Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hello to you and you and yes, you too, and
thank you for joining us on today.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is the Pulse.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I am Stormy, your host, and I got a special
guest in the studio for today. We're always keeping our
fingertips on the pulse of our community, and the conversation
that I'm about to have with you is something I
think you should grab the young folks for and grab
everybody and just tell them come towards radio so they
can hear this show. I think it's very gonna be
(00:28):
very important.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You're gonna be glad that you did.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, So the young man that is in front of
me today is getting ready to talk about something that
I a lot of us have been talking about but
we don't know we've been talking about it. Some of
y'all don't even know. But anyway, let me let him
introduce himself. Tell everybody who you are, yes, and what
it is that you do.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
My name is Gerald Keys. I am the chief of
production for Ludacris Chris Bridges.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You mean Ludacris as in Layah Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, mister mister fast and furious. We love Ludacris and
the greatest person i've ever met you, know.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
So what is it like working?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, let me get back to you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We'll get back to you and then tell me more.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah. So I'm chief of Production.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm also chief of Arts and Music for the Ludacris Foundation,
where we've been able to create a program called Techtoons
where we just try to incubate young people to give
them an opportunity to work with big corporations in tech
to help them build their resume. And really their social
media is their resume. So just giving them opportunities to
be photo you know, in photos, or to give descriptions
(01:32):
in their captions about what they've been able to do,
so that we kind of eradicate that catch twenty two
of the entertainment business of how do you get a
gig if you've never had a gig and all that
kind of stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So, okay, but I want to go back to something
you just said. You said social media is their resume.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yes, social media is their resume.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I think that's for all of us, but more importantly
for youth being able to do things and create opportunities
that you can showcase so that when somebody looks you up,
they automatically without having to talk to you can get
an understanding of what you stand for, what you're trying
to create, and to see how valuable you can be
in their space.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Because isn't that what we do now? When we get
a reference and somebody says, well, check out our Instagram, honey,
if you want to know see her work or that
you know that, Yes, exactly, that's what we do. It's like, yeah,
it is yours. And I never thought of saying it
like that, but social media has now become folks resume,
whether you know it or not.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Oh yeah, it's your resume. It it's your resume, it's
your representation. We all are brands. We all are marketing
ourselves every day, regardless of if you know it or not. Yes, yes, yeah,
your points of views, all that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's good because I think a lot of young people
need to know that. But you i'd heard this is
what I heard.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We'll get the Ludagros in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But I heard some of what you do is teaching
these young people how to I guess grow in the
space of AI.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, that's actually why I'm here in Memphis. I'm here
to tein up with Lemoyne Owen's College and shout out
to Lamoy and on shout out, shout out to the magicians.
So I'm here because they're throwing a cybersecurity and AI
conference for the city, and so I'm giving a keynote
on AI and how to use AI and just the
(03:13):
things that I've been through in this journey. It's been
about a two to three year journey for me really
learning how to leverage AI from all spaces, not just entertainment,
but just as human beings. And right, I created a
company called Prompt House, where we really are trying to
just educate people as much as possible and create solutions
for people to take advantage of all the things that
(03:35):
AI is going to let's just say, quote unquote destroy
in regards to the economy and jobs and all that.
But there's an opportunity. With every revolution, with every disruption,
there's a bunch of opportunities. And so I think what
we're trying to do at Prompt House is create those
opportunities in conjunction with the Ludacris Foundation.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See I love that because a lot of people talk
about the fear of AI, yes, but they never tell
you that there's something positive that can come out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And you just said, thank you, thank you for coming,
thank you for sharing this, thank you laman On College
for having him. But Gerald, let's get into it, because
a lot of people have been talking relatively relative to
us in Memphis about x Ai.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, that we know, houses grow.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I guess it's how you say his name, and then
of course google who is coming across the street or
across the waters, across the waters as we say, but
it's it's there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
They're right here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So this is definitely what maybe a lot of people
don't in Memphis don't know. This is a revolution and
we will be a part of it. We are a
part of it. Yes, And so for us in Memphis
that I mean to have those here, what should we expect?
What is it that we should do to prepare ourselves, uh,
(04:57):
you know, to be ready for this new revolution.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I think whatever industry you're in, it's very important to
understand and research or google it's how AI specifically is
going to affect your industry because yes, AI will replace jobs, but.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It won't replace people.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
People that understand how to use AI will be the
ones replacing people. And so if you have a certain
level of expertise at a certain age. I think the
older that you are, the better off you are because
you have a lot more experience to do quality control.
There will be a lot of things that human expertise
will be able to add to these companies like Google
(05:38):
coming into the landscape. I personally am a Silicon Valley
baby in the sense of I grew up from Sacramento, California.
My mom is part of that Internet dot com bubble,
and I've seen how that is. So just learning from history,
I know that the more information and value that you
have from your wealth of knowledge, you can propose that
(05:58):
to a company to give you a higher paying position
and do a lot less work physical work for utilizing
your brain power.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And isn't that interesting because most of us are using
AI and don't even know.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Exactly we've been using it for a while. Your series
when you watch Netflix, and the way that it promotes
things to you, a lot of the different things tools
that we use on a daily basis, we don't understand
how much AI Artificial intelligence. For those of you that
don't understand AI, it's in our background every day. But
now we are able to harness it using tools like
(06:34):
a Chat GPT, a Gemini, a Microsoft Copilot, these different
tools that allow you to garner information really fast and
simplify it for you by using common language, so you
don't have to be some kind of coder, some kind
of super specialized geeker nerd. You can literally be a
regular person and instead of googling something doing a bunch
(06:56):
of research, you can ask a specific question and it'll
spit back answers that tailor towards who you are, and
the more that you engage with it, the more that
it understands you and what you're trying how.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To communicate with you. I talked to mine today, You
be transparent chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yes, I tell people all the time I talk to
God and then I talked to chat.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, I don't talk to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But I did talk to chat today because I was
gonna wear white shirt today and I said, girl, should
I wear this white shirt?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah? No.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But seriously, that's a very important aspect of this whole thing,
is that if you have everyone should own some sort
of account that has AI to help them be preventative,
to help them be futuristic, even just for your daily
life when you're going through something and you may not
you may not be able to afford a therapist or
certain things. Being able to just ask it something and
(07:50):
it gives you a different perspective than what's in your head.
