Is this a real video? Have I already
0:01
been fired? Hi, my name is Jared.
0:03
Welcome to Black Excellence, where we
0:05
celebrate all the ways black people
0:08
pursue excellence.
0:12
No, I haven't been fired, but artificial
0:14
intelligence is coming for your job. But
0:16
concerns are growing about AI replacing
0:19
some human workers. How soon could we
0:21
see AI job losses? And is the government
0:24
ready to respond? to the CEO of Amazon
0:27
telling the company's employees that
0:29
some of their jobs will be replaced by
0:31
AI. But what if you don't have to stick
0:33
around until they're giving out those
0:35
pink slips? In fact, AI can help you
0:37
ditch your 9 to5 before your 9 to5
0:40
ditches you. In this video, we'll talk
0:42
about five ways you can actually take
0:43
advantage of AI instead of fearing it.
0:46
If you've ever thought about starting
0:47
your own business or just making some
0:49
extra money on the side, well, you're
0:51
not alone. A 2023 LinkedIn workforce
0:53
report revealed that over 61% of black
0:56
professionals are actively considering
0:59
entrepreneurship. More than any other
1:01
racial group, probably because we get
1:03
fired first before any other racial
1:05
group. And now, seemingly out of
1:07
nowhere, artificial intelligence has
1:09
shown up like a storm. Headlines say
1:11
it's stealing our jobs, automating work,
1:14
and replacing humans. Well, what if AI
1:16
isn't the end of our career path, but
1:18
the beginning of our liberation? Here is
1:21
how AI can be your biggest weapon.
1:23
First, AI can be your first employee.
1:26
Let's start with the facts. According to
1:28
McKenzie and Company, automation is
1:30
expected to disproportionately impact
1:33
black workers who are 14% more likely to
1:36
be employed in roles most vulnerable to
1:38
AI. That's the bad news. The good news,
1:41
that same AI that's replacing
1:44
traditional jobs is also making it
1:46
easier than ever to start your own
1:47
business completely solo. AI tools like
1:50
Chat GBT, Claude, and Jasper can write
1:53
emails, blog posts, social media
1:56
captions, business plans, and sales
1:58
pitches better and faster than any
2:00
person you know. Need a logo? Use Luca
2:03
or Brandmark. Need a video? Try Pictory
2:06
or Runway. Actually, I just tried VO3,
2:10
which you can use for a month for free,
2:12
and that software is incredible. Need a
2:14
website? Tools like Durable can build a
2:16
landing page in 30 seconds. And these
2:18
aren't fancy features. These are free
2:20
labor that would have cost you thousands
2:22
5 years ago. AI can do an incredible
2:24
amount of research for you if you have a
2:26
business idea and you want to test it
2:28
out. You can also create a landing page
2:30
using AI and do quick testing to see if
2:33
the market is even there for your
2:35
business. This process alone would have
2:37
taken you weeks and thousands of
2:38
dollars. Or you would have had to learn
2:40
website design and have some basic
2:42
knowledge about marketing. You no longer
2:44
need a 10-person marketing team or
2:46
$50,000 in capital to start anymore. AI
2:49
lets you launch a business, build a
2:51
brand, and reach customers before you
2:53
even quit your day job. It's like having
2:55
a digital assistant who never ever
2:57
sleeps. I personally use AI to help me
3:00
do research, and it's been a gamecher
3:02
when it comes to time management. Work
3:03
that used to take me at least 5 to 8
3:05
hours a week can now be completed in a
3:07
matter of an hour or less. Of course,
3:09
these types of tools are more helpful to
3:11
those who already have a business idea,
3:13
a product, or a service and just need a
3:16
little extra assistance to help them
3:17
launch. But what if you don't have any
3:19
idea of what type of business to even
3:21
start? Well, that's where point number
3:23
two comes in. AI can even help you
3:25
brainstorm some business ideas. Let's
3:27
say you love the field of beauty or
3:30
camping or child development, but you're
3:32
not sure of what type of business you
3:34
can even start. Well, head straight to a
3:36
AI company like ChatGBT or Gemini, which
3:38
is Google's platform, and let the
3:40
machines do some brainstorming for you.
