1
00:00:21,213 --> 00:00:22,637
Speaker 1: Hello, habit
Mechanics.

2
00:00:22,637 --> 00:00:23,760
It's Dr John Finn here.

3
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,588
I hope you're having I hope you
can hear those birds singing

4
00:00:29,609 --> 00:00:29,929
behind me.

5
00:00:29,929 --> 00:00:32,539
I hope you're having a great
week so far.

6
00:00:32,539 --> 00:00:36,929
So I'm walking to work, so I
thought I'd do a quick pod.

7
00:00:37,492 --> 00:00:45,073
Now what I want to talk about is
human AI teams, so that is,

8
00:00:45,134 --> 00:00:48,960
teams made up of humans and
machines.

9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:56,079
It's not humans being replaced
by machines, it's humans being

10
00:00:56,198 --> 00:00:57,801
supported by machines.

11
00:00:57,801 --> 00:01:04,039
Just in the same way that the
Industrial Revolution supported

12
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:10,899
manual labour, we now have
machines that can support

13
00:01:10,998 --> 00:01:12,141
cognitive labour.

14
00:01:12,141 --> 00:01:18,614
And this is what I see is
emerging People who are getting

15
00:01:18,895 --> 00:01:22,710
success from AI technologies,
and some are.

16
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:25,680
If you just look at some of the
testimonies we we're getting

17
00:01:25,699 --> 00:01:28,888
from the people we're working
with, they are getting seismic

18
00:01:28,929 --> 00:01:34,739
advantages or the other people
that are not either using AI

19
00:01:34,778 --> 00:01:37,764
technologies or or getting the
most out of them.

20
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:45,397
And what's actually happening
here is that the people and the

21
00:01:45,437 --> 00:01:49,042
businesses that are getting
success, they're not just buying

22
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:53,167
a tool or an AI bot or an AI
system.

23
00:01:53,167 --> 00:02:02,776
They are actually creating
human AI teams and again, it's

24
00:02:02,795 --> 00:02:06,776
for the individual as well, so
you can create your own human AI

25
00:02:06,776 --> 00:02:07,397
team.

26
00:02:07,397 --> 00:02:11,073
So I have my own human AI team.

27
00:02:11,073 --> 00:02:14,760
I use AI technologies daily and
they're like team members.

28
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:21,002
They can do the tasks that I
would otherwise pay humans to do

29
00:02:21,002 --> 00:02:25,169
, but they help me to do things
more efficiently and effectively

30
00:02:25,169 --> 00:02:31,081
in a way that helps me to grow
my business and help others to

31
00:02:31,121 --> 00:02:32,544
do well and create growth.

32
00:02:32,544 --> 00:02:42,658
So these machines they are not
a threat, they are not a

33
00:02:42,698 --> 00:02:43,399
competitor.

34
00:02:43,399 --> 00:02:48,326
They are a team member, and the
way that we harness the power

35
00:02:48,728 --> 00:02:52,330
of human AI teams is through
human AI performance psychology

36
00:02:52,914 --> 00:02:56,182
the new field of psychology
we've created and we are

37
00:02:56,243 --> 00:02:57,673
pioneering now.

38
00:02:59,521 --> 00:03:03,216
I've not heard anyone else talk
about it in these terms, but I

39
00:03:03,276 --> 00:03:10,717
think this is the way forwards
and the foundations of my

40
00:03:10,736 --> 00:03:14,462
professional career began in
elite sport and predominantly

41
00:03:14,503 --> 00:03:18,617
team sports, and I was very
fortunate to be able to work

42
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:25,057
with a professional football
team, and I was 24 years old, I

43
00:03:25,098 --> 00:03:26,882
was working on the first team
staff.

44
00:03:26,882 --> 00:03:33,225
I was in there making,
contributing to selection

45
00:03:33,266 --> 00:03:36,355
decisions and everything else
that goes on when you're part of

46
00:03:36,355 --> 00:03:41,456
that senior group, or the
leadership group, if you like.

47
00:03:41,456 --> 00:03:46,127
So I was in a position where,
beyond my years and I was really

48
00:03:46,127 --> 00:03:51,492
lucky and part of that, part of
the interesting thing with one

49
00:03:51,513 --> 00:03:55,634
of those teams, a football team
I worked for is we won the

50
00:03:55,674 --> 00:03:59,200
league title, won the league one
title, english professional

51
00:03:59,219 --> 00:04:05,194
football by spending, if my
memory's right, 54% less on

52
00:04:05,235 --> 00:04:14,105
player wages than the teams that
came second and third, you know

53
00:04:14,105 --> 00:04:14,445
, on average.

