1
00:00:01,284 --> 00:00:02,708
Speaker 1: Hello, habit
Mechanics.

2
00:00:02,708 --> 00:00:03,830
It's Dr John Finn here.

3
00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:09,659
I hope you're having I hope you
can hear those birds singing

4
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:10,000
behind me.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,608
I hope you're having a great
week so far.

6
00:00:12,608 --> 00:00:17,000
So I'm walking to work, so I
thought I'd do a quick pod.

7
00:00:17,562 --> 00:00:25,143
Now what I want to talk about is
human AI teams, so that is,

8
00:00:25,204 --> 00:00:29,030
teams made up of humans and
machines.

9
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:36,149
It's not humans being replaced
by machines, it's humans being

10
00:00:36,268 --> 00:00:37,871
supported by machines.

11
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:44,109
Just in the same way that the
Industrial Revolution supported

12
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:50,969
manual labour, we now have
machines that can support

13
00:00:51,069 --> 00:00:52,212
cognitive labour.

14
00:00:52,212 --> 00:00:58,683
And this is what I see is
emerging People who are getting

15
00:00:58,965 --> 00:01:02,780
success from AI technologies,
and some are.

16
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:05,750
If you just look at some of the
testimonies we we're getting

17
00:01:05,769 --> 00:01:08,957
from the people we're working
with, they are getting seismic

18
00:01:08,998 --> 00:01:14,808
advantages or the other people
that are not either using AI

19
00:01:14,849 --> 00:01:17,834
technologies or or getting the
most out of them.

20
00:01:17,834 --> 00:01:25,468
And what's actually happening
here is that the people and the

21
00:01:25,507 --> 00:01:29,111
businesses that are getting
success, they're not just buying

22
00:01:29,111 --> 00:01:33,236
a tool or an AI bot or an AI
system.

23
00:01:33,236 --> 00:01:42,846
They are actually creating
human AI teams and again, it's

24
00:01:42,865 --> 00:01:46,846
for the individual as well, so
you can create your own human AI

25
00:01:46,846 --> 00:01:47,468
team.

26
00:01:47,468 --> 00:01:51,143
So I have my own human AI team.

27
00:01:51,143 --> 00:01:54,831
I use AI technologies daily and
they're like team members.

28
00:01:54,831 --> 00:02:01,072
They can do the tasks that I
would otherwise pay humans to do

29
00:02:01,072 --> 00:02:05,239
, but they help me to do things
more efficiently and effectively

30
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:11,151
in a way that helps me to grow
my business and help others to

31
00:02:11,191 --> 00:02:12,614
do well and create growth.

32
00:02:12,614 --> 00:02:22,728
So these machines they are not
a threat, they are not a

33
00:02:22,768 --> 00:02:23,468
competitor.

34
00:02:23,468 --> 00:02:28,396
They are a team member, and the
way that we harness the power

35
00:02:28,798 --> 00:02:32,400
of human AI teams is through
human AI performance psychology

36
00:02:32,984 --> 00:02:36,252
the new field of psychology
we've created and we are

37
00:02:36,313 --> 00:02:37,742
pioneering now.

38
00:02:39,591 --> 00:02:43,286
I've not heard anyone else talk
about it in these terms, but I

39
00:02:43,346 --> 00:02:50,787
think this is the way forwards
and the foundations of my

40
00:02:50,806 --> 00:02:54,532
professional career began in
elite sport and predominantly

41
00:02:54,573 --> 00:02:58,687
team sports, and I was very
fortunate to be able to work

42
00:02:59,969 --> 00:03:05,127
with a professional football
team, and I was 24 years old, I

43
00:03:05,168 --> 00:03:06,951
was working on the first team
staff.

44
00:03:06,951 --> 00:03:13,295
I was in there making,
contributing to selection

45
00:03:13,336 --> 00:03:16,425
decisions and everything else
that goes on when you're part of

46
00:03:16,425 --> 00:03:21,526
that senior group, or the
leadership group, if you like.

47
00:03:21,526 --> 00:03:26,197
So I was in a position where,
beyond my years and I was really

48
00:03:26,197 --> 00:03:31,562
lucky and part of that, part of
the interesting thing with one

49
00:03:31,582 --> 00:03:35,704
of those teams, a football team
I worked for is we won the

50
00:03:35,743 --> 00:03:39,270
league title, won the league one
title, english professional

51
00:03:39,289 --> 00:03:45,264
football by spending, if my
memory's right, 54% less on

52
00:03:45,305 --> 00:03:54,175
player wages than the teams that
came second and third, you know

53
00:03:54,175 --> 00:03:54,515
, on average.

