AI Advisory

Artificial intelligence is not just another wave of technology. It represents a structural shift in how value is created in the economy. And to understand why this matters, you have to start with a simple premise: for the first time at scale, machines are beginning to replicate aspects of human cognition.
Not perfectly. Not completely. But enough to materially change how work gets done.

Welcome to the show. Today we are going to talk about artificial intelligence in a way that most conversations do not. This is not an episode about futuristic speculation, hype cycles, or tools you should rush to buy. This is an episode about AI advisory. What it really means. Why most organizations misunderstand it. And how leaders should actually think about artificial intelligence if they want durable advantage rather than expensive experiments.

If you’ve ever ended your workday wondering where all your time went, you’re not alone.
In nearly every business or career, a small set of repetitive, low-value tasks drains the majority of our productive hours. This is the Pareto Principle in action: 20% of your workload consumes 80% of your energy.
The good news? With AI, you can identify and automate that 20%—freeing up hours each week for higher-value work that actually moves the needle.

Welcome to AI Advisory — the podcast and publication dedicated to keeping you ahead in the age of artificial intelligence. I’m your host, David Peterson, and today we’re exploring one of my favorite topics: how to use AI in your personal life.
Most people still think of AI as a workplace tool. Something for data scientists, corporate strategists, or maybe a productivity booster for busy executives. But here’s what often gets overlooked: some of the most life-changing applications of AI happen outside of work. In fact, the ways AI can help you in your personal life are often easier to start, faster to benefit from, and in many cases, more fun.

AI is often sold as a time-saver — and it’s true. With the right tools, you can automate repetitive tasks, draft faster, analyze data in minutes, and respond to customers at scale. But here’s the thing: simply saving time doesn’t guarantee you’ll grow your business, increase profits, or hit your next career milestone.
The real differentiator isn’t how much time AI gives you back — it’s how you reinvest that time. This is what I call the AI Time Dividend. Just like a financial dividend can be spent or reinvested, the hours AI frees up can either disappear into busywork… or be strategically used to accelerate results.

Artificial intelligence has moved past the novelty stage. Chatbots, generative content, and automation tools are no longer just “cool tech” — they’re quickly becoming baseline expectations in competitive industries. But for many businesses, AI adoption is still stuck in experimentation mode. They try tools, dabble with prompts, maybe even run a pilot project — but struggle to translate that into measurable returns.
If you want AI to pay off in productivity, customer experience, and profitability, the key is shifting from one-off experiments to a deliberate, ROI-focused AI strategy. Here’s how to bridge the gap.

The job search process has changed more in the last two years than in the previous twenty.If you’re still applying the old-fashioned way—sending out the same resume, writing every cover letter from scratch, and spending hours hunting for roles—you’re already behind the curve.
Artificial Intelligence is now one of the most powerful tools in a job seeker’s arsenal. Used correctly, it can cut your search time in half, sharpen your applications, and even prep you for interviews better than any career book ever could.
Here’s your playbook for using AI to go from “just another applicant” to “top contender.”

Today’s episode we’re exploring the world of AI-generated images: how tools like Midjourney, DALL·E, and others are transforming the way we create visuals for work, education, and creative projects.

In this episode, we’re exploring AI in education — specifically, how teachers are using it to personalize learning in ways that used to take hours, sometimes days, of planning. We’ll look at the latest AI integrations in classroom tools, break down a step-by-step method for creating custom quizzes and study guides in seconds, and share the story of a high school teacher who used AI to boost student engagement without increasing their workload.

in this episode, we’re exploring a concept that helps you predict what’s going to last — not just in books and technologies, but in habits, institutions, and even personal decisions.
It’s called the Lindy Effect — and it offers a surprising insight:
The longer something has survived, the longer it’s likely to keep surviving.
Let’s get smarter.
What Is the Lindy Effect?
The Lindy Effect comes from a blend of observation and mathematics. The core principle is this:
For non-perishable things — like books, ideas, or technologies — their future life expectancy is proportional to their current age.
