A clear, practical guidebook to being a parent and professional in a world transformed by AI.

In Generation AI, lifelong entrepreneur, futurist, and consumer trend expert Matt Britton explores how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping society, from consumer behavior to education, work, relationships, and health. As the first generation born into an AI-enabled world, Generation Alpha will experience a paradigm shift in lifestyle and career paths. Britton examines the unprecedented opportunities AI presents: personalized learning, advancements in healthcare, and automated consumer experiences and processes. Britton also confronts ethical and societal challenges, from privacy issues and economic disparity to the potential impact on mental health and job displacement. Balancing optimism with caution, Britton offers a forward-looking guide for leaders, parents, and individuals on how to navigate a future where AI drives cultural and economic transformation.

To better understand generative AI—the technology that powers tools like ChatGPT—it's essential to understand the four layers that make up its foundation: infrastructure, large language models (LLMs), training data, and applications. Each of these layers has evolved into its booming micro-industry, with countless startups and established companies competing to innovate and capture market share. Think of these layers as building blocks, like a house needs a foundation, walls, utilities, and a roof to be complete. Generative AI needs all four layers working in harmony to deliver the magical experiences we've now come to expect.

An LLM is a programming model capable of interpreting and producing human-like outputs. Its incredible power comes from training on large datasets. In addition, deep learning abilities enable LLMs to predict words or sentiments that will likely appear next accurately. This attribute makes the use of a technology like ChatGPT feel magical. When an LLM is at its finest, it feels like speaking with a human. This is the ultimate AI unlock for the masses.

ChatGPT's most recent version is powered by an LLM called GPT-4, essentially its “brain,” or underlying language model. Think of GPT-4 as the engine under the hood. When OpenAI develops a more powerful engine (or language model), ChatGPT can be upgraded to make it more intelligent and capable. Although ChatGPT and its underlying GPT-4 model are groundbreaking, they are far from the only game in town. By 2024, several companies have developed powerful language models that match or exceed GPT's growing capabilities.

Generation AI explores timely topics including:
• Consumer Behavior: AI-driven, personalized shopping and the role of the creator economy in capturing mindshare
• Education: Exploring the future of education and the need for learnings to reinvent itself from a curriculum centered on memorization to one focused on problem solving and creativity
• Work & Career: A deep dive into the AI powered developments driving disruption in the workplace and uncovering the skill sets needed to thrive
• Mental Health & Relationships: Examines AI's potential to both connect and isolate, impacting human interaction.
• Ethics & Privacy: The need for AI guardrails to protect privacy and ensure fairness amid rapid technological advances.

Generation AI is a comprehensive and highly practical guide for all individuals looking to future proof themselves in this brave new world—especially Millennial parents, who are raising the first AI generation, grappling with the disruption of AI in their own lives, and seeking to understand the next stages of our technological evolution.