That's a great escape in itself. So I'm not all
for you know, automation and everybody making these things their lives.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But it is a tool. It's a tool to make
a tool.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, and that's definitely what we need people to remember.
It is a tool. And because because I say that,
because some people use that tool in ways that I
personally personally believe they shouldn't, right, that's why. Yeah, that's
why I'm Yeah, it is a tool and it can
be I feel like a tool that can enhance what
(08:22):
you already do.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's very similar to the
invention of the gun.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
The gun is not the thing that destroys anything. It's
the person behind the gun and their intentions with it.
And so I look at ais, Wow, that's very similar
tool where you know, it's about who's hands it's in
and what they're going to do with it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So do you suggest to the parents that are listening
in grandparents, do you suggest that children be introduced to
a AI unsupervised or or is that something that you
suggest that is that they do at an older age,
because because I feel like, if you're gonna you're introducing
to introducing them to it anyway. Yes, with everything your
(09:07):
security system at your home, Yes, your Alexa, all that stuff,
you're introducing it to them anyway. Yes, But I feel
like I'm supervised like anything, just like anything can be dangerous.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think more importantly when we talk about technology and
the advancement of it, I think parents have to parent
even more. I think there's a generation being a millennial.
I really believe that it's our responsibility to be the
adults that grow with technology and not technology get further
than us, so that when we introduce tools to our kids,
(09:42):
we can control how much access they have to them,
because it's to me, it's very important that the faster
kids understand technology, the more they can create new things
with it younger, which will create younger millionaires, better stability,
which will you know, eradicate more crime, and will put
younger people from let's just call what I have to
(10:04):
call first world environments, right, we live sorry, third world
environments in the first world country, so impoverished communities, different things.
They'll be able to create younger and build a way
out of these environments faster. But it takes parents to
be able to say, hey, I'm going to give you
this tool, but only at this capacity and you don't
(10:25):
have to explain it, just you know, spoon feeded. But
parents have to parent a lot more because the tools
can outgrow you really fast, really fast.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And then when the tools outgrow you, if your child
is unsupervised doing it, they'll outgrow you too. Yeah, and
you'll be like what.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, you know, I have a four year.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Old and with my four year old, he understands that
daddy has a robot that we can ask questions to
hold up.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Now, you got a robot?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Well, the thing I called chat to him chat gbt's robot. No, no, no, no,
I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
People have them.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, but I want him to be used to the
concept of being able to get answers. But then there's
a level of responsibility. I have to teach him how
to think right and not, you know, not giving a
four year old a calculator before they understand math.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But I love your terminology.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
How you said robot, yeah, and how you even said
that social media is now our resume.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I just love that. Is that terminology for the people
in the AI space? Do y'all use different phrases? Because
who came up with chat? Was that castanett? No?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
No, no, no, Well that comes from the younger community
for sure. But I think my whole philosophy on life is,
you know, people that understand things very sophisticated, we have
to be graceful enough to relay it in a way
that's common because a lot of times people get people
people that are nerds. We really get into this very
(11:54):
like I'm so smart space, right, But that's not fair
to the people that don't have the opportunities that we
have to go into these spaces. So all I ever
try to do, and I believe one of my superpowers
is to be able to take high level information and
break it down for people to be able to absorb
in a way that's beneficial to them.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's a gift, thank you. I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's a gift because a lot of people, I feel like,
don't know how to do that. I think some people
have the ability to, you know, the mental capability, but
sometimes they don't know how to express it. In words
that a layman can understand that that's the regular like
you just said, I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I think that's a gift.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
No, it's very important to me. I think that's a
lot of what I try to do is just go
and grab the information as much as possible, being in
my position working with all of these different corporations, and
then coming in and being able to spread it out,
especially to our people, you know, in the communities, the
black communities, the minority communities, because a lot of times
we're withheld from information, and a lot of times when
(12:53):
we do get information, it might be overwhelming, so we
run from it. So my mission is always to be
able to grab high level information, break it down so
that people want to run towards it, Yeah, and not
be afraid of it, and not be afraid of it,
because right now is not the time to be afraid
of At the.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Time, it is the pulse. I am stormy, keeping our
fingertips on the pulse of our community. Gerald Keys is
with me today and he was in town with one
on college talking to the young folks over there. Are
you talking to young people or are you talking to
the people at the university, The teachers and professors and
explaining to them, well.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The event helping them.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
The event is a multi age space, so it's something
that I think we've hit capacity at the registrations, but
we definitely tell people to come of all ages to
show up because you never know what you might get.
But the goal is to educate everybody from eighteen and above.
Really i'll say fourteen and above because this is information
(13:52):
that's hitting. And my keynote specifically is to give the
general tools of how to think, not necessarily what tools
to use, but what to think. And then I have
examples of things that we're doing at prompt House to
be able to do.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So okay, okay, when you say what to think.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, explain that to me.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So what to think really means how people look at AI.
And if you're not in a industry or tech industry,
people don't think that they need to learn AI. And
we all if you post on social media, we're all
content creators. We all are brands, whether you like it
or not. How you make money with a corporation as
(14:32):
an employee or entrepreneur or entrepreneurs all going to be
based on your productivity and the way that you're able
to put things out there into the world. So I
want to get everybody to understand that this is the
time that we cannot back away from the AI revolution.