54
00:03:54,515 --> 00:04:06,592
So we were able to essentially
get much more out of our talent

55
00:04:06,612 --> 00:04:09,437
pool and that really and it was
actually a UK record for the

56
00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:12,063
that season we broke the UK
record for the least amount of

57
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:14,151
money spent for the most amount
of league points gained.

58
00:04:14,151 --> 00:04:22,673
That was one of their big four
do like a quite an in-depth

59
00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:28,887
analysis of of football in the
UK and that's what the numbers

60
00:04:28,987 --> 00:04:29,810
that emerged were.

61
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:35,182
So we were really doing
something special as a team and

62
00:04:35,223 --> 00:04:38,750
I just got fascinated by that
and I thought what is going on

63
00:04:38,829 --> 00:04:40,934
here, how are we able to do this
?

64
00:04:40,934 --> 00:04:45,930
And that sparked my PhD work,
just looking at one aspect of

65
00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:49,603
that, which was how we were a
developing talent.

66
00:04:49,603 --> 00:04:55,452
But it also led to the
development of our leadership

67
00:04:55,492 --> 00:04:58,305
models, a spark of the
development for that and our

68
00:04:58,345 --> 00:05:00,029
team models, our team power
model.

69
00:05:00,029 --> 00:05:04,725
So I've been thinking about
teams for a long time in my

70
00:05:04,766 --> 00:05:08,589
professional life and you know,
going backwards from that, I've

71
00:05:08,630 --> 00:05:11,139
been part of sports teams since
I can remember.

72
00:05:11,139 --> 00:05:15,875
You know whether it was playing
football in the park or, you

73
00:05:15,894 --> 00:05:23,437
know, playing rugby or cricket
or football or for different

74
00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:25,362
teams, and then you know through
to university, et cetera.

75
00:05:25,362 --> 00:05:31,653
So, and I played decent level
amateur sport and I play decent

76
00:05:31,733 --> 00:05:39,482
level amateur sport, so I really
have a deep knowledge of teams

77
00:05:39,942 --> 00:05:49,716
and what makes them work, and I
think that this is the right

78
00:05:50,379 --> 00:05:51,802
approach to take.

79
00:05:51,822 --> 00:05:57,052
With AI, it's a human AI team
and the AI is a team member and

80
00:05:57,072 --> 00:05:58,194
it can help you to do your job
more effectively.

81
00:05:58,194 --> 00:06:04,576
And again, we can do this at
the individual level, so you can

82
00:06:04,576 --> 00:06:05,338
have your own team.

83
00:06:05,338 --> 00:06:09,632
And if you go you know, if you
go backwards people have in

84
00:06:09,672 --> 00:06:14,141
history and even right now,
although AI is disrupting this a

85
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:16,696
little bit people have been
hiring virtual assistants now

86
00:06:16,735 --> 00:06:18,721
for maybe 10 years.

87
00:06:18,721 --> 00:06:21,737
So it's the same kind of thing
that AI can do a lot of what

88
00:06:21,797 --> 00:06:24,795
virtual assistants used to do
and that frees up the virtual

89
00:06:24,814 --> 00:06:26,059
assistants to do something else.

90
00:06:26,059 --> 00:06:31,271
But you can do it at the
individual level, so you can

91
00:06:31,291 --> 00:06:34,314
have your own human AI team and
you can get seismic results,

92
00:06:35,098 --> 00:06:35,740
like we're seeing.

93
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:39,620
But also at work, you can build
.

94
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:43,492
The priority should be to build
human AI teams and if you look

95
00:06:43,512 --> 00:06:46,281
at the data on organisations.

96
00:06:46,281 --> 00:06:50,394
The last big set of data I saw
on this was by, I think, the

97
00:06:50,434 --> 00:06:55,975
Boston Research Group, and they
cited in their research that

98
00:06:57,336 --> 00:07:01,324
about 74% of businesses that are
spending significant money on

99
00:07:01,423 --> 00:07:03,175
AI, they're not getting any real
returns.

100
00:07:03,175 --> 00:07:09,339
And again, if you dig down into
it, it's because humans and AI

101
00:07:09,379 --> 00:07:11,725
are not collaborating well.

102
00:07:11,725 --> 00:07:17,547
It's because humans and I are
not collaborating well.

103
00:07:20,290 --> 00:07:21,315
Now, that's always been a
problem in digital

104
00:07:21,336 --> 00:07:23,750
transformation, where someone
says you buy this digital system

105
00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:27,053
and it's going to revolutionise
your business and invariably it

106
00:07:27,053 --> 00:07:28,439
doesn't work out quite like
that.

