PSASA Virtual Chapter Meeting, Tuesday 10 September 2024
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves in public speaking, offering tools to enhance communication and streamline your business. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, AI can help you grow. In the recent virtual chapter meeting, Jabu Zwane and Johan Steyn shared insights on using AI to boost speaking careers.
Here’s how you can apply their key points.
Embracing AI
Jabu sees AI as a tool to improve, not replace, public speaking. He introduced Lil Miquela, a virtual influencer, to show how AI is transforming content creation and audience engagement. By embracing AI, you can focus more on connecting with your audience.
How GPTs are transforming public speaking
Jabu highlighted how GPTs can:
– Transcribe and summarize speeches, saving time and keeping content engaging.
– Analyse speech transcripts to improve clarity and impact.
– Help create authentic social media content faster, while maintaining your voice.
The future of AI in public speaking
To stay ahead, Jabu advises:
– Adopting AI tools for productivity and creativity.
– Staying updated on AI advancements to remain competitive
Custom GPTs for your business
Jabu also shared how custom GPTs can meet specific needs, such as analysing customer service calls. For example, you can create a GPT to analyse your speeches and provide feedback on structure and audience engagement.
AI’s role in communication
Johan reminds us that while AI can organize and brainstorm, it can’t replace your authentic voice. He emphasizes that AI should enhance your message, not replace it.
The heart of public speaking
Storytelling, as Johan notes, has been a crucial part of human connection for thousands of years. Even with AI, personal stories and genuine connection remain vital.
The authentic voice
AI can’t replicate the human touch. Johan advises speakers to use AI to enhance communication but always stay true to themselves. Personal experiences resonate more with audiences than AI-generated content.