And how whatever you do in your life, even if
you just like to cook and post videos of your food,
(14:54):
how you can post or your grand babies, but how
you can turn that thought or your experience into some
sort of revenue that you don't have to go out
into the world and sell things. There's revenue for posting,
there's revenue for getting sent products and testing out products
(15:14):
for what you can do. And so as this revolution comes,
it's just about owning your content, owning the fact that
you do something that somebody else either looks up to
doesn't have information on. You know, if you're sixty, there's
somebody that's fifty that needs your information. If you're fifty,
or somebody that's forty that needs your information, and so
on and so forth. So that's really what the conversation
is about tomorrow amongst all the other amazing panels and speakers.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And this is why Ludacris hired you.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You know, I learned from.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The best, So did you learn from him or did
you teach him?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So with AI, I definitely I can say that I've
been teaching him more on the AIO. He's you know,
so busy with so many different things that he does,
but he definitely has given me the time and the
space for me to be able to dedicate to learning
this tool and then giving me the platform with the
Ludacris Foundation to start, you know, educating people, starting with
(16:04):
the youth, because that's my background. I'm from Sacramento, California,
and taught with the City of Sacramento for a long
time after school programs.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
How hard was it to leave that to go work
for Ludacris.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Well, prior to I, I had left that space because
the politics of education. Being a young administrator, I had
found out that it wasn't always about the kids when
it came to financing and funding, but the fundraising we
put the kids in the front, and I spoke out
about it being very disruptive, and you know, when you're
(16:37):
disruptive in spaces where there's money involved, they usually kick
you out. And so once I got kicked out, I
you know, went on my journey musically, met Ludacris. We
did a lot of great things together musically. Yes, pause,
what do you do play an.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm a music producer.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'm a record producer, so the chief of production role
is pretty much like five different jobs. So I'm a
studio engineer, I'm his music. We got new music coming
out in October. I'm a Swiss army knife. That's what
he calls me his I'm in his Swiss Army knife
for sure. Once we met and he realized I kind
of do everything under the spell of entertainment and I'm
(17:16):
very adaptive, so he was just like, come on, let's go.
So I was only supposed to be in Atlanta for
three months working with them, and then it's been seven years.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
So yeah, that's been our relationship.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You love it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I love it every day. It doesn't feel like work.
It feels very purposeful.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
He gave me the opportunity to do what I love
and purpose and which was completely help him build the
next generation of his career, which is based in philanthropy.
So that allowed me to just really go wild because
serving is I'm a church kid, so it's like, you know,
serving is very much so part of my DNA, and
being able to do it at this level and him
giving me the full time, he just like, go crazy,
(17:53):
do what you want to do and it's been beautiful
ever since. Created a TV show on Netflix called Carmer's World. Yeah,
We've launched a program called Kidnation. I've been able to
create a program called tech Tunes under Ludacris Foundation, where
we partner with Microsoft from a bunch of workshops teaching
AI music to young people, giving people, young people an
(18:14):
opportunity to dream with a very low barrier to entry.
So now I'm working with you know, places like Lemoyne
to educate on a bigger scale for all ages. And
I created a company called prompt House where we literally
are building bridges between entertainment and tech and just telling people, hey,
this new revolution. Anytime there's a revolution, we have to
(18:36):
you know, galvanize and be a community. But this is
a little bit different where the entertainers need to start
working with the developers and all the tech people to
create these solutions that are going to allowed us to
save the human aspect of things, as opposed to letting
corporations just letting everything be automated.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You know, I was waiting for space to say look
at God, because everything that you were telling me that
you that God is basically you mean you move from this,
to this, to this, that and this. So I want
you to talk to some young people that might be
listening yeah, that feel hopeless because we have a situation
(19:16):
here in Memphis where in you know, the guard might
be here when this airs.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
What do you say to a young person when all
they know.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Is I got a hustle, whether that's taking something from somebody,
making it my own, or or stealing or hurting people
to make a living. What do you say to a
young person that is in that life that feels like
(19:52):
they have nothing to lose, that has no hope? What
do you say to them?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'll say, from being one of those young people before
and being on the other side of it, it's very
important that you do not let the devil's tools distract you.
These are tools devices that aren't for us. But what
I mean the music that we listen to, the content
that we digest, a lot of it pushes false narratives
(20:19):
past what your purpose is. I think for young people
me being one foot in the negative and then being
in the positive and dibble dabbling for a long time
and then finally being full positive. It's very important that
you get closer to your word. Whatever religion you come from,
whatever background, whatever higher power you believe in, tap into
(20:41):
that because you will find purpose. Purpose sometimes is very uncomfortable,
especially in the beginning. Yeah, but once you can push
through the uncomfort, God is always going to be with you.
And if you understand that, no matter what the adversity is,
the hunger, whatever, He's not gonna let you fail once
you make a commitment to pushing a purpose that is
(21:03):
higher than yourself. So find something that you enjoy doing
so that you don't spend the rest of your life
hating what you do, but more importantly, find how it
benefits other people, and you will be rewarded tenfold. I
can tell you right now, if you do more than
you're paid for, eventually you will be paid more than
when you do.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's a fact. It is. It's a fact.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I've heard so many people say that from I think
the first person I heard say that, and probably many
of us people that are listening it was Oprah. If
you love what you do, it won't feel like work. Yeah,
and you could do it for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Yeah, and you're going to have to work hard to
be able to get to that position.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Hard work is something that I think a lot of
people don't get and hard work doesn't have to be
hard work of the past, right.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
And now with AI and all these different tools, Web three, blockchain,
making a barrier to entry so low, all you have
to do is try. The gratification comes faster, meaning that
you can spend a few hours a week learning something,
implementing it as you learn it, and then putting it
(22:16):
out into the world to get the gratification. I think,
especially young people, we have we have this generation of
a main character syndrome which social media has created, and
so leaning to that as a benefit as opposed to
a negative. It's saying, okay, do things. That's going to
continue to give you the power and the fuel that
(22:37):
you're gonna need to get to that next level. If
you are a creator, create now, don't wait to create.
If you say if you're fifteen sixteen, you know, and
you say you want to be X y Z, you
can be that right now by just trying it. Setting
up the camera. If you want to be an actor,
setting up a camera and doing a scene from your
(22:58):
favorite movie and posting that all the time, you're showing
that you're an actor. If you're you know, a coder,
you can build something.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
I really want to push for making smart sexy again.