107
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:31,574
Businesses, you know, sometimes
get there eventually.

108
00:07:31,574 --> 00:07:32,754
It doesn't work out quite like
that.

109
00:07:32,754 --> 00:07:33,776
Businesses sometimes get there
eventually.

110
00:07:33,776 --> 00:07:36,120
Just, the PC took a long time
to get to become effectively

111
00:07:36,201 --> 00:07:37,824
used in organisations, for
example.

112
00:07:37,824 --> 00:07:40,791
But I think AI is different.

113
00:07:40,791 --> 00:07:41,935
It isn't just.

114
00:07:41,935 --> 00:07:48,088
It isn't just a digital tool,
it's like a team member.

115
00:07:48,975 --> 00:07:53,052
So I also think we need to move
away from talking about digital

116
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:59,396
transformation and start talking
about team transformation and,

117
00:07:59,415 --> 00:08:04,547
of course, the currency of team
transformation is human high

118
00:08:04,586 --> 00:08:07,470
performance, psychology and the
thing that underpins that is

119
00:08:07,509 --> 00:08:08,435
brain state management.

120
00:08:08,435 --> 00:08:16,312
So I think to unlock the
benefits or to scale the

121
00:08:16,351 --> 00:08:18,276
benefits of ai because many
people are unlocking the

122
00:08:18,315 --> 00:08:34,004
benefits and you're forming a
human AI team and it helps you

123
00:08:34,043 --> 00:08:34,865
to move faster.

124
00:08:34,865 --> 00:08:38,554
If we use our snowmobile
metaphor, it's like you're on

125
00:08:38,575 --> 00:08:42,244
the snowmobile, the tech is your
snowmobile the AI and it's

126
00:08:42,264 --> 00:08:44,860
helping you to move faster up
the mountain towards your goals.

127
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:48,575
And I think that's going to be
a really helpful starting point

128
00:08:50,139 --> 00:08:54,836
to just start creating a better
narrative around ourselves and

129
00:08:54,855 --> 00:09:00,402
the journeys that we're going on
, but also about what the AI

130
00:09:00,442 --> 00:09:03,568
tools can actually bring to our
lives.

131
00:09:03,568 --> 00:09:08,494
That we're seeing in our own
lives, but also our customers

132
00:09:08,533 --> 00:09:08,735
lives.

133
00:09:09,537 --> 00:09:11,722
But the key is brain state
management.

134
00:09:11,722 --> 00:09:12,785
We can't get away from that.

135
00:09:12,785 --> 00:09:15,543
That is the thing that's going
to unlock all of this.

136
00:09:15,543 --> 00:09:20,431
So I hope that was interesting.

137
00:09:20,431 --> 00:09:21,455
It got you thinking.

138
00:09:21,455 --> 00:09:25,443
My mind's racing with ideas
around this now.

139
00:09:25,443 --> 00:09:30,500
I think it's really exciting.

140
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:36,402
So you know, maybe as a quick
exercise, just start thinking

141
00:09:36,422 --> 00:09:39,115
about your little team that
you've got just for yourself.

142
00:09:39,115 --> 00:09:42,105
You know, even if you've got
like a new iPhone, for example,

143
00:09:42,897 --> 00:09:44,715
that's just it's not a passive
device anymore.

144
00:09:44,715 --> 00:09:51,317
It's got generative ai built
into it, for example, and other

145
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,543
uh ai features.

146
00:09:53,543 --> 00:09:57,674
So these things are becoming
like team members, these

147
00:09:57,774 --> 00:10:03,402
technologies, and just have a
list and maybe think about some

148
00:10:03,422 --> 00:10:06,405
of the other tasks that you do
every day you may not like doing

149
00:10:06,405 --> 00:10:06,405
.

150
00:10:06,405 --> 00:10:11,591
Is there a another ai you can
employ to help you to do that

151
00:10:11,672 --> 00:10:15,979
task more efficiently and
effectively, so that you don't

152
00:10:16,019 --> 00:10:17,501
have to do the work that you
don't want to do?

153
00:10:17,501 --> 00:10:23,220
You can focus on the work that
makes you happy, and if you're

154
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,123
interested in the happiness
equation, you can check out

155
00:10:25,964 --> 00:10:30,297
chapter seven of train your
brain for the higher revolution.

156
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:33,062
So enough from it, from me.

157
00:10:33,062 --> 00:10:38,176
Enjoy the rest of your day and
remember you're only ever one

158
00:10:38,856 --> 00:10:40,177
brain state habit away.
