We rely on software every day to boost productivity, but have you ever wondered what’s happening behind the scenes?

The rise of Shadow AI—AI integrated into software without our full awareness—raises questions we all need to consider.

This week I released the 100th episode of the Hourly to Exit podcast!

When I started the podcast two years ago, I had the lofty ambition to provide resources that will serve you on the entire journey from the unscalable hours-based business to one that is scalable and, hopefully, someday saleable.

There is a lot of chatter about copyright bandits 🦸🏽‍♀️ stealing entire websites. Sure, it does happen. As does getting struck by lightning.

The far greater threat to your expertise—YOU.

Does the “rise of AI assistants” sound like something out of a sci-fi movie --“The Terminator”, maybe? For better and worse, AI assistants are increasingly impacting every aspect of lives and businesses.

Recently, I was invited to weigh in on a LinkedIn post about AI. The question was whether using AI to create content counts as plagiarism if you don’t credit the AI.

How about a little AI issue-spotting exercise? If you wonder what lawyers do all day, this is it. 😊

“Issue spotting” means identifying legal issues within a factual scenario or a set of circumstances.

Is AI Taking Over Your Business?

Not…yet. But the time for keeping your head buried in the sand (which was my original plan😅) is past.

If there is only one thing you’ve learned from me, I hope it is knowing that signed agreements with your clients and your contractors are essential to protecting your IP and expertise.