It's not all about either you know, catching a ball
or sports and entertainment being the only ways that our
people can actually make it. You know, we we we
built so much of what America is and that's not
talked about enough. You know, they only showcase the things
that they want us to be, you know, and so
(23:29):
it's okay to be smart. It's okay to it's actually beneficial.
There's people make more money using their brains.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
If you want to be some a political leader for
your community, start with your community. All those things are
very important. Please please please dream out loud.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
M I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, I'm stormy. It's the pulse. We always keep our
fingertips on the pulse of our community. Gerald Keys is
here with us today.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He works with Luta.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah. Yeah, tell him we said hi. I'sen him a
lot of love from Memphis. But let's get back to AI.
If you don't mind a lot of people, we've been
hearing a lot of predictions about at least I have
read a lot of predictions about AI. That it could
solve crime, Yes, that it could eliminate the need for doctors.
(24:20):
I heard oh what's his name say that recently, the
rich guy that's going to give away all his money. No,
not him, the other one. There's the one that got
divorced getting married. Oh, Bill Gates, Bill Gate b y. Yeah, Yes,
I heard him say that that there will be a
time when we won't have to go to a doctor
(24:42):
all the time, because AI is getting ready to occupy spaces.
And I bring that up because for me, when I
hear some of that stuff, it it is fearful, you
know what I'm saying, And I think a lot of
other people that might hear that may think it is fearful.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Tell me what the positives are.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, well, first to kind of get that out the way,
I have a very clear way that I try.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
To explain this.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Only one hundred years ago, before cars were invented, there
were thousands of people that their job was to pick
up horse poop. Right because cars were invented and cars invented,
those people lost jobs, but then they picked it up
somewhere else. So I always want to say, whatever is
going to be taken away, you can find a way
to replace it. And if you utilize the tools. The
pros of AI, like I said before, are the low
(25:32):
barrier to entry when it comes to creating the things
that you see are needed in the world, whether it
be trying to make an advancement in your job. You
can go in and get more information faster than any
other way for you to be prepared for that promotion,
for that opportunity. You can take what you know in
(25:53):
a certain space and then amplify it by being able
to put presentations together, being able to create things that
would normally take you know, weeks or months or outsourcing
and getting done yours to where you can show proof
of concept way faster. That's one of the biggest benefits
from it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah. I was on social media and you've probably seen
this too. I saw this.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Lady talking about she's teaching classes on how to make
AI work for you, and she talks about how she
does presentations in a matter of seconds. They basically reclaiming
her time if I can use those words, and also
building somewhat of an empire for herself. Yes, with doing that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And she is doing classes across the country, Yes, teaching.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
People how to do that. So that right there is
another job. Yeah, that's creative it didn't even exist.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So there's going to be so many jobs that are
created from this.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
And that's why I tell people right now before the
window closes of these companies trying to figure out who's
who's what's what all that create the world that you
want to see for yourself and post it on your
social media so that when you go for something that
is about to be created, a job position that's never
been seen before, you actually are prepared, whether you know
(27:13):
it or not. And that's a very very important thing.
Education for kids, have a four year old, tutoring is
going to be a lot easier because now for however
your child learns, there's a way for you to be
able to input the way that your child learns, and
they will tailor certain things to be able to help
your child either catch up or move past, you know,
(27:34):
their grade level.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, so many positives.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So it's something it's okay, you make me feel better,
Thank you you do. I'm serious because I was fearful
and that's why I wanted to have the conversation. When
Tracy mentioned that you wanted to come back and talk
about a.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I was like, oh, yeah, this is interested too, you know. Yeah,
And It's not just me.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
It's a conversation that so many of us are interested in,
and so many older people, I think, are afraid of it.
I will tell you there is something that I understand
to be true, and you tell me if I'm right
or wrong. When you are giving information to chat, GPT,
Genesis or whatever AI you're using, I have been telling
(28:13):
people to be careful about giving those platforms your personal information.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Huh, guess what the government already has it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Isn't it possible that those platforms can share your information.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Don't share information that can cause fraud on your behalf
or fraud to.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You harmful information.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I think that the cycle of information that goes around
that's input into these machines helps the overall understanding of
how the machine processes. But there is security measures that
need to get better. Just across anything. The moment that
you use your bank card at a shell gas station,
there's fraud everywhere. You can't you know, there's always going
(28:59):
to be the negative to the positive. Yes, I think
if we focus so much on the negative, we won't
get anywhere. And our people are the ones that we
look at the fear before we look at the benefit.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, but but it is also good to to learn
about these things.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yes, so that you know how to use them properly.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, so that you don't fall into something that you're like,
Oh my god, I didn't know I was telling it
my life.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh yeah, for sure, you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And because everything can and will be used against you
in the court of law at this point.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
They just they just announced that.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But you know, I think that's why I think what
we're doing at Lemoyne College is going to be great
because the simple fact that it's a cybersecurity and there's
more people that should be in cybersecurity because it's gonna
be one of those jobs that pays a lot and
they're gonna need a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Got it and love it. Thank you so much for
coming Gerald Memphis, let us.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Know, and thank you for having me. This is great.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
I will most definitely. I love him physics. It's a
great feeling being here.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's welcome to myth Yes, yes, home to come to.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
No, for sure, I think we have some shows here
next year.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh really, Okay, wow, okay, he just gave us something
we didn't even look out for it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Look out for it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And thank you to lamaran On College for being an
amazing HBCU in our community and for all the work
that they do here that people don't talk enough about.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Now, they're doing a lot of great things and they're
on a cusp of innovation. So I'm very excited to
be partner with it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm excited too.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, yeah, So thank you again, Jack, thank you. Yeah,
it's the pulse. We always keep our fingertips on the
pulse of our community. Gerald, Keys, ladies and gentlemen. Yea,
all right, We'll see you next week, same time, same station.
God bless you have a great week.
