Some local businesses are making use of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline operations and enhance their services.
One that might surprise you is Haskett Funeral Homes, under President Colin Haskett, the President of the establishment.
When asked what they use AI for, Haskett says that it’s an “ever expanding list”.
Haskett says that the work of AI doesn’t replace their expertise; rather, it offers a fresh perspective.
However, Haskett is quick to point out the challenges. He emphasizes that success with AI requires active involvement. Relying entirely on AI to do the work is a recipe for failure. Instead, it’s about providing clear guidance and input to ensure AI delivers the desired results.
One significant obstacle Haskett notes is the hesitation some people have in admitting they use AI.
Haskett and his team are investing time in understanding AI language models better, exploring effective prompts, and sharing ideas with colleagues across North America. They are reaping the benefits of AI, not only in terms of time saved but also in the quality of the final product.
If you ask Haskett, now is the time to embrace and explore the different uses of AI.
He emphasizes that AI makes sense for every business; it’s a matter of discovering how it can benefit you the most. His parting words of wisdom: “Give it a shot! It might blow your mind.”