3:42
You want to start a blackowned wellness
3:44
brand, ask AI, what are underserved
3:46
markets in black wellness, and let it
3:49
help you identify trends, gaps, and
3:51
opportunities. It can pull from your
3:53
main competition in the market, compare
3:55
business styles, and analyze other
3:57
factors for you. It can tell you what
3:59
colors are best to use, what companies
4:01
would be best for outsourcing. It could
4:03
tell you what demographic to go after,
4:05
whether this company would be better for
4:07
women or men. It can even write you up a
4:09
basic or complicated business plan that
4:12
you can modify to fit your needs. I'm
4:14
telling you right now, I'm super
4:15
passionate about this. If you're not on
4:18
chat GPT already or Gemini, which is
4:21
Google's, you are already behind. Get
4:23
out there, start using these programs
4:25
right now. And number three, AI can even
4:27
help you monetize what you already know.
4:29
One of the biggest myths in our
4:30
community is that we have to get another
4:33
degree or license to be successful.
4:35
Chances are you already know a lot. Now,
4:37
just imagine taking that informal
4:39
expertise and turning it into a physical
4:42
product, a course, a service, a podcast,
4:45
or a digital product, and letting AI
4:47
package and promote it. Crazy, right?
4:49
Your product doesn't even have to be in
4:51
the tech field at all. That's just
4:53
something a lot of people assume when we
4:54
talk about using AI or other tech to
4:57
launch a business. If you are a great
4:58
baker, you can turn that into a business
5:01
with the help of AI. It can design a
5:03
logo for you, create a website, help you
5:05
with social media, and also create other
5:08
marketing material. Tools again like
5:10
chat GBT can outline entire curriculums
5:14
for you. Platforms like Teachable or
5:16
Gumroad, yeah, you heard that right,
5:18
Gumroad, let you upload it. I mean, sit
5:20
down right now, do some self-reflection,
5:22
and see what skills or knowledge you
5:24
already have and how that can be a money
5:27
maker. If you're not sure, AI again can
5:30
help you with brainstorming, too. And
5:31
number four, AI can teach you and your
5:34
kids the skills of the future for free.
5:36
Let's be honest, black people have
5:38
always been early adopters of
5:40
technology. We turned Twitter into black
5:42
Twitter and created viral challenges
5:44
before Tik Tok even had a name. But when
5:47
it comes to AI literacy, it feels like
5:49
we're starting to run a little behind.
5:51
Whether you want to learn prompt
5:52
engineering, AI automation, or machine
5:54
learning, there are free tools and
5:56
courses everywhere like Google's AI
5:59
LearnHub and Open AI tutorials. Imagine
6:02
a world where you and your kids both
6:04
learn AI basics at the same time. Number
6:07
five, AI can be your business. If you
6:09
learn AI well enough, that can be your
6:12
business. There will be a portion of
6:13
business owners that will never learn AI
6:16
or will be too busy to even use AI. And
6:19
that's when you can come in. Remember
6:21
when social media became big and a ton
6:23
of social media management companies
6:24
started popping up all over the place.
6:26
The same type of businesses now will be
6:29
popping up too. But this time it will be
6:30
to do the marketing, accounting, product
6:32
management, you name it, using AI. If
6:35
you had started a social media
6:37
management company, maybe you could take
6:38
on a few clients on your own since
6:40
managing social media posts was
6:42
timeconuming. Now you'll be running an
6:44
AI company with little virtual robots
6:47
doing the work for you. you'll just be
6:49
supervising and overlooking the work
6:50
instead of spending hours writing or
6:52
editing videos or doing research. Let's
6:55
be honest, AI is replacing jobs. Yes,
6:58
it's being used by big corporations to
7:00
cut corners and reduce headcount. And
7:02
yes, above any other community, the
7:04
black community must stay alert and
7:07
protect ourselves from being overlooked
7:08
in this new revolution. But let's also
7:11
be clear. This is the first time in
7:13
history where billiondoll tools are
7:15
available to you for free for the most
7:18
part or for very little. AI is not going
7:20
to hand you freedom, but it will remove
7:22
any excuse to not reach for it. And
7:25
that's all I have for this video. I
7:26
really appreciate all you guys who made
7:28
it to the end. Please like and
7:30

7:31
algorithm. And I'll catch you guys on
7:33
the next one.