All right, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hello to you and you and yes, you too, and
thank you for joining us on today.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is the Pulse.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I am Stormy, your host, and I got a special
guest in the studio for today. We're always keeping our
fingertips on the pulse of our community, and the conversation
that I'm about to have with you is something I
think you should grab the young folks for and grab
everybody and just tell them come towards radio so they
can hear this show. I think it's very gonna be
(00:28):
very important.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You're gonna be glad that you did.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, So the young man that is in front of
me today is getting ready to talk about something that
I a lot of us have been talking about but
we don't know we've been talking about it. Some of
y'all don't even know. But anyway, let me let him
introduce himself. Tell everybody who you are, yes, and what
it is that you do.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
My name is Gerald Keys. I am the chief of
production for Ludacris Chris Bridges.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You mean Ludacris as in Layah Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, mister mister fast and furious. We love Ludacris and
the greatest person i've ever met you, know.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
So what is it like working?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, let me get back to you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We'll get back to you and then tell me more.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah. So I'm chief of Production.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm also chief of Arts and Music for the Ludacris Foundation,
where we've been able to create a program called Techtoons
where we just try to incubate young people to give
them an opportunity to work with big corporations in tech
to help them build their resume. And really their social
media is their resume. So just giving them opportunities to
be photo you know, in photos, or to give descriptions
(01:32):
in their captions about what they've been able to do,
so that we kind of eradicate that catch twenty two
of the entertainment business of how do you get a
gig if you've never had a gig and all that
kind of stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So, okay, but I want to go back to something
you just said. You said social media is their resume.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yes, social media is their resume.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I think that's for all of us, but more importantly
for youth being able to do things and create opportunities
that you can showcase so that when somebody looks you up,
they automatically without having to talk to you can get
an understanding of what you stand for, what you're trying
to create, and to see how valuable you can be
in their space.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Because isn't that what we do now? When we get
a reference and somebody says, well, check out our Instagram, honey,
if you want to know see her work or that
you know that, Yes, exactly, that's what we do. It's like, yeah,
it is yours. And I never thought of saying it
like that, but social media has now become folks resume,
whether you know it or not.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Oh yeah, it's your resume. It it's your resume, it's
your representation. We all are brands. We all are marketing
ourselves every day, regardless of if you know it or not. Yes, yes, yeah,
your points of views, all that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's good because I think a lot of young people
need to know that. But you i'd heard this is
what I heard.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We'll get the Ludagros in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But I heard some of what you do is teaching
these young people how to I guess grow in the
space of AI.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, that's actually why I'm here in Memphis. I'm here
to tein up with Lemoyne Owen's College and shout out
to Lamoy and on shout out, shout out to the magicians.
So I'm here because they're throwing a cybersecurity and AI
conference for the city, and so I'm giving a keynote
on AI and how to use AI and just the
(03:13):
things that I've been through in this journey. It's been
about a two to three year journey for me really
learning how to leverage AI from all spaces, not just entertainment,
but just as human beings. And right, I created a
company called Prompt House, where we really are trying to
just educate people as much as possible and create solutions
for people to take advantage of all the things that
(03:35):
AI is going to let's just say, quote unquote destroy
in regards to the economy and jobs and all that.
But there's an opportunity. With every revolution, with every disruption,
there's a bunch of opportunities. And so I think what
we're trying to do at Prompt House is create those
opportunities in conjunction with the Ludacris Foundation.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See I love that because a lot of people talk
about the fear of AI, yes, but they never tell
you that there's something positive that can come out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And you just said, thank you, thank you for coming,
thank you for sharing this, thank you laman On College
for having him. But Gerald, let's get into it, because
a lot of people have been talking relatively relative to
us in Memphis about x Ai.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, that we know, houses grow.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I guess it's how you say his name, and then
of course google who is coming across the street or
across the waters, across the waters as we say, but
it's it's there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
They're right here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So this is definitely what maybe a lot of people
don't in Memphis don't know. This is a revolution and
we will be a part of it. We are a
part of it. Yes, And so for us in Memphis
that I mean to have those here, what should we expect?
What is it that we should do to prepare ourselves, uh,
(04:57):
you know, to be ready for this new revolution.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I think whatever industry you're in, it's very important to
understand and research or google it's how AI specifically is
going to affect your industry because yes, AI will replace jobs, but.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It won't replace people.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
People that understand how to use AI will be the
ones replacing people. And so if you have a certain
level of expertise at a certain age. I think the
older that you are, the better off you are because
you have a lot more experience to do quality control.
There will be a lot of things that human expertise
will be able to add to these companies like Google
(05:38):
coming into the landscape. I personally am a Silicon Valley
baby in the sense of I grew up from Sacramento, California.
My mom is part of that Internet dot com bubble,
and I've seen how that is. So just learning from history,
I know that the more information and value that you
have from your wealth of knowledge, you can propose that
(05:58):
to a company to give you a higher paying position
and do a lot less work physical work for utilizing
your brain power.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And isn't that interesting because most of us are using
AI and don't even know.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Exactly we've been using it for a while. Your series
when you watch Netflix, and the way that it promotes
things to you, a lot of the different things tools
that we use on a daily basis, we don't understand
how much AI Artificial intelligence. For those of you that
don't understand AI, it's in our background every day. But
now we are able to harness it using tools like
(06:34):
a Chat GPT, a Gemini, a Microsoft Copilot, these different
tools that allow you to garner information really fast and
simplify it for you by using common language, so you
don't have to be some kind of coder, some kind
of super specialized geeker nerd. You can literally be a
regular person and instead of googling something doing a bunch
(06:56):
of research, you can ask a specific question and it'll
spit back answers that tailor towards who you are, and
the more that you engage with it, the more that
it understands you and what you're trying how.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To communicate with you. I talked to mine today, You
be transparent chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yes, I tell people all the time I talk to
God and then I talked to chat.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, I don't talk to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But I did talk to chat today because I was
gonna wear white shirt today and I said, girl, should
I wear this white shirt?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah? No.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But seriously, that's a very important aspect of this whole thing,
is that if you have everyone should own some sort
of account that has AI to help them be preventative,
to help them be futuristic, even just for your daily
life when you're going through something and you may not
you may not be able to afford a therapist or
certain things. Being able to just ask it something and
(07:50):
it gives you a different perspective than what's in your head.