54
00:04:14,445 --> 00:04:26,522
So we were able to essentially
get much more out of our talent

55
00:04:26,543 --> 00:04:29,367
pool and that really and it was
actually a UK record for the

56
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:31,993
that season we broke the UK
record for the least amount of

57
00:04:32,014 --> 00:04:34,081
money spent for the most amount
of league points gained.

58
00:04:34,081 --> 00:04:42,603
That was one of their big four
do like a quite an in-depth

59
00:04:42,663 --> 00:04:48,817
analysis of of football in the
UK and that's what the numbers

60
00:04:48,918 --> 00:04:49,740
that emerged were.

61
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:55,112
So we were really doing
something special as a team and

62
00:04:55,153 --> 00:04:58,680
I just got fascinated by that
and I thought what is going on

63
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,864
here, how are we able to do this
?

64
00:05:00,864 --> 00:05:05,860
And that sparked my PhD work,
just looking at one aspect of

65
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:09,533
that, which was how we were a
developing talent.

66
00:05:09,533 --> 00:05:15,382
But it also led to the
development of our leadership

67
00:05:15,423 --> 00:05:18,235
models, a spark of the
development for that and our

68
00:05:18,275 --> 00:05:19,959
team models, our team power
model.

69
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:24,656
So I've been thinking about
teams for a long time in my

70
00:05:24,697 --> 00:05:28,519
professional life and you know,
going backwards from that, I've

71
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,069
been part of sports teams since
I can remember.

72
00:05:31,069 --> 00:05:35,805
You know whether it was playing
football in the park or, you

73
00:05:35,824 --> 00:05:43,367
know, playing rugby or cricket
or football or for different

74
00:05:43,387 --> 00:05:45,292
teams, and then you know through
to university, et cetera.

75
00:05:45,292 --> 00:05:51,583
So, and I played decent level
amateur sport and I play decent

76
00:05:51,663 --> 00:05:59,412
level amateur sport, so I really
have a deep knowledge of teams

77
00:05:59,872 --> 00:06:09,646
and what makes them work, and I
think that this is the right

78
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:11,733
approach to take.

79
00:06:11,752 --> 00:06:16,982
With AI, it's a human AI team
and the AI is a team member and

80
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:18,125
it can help you to do your job
more effectively.

81
00:06:18,125 --> 00:06:24,506
And again, we can do this at
the individual level, so you can

82
00:06:24,506 --> 00:06:25,268
have your own team.

83
00:06:25,268 --> 00:06:29,562
And if you go you know, if you
go backwards people have in

84
00:06:29,602 --> 00:06:34,072
history and even right now,
although AI is disrupting this a

85
00:06:34,072 --> 00:06:36,626
little bit people have been
hiring virtual assistants now

86
00:06:36,665 --> 00:06:38,651
for maybe 10 years.

87
00:06:38,651 --> 00:06:41,667
So it's the same kind of thing
that AI can do a lot of what

88
00:06:41,727 --> 00:06:44,725
virtual assistants used to do
and that frees up the virtual

89
00:06:44,745 --> 00:06:45,989
assistants to do something else.

90
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:51,201
But you can do it at the
individual level, so you can

91
00:06:51,221 --> 00:06:54,245
have your own human AI team and
you can get seismic results,

92
00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:55,670
like we're seeing.

93
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:59,550
But also at work, you can build
.

94
00:06:59,550 --> 00:07:03,422
The priority should be to build
human AI teams and if you look

95
00:07:03,442 --> 00:07:06,211
at the data on organisations.

96
00:07:06,211 --> 00:07:10,324
The last big set of data I saw
on this was by, I think, the

97
00:07:10,364 --> 00:07:15,905
Boston Research Group, and they
cited in their research that

98
00:07:17,266 --> 00:07:21,254
about 74% of businesses that are
spending significant money on

99
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:23,105
AI, they're not getting any real
returns.

100
00:07:23,105 --> 00:07:29,269
And again, if you dig down into
it, it's because humans and AI

101
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:31,655
are not collaborating well.

102
00:07:31,655 --> 00:07:37,477
It's because humans and I are
not collaborating well.

103
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:41,245
Now, that's always been a
problem in digital

104
00:07:41,266 --> 00:07:43,680
transformation, where someone
says you buy this digital system

105
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,983
and it's going to revolutionise
your business and invariably it

106
00:07:46,983 --> 00:07:48,369
doesn't work out quite like
that.

