AI is taking the world by storm, and lots of Gen Z are concerned about future careers—can AI do everything for us? The most important thing to keep in mind when worrying about the future is understanding that, rather than ‘taking over the world’, AI is actually here to assist and benefit us in a number of ways. So, if you’re a stressed out Gen Z, read on to learn 7 ways AI can be used to your advantage:
1. Chatbots
Imagine having a friend that knows the answer to everything, from the most complex topics to the most basic questions, like what you should have for dinner tonight. Well, meet Gen Z’s best friend—AI chatbots! An easily accessible resource that can use voice search and will explain things to you any way you need, whether you’re a detail-oriented person or want the simplest response possible. You can even have conversations with chatbots, so if you’re feeling bored, you know who you can message.
2. Resumé enhancement and interview preparation
Writing a resumé and don’t know where to begin? There are many AI tools available that can help you take your experience and enhance it in the best way possible. What’s more, AI can also suggest activities or extracurriculars to pursue that would benefit you in getting into your dream university or dream career. If you got the interview with your stellar resumé, check out AI resources again for coaching tools to help you practice and boost your confidence.
3. Content generation and social listening
Are you on your way to become the next big influencer? Look no further than AI to be your business partner. AI can help with content generation, from captions to ideas of what to post, and can even complete what’s called ‘social listening’. Social listening is the process of gathering data from various social media sources that will discover consumer insights and monitor your online reputation. This can help take your account to the next level by understanding what people want to see and what will be effective.
4. Study guides
If your finals are steadily approaching and you’re stressed about how to study, use Gen Z’s new favorite study technique. Some AI tools have the ability to create personalized study guides based on subject and student strengths and weaknesses. This can help you prepare in the most efficient way possible and have you ready to ace your exam in no time!
5. Hyper-personalization
You know those coupons you get sent for your favorite drink that have you wondering how they know you so well? That’s all thanks to AI hyper-personalization and predictive analytics. Many brands use AI to give customer-specific content so you can get the most out of your experience with the company. This personalization allows brands to engage with you and other customers in meaningful ways that will deepen brand-to-customer relationships, and get you a discounted item that you’ll love! Use these coupons and continue to engage with brands to get the most out of your personalizations.
6. Writing tools
If you finished your paper but you’re not sure if it flows well or if you used proper grammar, AI has many writing tools available to help you polish it up. Once you run your essay through AI, you’ll have a much cleaner paper with less errors and more effective communication. You don’t have to stop at papers though, check your blog posts and Instagram captions to see how they sound.
7. Financial literacy
Most Gen Zers don’t know where to begin when it comes to finance and having financial literacy. Many banks are adding AI features to their apps that can provide personal guidance on how to save money, assess spending habits, alert when you’re close to overdraft, or even automatically save money for you when your paycheck comes in. AI can be very helpful when it comes to reaching your financial goals and learning everything you need to know about finances.