That's a great escape in itself. So I'm not all
for you know, automation and everybody making these things their lives.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But it is a tool. It's a tool to make
a tool.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, and that's definitely what we need people to remember.
It is a tool. And because because I say that,
because some people use that tool in ways that I
personally personally believe they shouldn't, right, that's why. Yeah, that's
why I'm Yeah, it is a tool and it can
be I feel like a tool that can enhance what
(08:22):
you already do.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's very similar to the
invention of the gun.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
The gun is not the thing that destroys anything. It's
the person behind the gun and their intentions with it.
And so I look at ais, Wow, that's very similar
tool where you know, it's about who's hands it's in
and what they're going to do with it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So do you suggest to the parents that are listening
in grandparents, do you suggest that children be introduced to
a AI unsupervised or or is that something that you
suggest that is that they do at an older age,
because because I feel like, if you're gonna you're introducing
to introducing them to it anyway. Yes, with everything your
(09:07):
security system at your home, Yes, your Alexa, all that stuff,
you're introducing it to them anyway. Yes, But I feel
like I'm supervised like anything, just like anything can be dangerous.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think more importantly when we talk about technology and
the advancement of it, I think parents have to parent
even more. I think there's a generation being a millennial.
I really believe that it's our responsibility to be the
adults that grow with technology and not technology get further
than us, so that when we introduce tools to our kids,
(09:42):
we can control how much access they have to them,
because it's to me, it's very important that the faster
kids understand technology, the more they can create new things
with it younger, which will create younger millionaires, better stability,
which will you know, eradicate more crime, and will put
younger people from let's just call what I have to
(10:04):
call first world environments, right, we live sorry, third world
environments in the first world country, so impoverished communities, different things.
They'll be able to create younger and build a way
out of these environments faster. But it takes parents to
be able to say, hey, I'm going to give you
this tool, but only at this capacity and you don't
(10:25):
have to explain it, just you know, spoon feeded. But
parents have to parent a lot more because the tools
can outgrow you really fast, really fast.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And then when the tools outgrow you, if your child
is unsupervised doing it, they'll outgrow you too. Yeah, and
you'll be like what.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, you know, I have a four year.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Old and with my four year old, he understands that
daddy has a robot that we can ask questions to
hold up.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Now, you got a robot?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Well, the thing I called chat to him chat gbt's robot. No, no, no, no,
I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
People have them.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, but I want him to be used to the
concept of being able to get answers. But then there's
a level of responsibility. I have to teach him how
to think right and not, you know, not giving a
four year old a calculator before they understand math.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But I love your terminology.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
How you said robot, yeah, and how you even said
that social media is now our resume.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I just love that. Is that terminology for the people
in the AI space? Do y'all use different phrases? Because
who came up with chat? Was that castanett? No?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
No, no, no, Well that comes from the younger community
for sure. But I think my whole philosophy on life is,
you know, people that understand things very sophisticated, we have
to be graceful enough to relay it in a way
that's common because a lot of times people get people
people that are nerds. We really get into this very
(11:54):
like I'm so smart space, right, But that's not fair
to the people that don't have the opportunities that we
have to go into these spaces. So all I ever
try to do, and I believe one of my superpowers
is to be able to take high level information and
break it down for people to be able to absorb
in a way that's beneficial to them.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's a gift, thank you. I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's a gift because a lot of people, I feel like,
don't know how to do that. I think some people
have the ability to, you know, the mental capability, but
sometimes they don't know how to express it. In words
that a layman can understand that that's the regular like
you just said, I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I think that's a gift.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
No, it's very important to me. I think that's a
lot of what I try to do is just go
and grab the information as much as possible, being in
my position working with all of these different corporations, and
then coming in and being able to spread it out,
especially to our people, you know, in the communities, the
black communities, the minority communities, because a lot of times
we're withheld from information, and a lot of times when
(12:53):
we do get information, it might be overwhelming, so we
run from it. So my mission is always to be
able to grab high level information, break it down so
that people want to run towards it, Yeah, and not
be afraid of it, and not be afraid of it,
because right now is not the time to be afraid
of At the.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Time, it is the pulse. I am stormy, keeping our
fingertips on the pulse of our community. Gerald Keys is
with me today and he was in town with one
on college talking to the young folks over there. Are
you talking to young people or are you talking to
the people at the university, The teachers and professors and
explaining to them, well.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The event helping them.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
The event is a multi age space, so it's something
that I think we've hit capacity at the registrations, but
we definitely tell people to come of all ages to
show up because you never know what you might get.
But the goal is to educate everybody from eighteen and above.
Really i'll say fourteen and above because this is information
(13:52):
that's hitting. And my keynote specifically is to give the
general tools of how to think, not necessarily what tools
to use, but what to think. And then I have
examples of things that we're doing at prompt House to
be able to do.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So okay, okay, when you say what to think.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, explain that to me.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So what to think really means how people look at AI.
And if you're not in a industry or tech industry,
people don't think that they need to learn AI. And
we all if you post on social media, we're all
content creators. We all are brands, whether you like it
or not. How you make money with a corporation as
(14:32):
an employee or entrepreneur or entrepreneurs all going to be
based on your productivity and the way that you're able
to put things out there into the world. So I
want to get everybody to understand that this is the
time that we cannot back away from the AI revolution.
