflows just to get decent results. Total time vortex. This isn’t 100% perfect yet, but it’s absolutely heading in the right direction and honestly... I’m impressed. The best part? I tested it on a duet and it correctly handled both the male and female vocal parts. That alone sold me. Definitely a keeper for now. Of course, now I’m staring at my older videos thinking, “Do I spend credits redoing everything?” 😂 Creator problems. Every month I audit my AI subscriptions and decide which tools are actually worth keeping, especially the pricier ones. Revid just fought its way back onto the survival list. Check out the video here. It’s based on one of the songs from my Hidden Crowns novel, Oasis of the Heart... Prince Rami and Brielle’s story. 🎵 Song: Still Yours Check out revid: https://www.revid.ai?aff=OG7WbE
