Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more integrated into everyday work, and the ag industry is no exception. While it may have yet to change anything in your day-to-day work, there are certainly signs that it will be essential for a lot of jobs and businesses in the future. Devon Wright of Lumo dives into his own realization on the importance of knowing how to use AI as a tool.
Wright… “ I don't think any of us are going to be able to work again in two years to five years if we don't understand how to use this thing. It's that strong. Like take me as a founder. Let's say I want to do one more startup and it's five years from now and I, and I go to raise some money and I have no idea how to use AI. I'm gonna say to a investor, give me $5 million and I'll use a million for this and a million for sales, and a million to build my website, and blah, blah, blah. And there will be, at that time, a 20-something-year-old founder who's AI native, who will be like, give me a hundred thousand dollars and I'll do exactly what he just said. He'll do give me $5 million and I will do 50x more because I know how to use AI to drive SDR funnels. I know how to use AI to do almost all my basic coding. Like it's not gonna eliminate everyone. There's no doubt about it. Basically, if you know how to use AI, you're gonna always have a job in an AI future. You'll be the one who can get that leverage. But I won't, and I'll never raise another dollar again in five years time if I don't know how to build companies with AI.”
And that’s not just true for startup founders, the AI future is likely to impact us all.