And how whatever you do in your life, even if
you just like to cook and post videos of your food,
(14:54):
how you can post or your grand babies, but how
you can turn that thought or your experience into some
sort of revenue that you don't have to go out
into the world and sell things. There's revenue for posting,
there's revenue for getting sent products and testing out products
(15:14):
for what you can do. And so as this revolution comes,
it's just about owning your content, owning the fact that
you do something that somebody else either looks up to
doesn't have information on. You know, if you're sixty, there's
somebody that's fifty that needs your information. If you're fifty,
or somebody that's forty that needs your information, and so
on and so forth. So that's really what the conversation
is about tomorrow amongst all the other amazing panels and speakers.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And this is why Ludacris hired you.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You know, I learned from.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The best, So did you learn from him or did
you teach him?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So with AI, I definitely I can say that I've
been teaching him more on the AIO. He's you know,
so busy with so many different things that he does,
but he definitely has given me the time and the
space for me to be able to dedicate to learning
this tool and then giving me the platform with the
Ludacris Foundation to start, you know, educating people, starting with
(16:04):
the youth, because that's my background. I'm from Sacramento, California,
and taught with the City of Sacramento for a long
time after school programs.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
How hard was it to leave that to go work
for Ludacris.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Well, prior to I, I had left that space because
the politics of education. Being a young administrator, I had
found out that it wasn't always about the kids when
it came to financing and funding, but the fundraising we
put the kids in the front, and I spoke out
about it being very disruptive, and you know, when you're
(16:37):
disruptive in spaces where there's money involved, they usually kick
you out. And so once I got kicked out, I
you know, went on my journey musically, met Ludacris. We
did a lot of great things together musically. Yes, pause,
what do you do play an.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm a music producer.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'm a record producer, so the chief of production role
is pretty much like five different jobs. So I'm a
studio engineer, I'm his music. We got new music coming
out in October. I'm a Swiss army knife. That's what
he calls me his I'm in his Swiss Army knife
for sure. Once we met and he realized I kind
of do everything under the spell of entertainment and I'm
(17:16):
very adaptive, so he was just like, come on, let's go.
So I was only supposed to be in Atlanta for
three months working with them, and then it's been seven years.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
So yeah, that's been our relationship.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You love it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I love it every day. It doesn't feel like work.
It feels very purposeful.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
He gave me the opportunity to do what I love
and purpose and which was completely help him build the
next generation of his career, which is based in philanthropy.
So that allowed me to just really go wild because
serving is I'm a church kid, so it's like, you know,
serving is very much so part of my DNA, and
being able to do it at this level and him
giving me the full time, he just like, go crazy,
(17:53):
do what you want to do and it's been beautiful
ever since. Created a TV show on Netflix called Carmer's World. Yeah,
We've launched a program called Kidnation. I've been able to
create a program called tech Tunes under Ludacris Foundation, where
we partner with Microsoft from a bunch of workshops teaching
AI music to young people, giving people, young people an
(18:14):
opportunity to dream with a very low barrier to entry.
So now I'm working with you know, places like Lemoyne
to educate on a bigger scale for all ages. And
I created a company called prompt House where we literally
are building bridges between entertainment and tech and just telling people, hey,
this new revolution. Anytime there's a revolution, we have to
(18:36):
you know, galvanize and be a community. But this is
a little bit different where the entertainers need to start
working with the developers and all the tech people to
create these solutions that are going to allowed us to
save the human aspect of things, as opposed to letting
corporations just letting everything be automated.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You know, I was waiting for space to say look
at God, because everything that you were telling me that
you that God is basically you mean you move from this,
to this, to this, that and this. So I want
you to talk to some young people that might be
listening yeah, that feel hopeless because we have a situation
(19:16):
here in Memphis where in you know, the guard might
be here when this airs.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
What do you say to a young person when all
they know.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Is I got a hustle, whether that's taking something from somebody,
making it my own, or or stealing or hurting people
to make a living. What do you say to a
young person that is in that life that feels like
(19:52):
they have nothing to lose, that has no hope? What
do you say to them?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'll say, from being one of those young people before
and being on the other side of it, it's very
important that you do not let the devil's tools distract you.
These are tools devices that aren't for us. But what
I mean the music that we listen to, the content
that we digest, a lot of it pushes false narratives
(20:19):
past what your purpose is. I think for young people
me being one foot in the negative and then being
in the positive and dibble dabbling for a long time
and then finally being full positive. It's very important that
you get closer to your word. Whatever religion you come from,
whatever background, whatever higher power you believe in, tap into
(20:41):
that because you will find purpose. Purpose sometimes is very uncomfortable,
especially in the beginning. Yeah, but once you can push
through the uncomfort, God is always going to be with you.
And if you understand that, no matter what the adversity is,
the hunger, whatever, He's not gonna let you fail once
you make a commitment to pushing a purpose that is
(21:03):
higher than yourself. So find something that you enjoy doing
so that you don't spend the rest of your life
hating what you do, but more importantly, find how it
benefits other people, and you will be rewarded tenfold. I
can tell you right now, if you do more than
you're paid for, eventually you will be paid more than
when you do.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's a fact. It is. It's a fact.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I've heard so many people say that from I think
the first person I heard say that, and probably many
of us people that are listening it was Oprah. If
you love what you do, it won't feel like work. Yeah,
and you could do it for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Yeah, and you're going to have to work hard to
be able to get to that position.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Hard work is something that I think a lot of
people don't get and hard work doesn't have to be
hard work of the past, right.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
And now with AI and all these different tools, Web three, blockchain,
making a barrier to entry so low, all you have
to do is try. The gratification comes faster, meaning that
you can spend a few hours a week learning something,
implementing it as you learn it, and then putting it
(22:16):
out into the world to get the gratification. I think,
especially young people, we have we have this generation of
a main character syndrome which social media has created, and
so leaning to that as a benefit as opposed to
a negative. It's saying, okay, do things. That's going to
continue to give you the power and the fuel that
(22:37):
you're gonna need to get to that next level. If
you are a creator, create now, don't wait to create.
If you say if you're fifteen sixteen, you know, and
you say you want to be X y Z, you
can be that right now by just trying it. Setting
up the camera. If you want to be an actor,
setting up a camera and doing a scene from your
(22:58):
favorite movie and posting that all the time, you're showing
that you're an actor. If you're you know, a coder,
you can build something.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
I really want to push for making smart sexy again.