107
00:07:48,369 --> 00:07:51,504
Businesses, you know, sometimes
get there eventually.

108
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:52,685
It doesn't work out quite like
that.

109
00:07:52,685 --> 00:07:53,706
Businesses sometimes get there
eventually.

110
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,050
Just, the PC took a long time
to get to become effectively

111
00:07:56,131 --> 00:07:57,754
used in organisations, for
example.

112
00:07:57,754 --> 00:08:00,721
But I think AI is different.

113
00:08:00,721 --> 00:08:01,865
It isn't just.

114
00:08:01,865 --> 00:08:08,018
It isn't just a digital tool,
it's like a team member.

115
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:12,982
So I also think we need to move
away from talking about digital

116
00:08:13,002 --> 00:08:19,326
transformation and start talking
about team transformation and,

117
00:08:19,346 --> 00:08:24,477
of course, the currency of team
transformation is human high

118
00:08:24,516 --> 00:08:27,400
performance, psychology and the
thing that underpins that is

119
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:28,365
brain state management.

120
00:08:28,365 --> 00:08:36,241
So I think to unlock the
benefits or to scale the

121
00:08:36,281 --> 00:08:38,206
benefits of ai because many
people are unlocking the

122
00:08:38,245 --> 00:08:53,933
benefits and you're forming a
human AI team and it helps you

123
00:08:53,973 --> 00:08:54,795
to move faster.

124
00:08:54,795 --> 00:08:58,484
If we use our snowmobile
metaphor, it's like you're on

125
00:08:58,504 --> 00:09:02,173
the snowmobile, the tech is your
snowmobile the AI and it's

126
00:09:02,193 --> 00:09:04,789
helping you to move faster up
the mountain towards your goals.

127
00:09:04,789 --> 00:09:08,504
And I think that's going to be
a really helpful starting point

128
00:09:10,069 --> 00:09:14,765
to just start creating a better
narrative around ourselves and

129
00:09:14,785 --> 00:09:20,331
the journeys that we're going on
, but also about what the AI

130
00:09:20,371 --> 00:09:23,498
tools can actually bring to our
lives.

131
00:09:23,498 --> 00:09:28,423
That we're seeing in our own
lives, but also our customers

132
00:09:28,463 --> 00:09:28,664
lives.

133
00:09:29,466 --> 00:09:31,652
But the key is brain state
management.

134
00:09:31,652 --> 00:09:32,715
We can't get away from that.

135
00:09:32,715 --> 00:09:35,473
That is the thing that's going
to unlock all of this.

136
00:09:35,473 --> 00:09:40,360
So I hope that was interesting.

137
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,384
It got you thinking.

138
00:09:41,384 --> 00:09:45,373
My mind's racing with ideas
around this now.

139
00:09:45,373 --> 00:09:50,429
I think it's really exciting.

140
00:09:50,449 --> 00:09:56,331
So you know, maybe as a quick
exercise, just start thinking

141
00:09:56,351 --> 00:09:59,044
about your little team that
you've got just for yourself.

142
00:09:59,044 --> 00:10:02,034
You know, even if you've got
like a new iPhone, for example,

143
00:10:02,826 --> 00:10:04,644
that's just it's not a passive
device anymore.

144
00:10:04,644 --> 00:10:11,247
It's got generative ai built
into it, for example, and other

145
00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:13,473
uh ai features.

146
00:10:13,473 --> 00:10:17,604
So these things are becoming
like team members, these

147
00:10:17,704 --> 00:10:23,331
technologies, and just have a
list and maybe think about some

148
00:10:23,351 --> 00:10:26,335
of the other tasks that you do
every day you may not like doing

149
00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:26,335
.

150
00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:31,521
Is there a another ai you can
employ to help you to do that

151
00:10:31,601 --> 00:10:35,908
task more efficiently and
effectively, so that you don't

152
00:10:35,948 --> 00:10:37,431
have to do the work that you
don't want to do?

153
00:10:37,431 --> 00:10:43,149
You can focus on the work that
makes you happy, and if you're

154
00:10:43,169 --> 00:10:45,052
interested in the happiness
equation, you can check out

155
00:10:45,894 --> 00:10:50,226
chapter seven of train your
brain for the higher revolution.

156
00:10:50,226 --> 00:10:52,991
So enough from it, from me.

157
00:10:52,991 --> 00:10:58,105
Enjoy the rest of your day and
remember you're only ever one

158
00:10:58,786 --> 00:11:00,107
brain state habit away.
