Here’s Who Can See Your Chat History When You Talk to Each AI
While AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini can be helpful, they’re also potential privacy minefields.
Most AI assistants save a complete record of your conversations, making them easily visible to anyone with access to your devices. Those conversations are also stored online, often indefinitely, so they could be exposed due to bugs or security breaches. In some cases, AI providers can even send your chats along to human reviewers.
Where the Human Brain (Still) Has an Edge Over AI
In 1928, the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming returned from a two-week vacation and realized he had made a significant oversight. In his haste to leave for his holiday, he had left a messy pile of petri dishes on his workstation. As he began to dispose of the dishes, something unusual caught his eye: a mold had formed around the bacteria in one of the petri dishes. Upon closer examination, Fleming made a startling discovery. The mold wasn’t just growing—it was actively inhibiting the spread of the bacteria.
Why Delegating Tasks Is So Hard—and How To Get Better at It
At least half of the people I coach identify delegation as an area that they’d like to improve. Delegating can be a real challenge because—let’s face it—it’s tough to let go of control. Many of us believe that if we want something done right, we have to do it ourselves. Plus, it takes effort to explain the task, trust someone else to do it, and then follow up. Sometimes, it feels like it’s just easier to do it ourselves rather than invest the time in teaching someone else.
Emotional Intelligence is More Important Than Ever in the Age of AI
While most of us accept that artificial intelligence isn’t going to take over the world just yet, there’s a growing recognition that businesses and their employees are going to have to adapt their skills pretty swiftly. According to the 2024 Global CEO Survey from consulting firm PwC, seven out of 10 CEOs believe that AI will significantly change the way their company creates, delivers, and captures value over the next three years. On the plus side, 41% believe it will increase revenue.
Success Isn't About Having the Best or Most Original Idea — It's About Resilience. Here's How to Build It.
My company, Jotform, was not an overnight success. I didn't wake up one day to find myself the darling of TechCrunch or attract massive funding rounds from VCs ravenous to get in on the form-building action. I probably don't have to tell you that a form-builder is not the world's sexiest basis for a startup. But that doesn't bother me one bit. Jotform became successful not because it's flashy, but because our products work.

Warren Buffett Believes 3 Decisions in Life Separate Those Who Succeed From Those Who Fail
Warren Buffett is arguably the greatest investor who ever walked the planet. But his life and business lessons outside of his investing prowess have had an equally profound effect on people.
Some of Buffett's musings are pure genius -- legendary (and comical) quotes that make your wheels turn as you ponder the possibilities. Remember this?
4 Typical Asian Behaviors That are Misinterpreted: A Personal Story
If I ask you to describe typical traits of Asian people, you probably will say they're quiet and lacking self-promotion, not assertive and very indirect in communication. Not surprisingly, the opposite of all these traits is far more welcomed in the US. Therefore Asians can be perceived as lacking leadership potential and many of us Asian people experience the "bamboo ceiling" in corporate America.
As the East and West tension continues to rise, I hope by revealing the nuances in Asian culture through a deep dive into some traditional deep-grained Chinese values can help both parties build better understanding and appreciation towards one another, and also help Asian people who live in the US adapt to the US cultural norm more effectively.