It's not all about either you know, catching a ball
or sports and entertainment being the only ways that our
people can actually make it. You know, we we we
built so much of what America is and that's not
talked about enough. You know, they only showcase the things
that they want us to be, you know, and so
(23:29):
it's okay to be smart. It's okay to it's actually beneficial.
There's people make more money using their brains.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
If you want to be some a political leader for
your community, start with your community. All those things are
very important. Please please please dream out loud.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
M I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, I'm stormy. It's the pulse. We always keep our
fingertips on the pulse of our community. Gerald Keys is
here with us today.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He works with Luta.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah. Yeah, tell him we said hi. I'sen him a
lot of love from Memphis. But let's get back to AI.
If you don't mind a lot of people, we've been
hearing a lot of predictions about at least I have
read a lot of predictions about AI. That it could
solve crime, Yes, that it could eliminate the need for doctors.
(24:20):
I heard oh what's his name say that recently, the
rich guy that's going to give away all his money. No,
not him, the other one. There's the one that got
divorced getting married. Oh, Bill Gates, Bill Gate b y. Yeah, Yes,
I heard him say that that there will be a
time when we won't have to go to a doctor
(24:42):
all the time, because AI is getting ready to occupy spaces.
And I bring that up because for me, when I
hear some of that stuff, it it is fearful, you
know what I'm saying, And I think a lot of
other people that might hear that may think it is fearful.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Tell me what the positives are.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, well, first to kind of get that out the way,
I have a very clear way that I try.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
To explain this.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Only one hundred years ago, before cars were invented, there
were thousands of people that their job was to pick
up horse poop. Right because cars were invented and cars invented,
those people lost jobs, but then they picked it up
somewhere else. So I always want to say, whatever is
going to be taken away, you can find a way
to replace it. And if you utilize the tools. The
pros of AI, like I said before, are the low
(25:32):
barrier to entry when it comes to creating the things
that you see are needed in the world, whether it
be trying to make an advancement in your job. You
can go in and get more information faster than any
other way for you to be prepared for that promotion,
for that opportunity. You can take what you know in
(25:53):
a certain space and then amplify it by being able
to put presentations together, being able to create things that
would normally take you know, weeks or months or outsourcing
and getting done yours to where you can show proof
of concept way faster. That's one of the biggest benefits
from it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah. I was on social media and you've probably seen
this too. I saw this.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Lady talking about she's teaching classes on how to make
AI work for you, and she talks about how she
does presentations in a matter of seconds. They basically reclaiming
her time if I can use those words, and also
building somewhat of an empire for herself. Yes, with doing that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And she is doing classes across the country, Yes, teaching.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
People how to do that. So that right there is
another job. Yeah, that's creative it didn't even exist.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So there's going to be so many jobs that are
created from this.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
And that's why I tell people right now before the
window closes of these companies trying to figure out who's
who's what's what all that create the world that you
want to see for yourself and post it on your
social media so that when you go for something that
is about to be created, a job position that's never
been seen before, you actually are prepared, whether you know
(27:13):
it or not. And that's a very very important thing.
Education for kids, have a four year old, tutoring is
going to be a lot easier because now for however
your child learns, there's a way for you to be
able to input the way that your child learns, and
they will tailor certain things to be able to help
your child either catch up or move past, you know,
(27:34):
their grade level.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, so many positives.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So it's something it's okay, you make me feel better,
Thank you you do. I'm serious because I was fearful
and that's why I wanted to have the conversation. When
Tracy mentioned that you wanted to come back and talk
about a.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I was like, oh, yeah, this is interested too, you know. Yeah,
And It's not just me.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
It's a conversation that so many of us are interested in,
and so many older people, I think, are afraid of it.
I will tell you there is something that I understand
to be true, and you tell me if I'm right
or wrong. When you are giving information to chat, GPT,
Genesis or whatever AI you're using, I have been telling
(28:13):
people to be careful about giving those platforms your personal information.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Huh, guess what the government already has it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Isn't it possible that those platforms can share your information.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Don't share information that can cause fraud on your behalf
or fraud to.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You harmful information.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I think that the cycle of information that goes around
that's input into these machines helps the overall understanding of
how the machine processes. But there is security measures that
need to get better. Just across anything. The moment that
you use your bank card at a shell gas station,
there's fraud everywhere. You can't you know, there's always going
(28:59):
to be the negative to the positive. Yes, I think
if we focus so much on the negative, we won't
get anywhere. And our people are the ones that we
look at the fear before we look at the benefit.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, but but it is also good to to learn
about these things.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yes, so that you know how to use them properly.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, so that you don't fall into something that you're like,
Oh my god, I didn't know I was telling it
my life.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh yeah, for sure, you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And because everything can and will be used against you
in the court of law at this point.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
They just they just announced that.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But you know, I think that's why I think what
we're doing at Lemoyne College is going to be great
because the simple fact that it's a cybersecurity and there's
more people that should be in cybersecurity because it's gonna
be one of those jobs that pays a lot and
they're gonna need a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Got it and love it. Thank you so much for
coming Gerald Memphis, let us.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Know, and thank you for having me. This is great.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
I will most definitely. I love him physics. It's a
great feeling being here.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's welcome to myth Yes, yes, home to come to.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
No, for sure, I think we have some shows here
next year.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh really, Okay, wow, okay, he just gave us something
we didn't even look out for it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Look out for it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And thank you to lamaran On College for being an
amazing HBCU in our community and for all the work
that they do here that people don't talk enough about.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Now, they're doing a lot of great things and they're
on a cusp of innovation. So I'm very excited to
be partner with it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm excited too.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, yeah, So thank you again, Jack, thank you. Yeah,
it's the pulse. We always keep our fingertips on the
pulse of our community. Gerald, Keys, ladies and gentlemen. Yea,
all right, We'll see you next week, same time, same station.
God bless you have a great week.
