Everyone is talking about AI—but are you actually getting better at using it?
In this mailbag episode of DM Me with Doug Melville, Doug answers a listener who wants to improve their AI skills but doesn’t know where to start. His answer: create your own AI Fingerprint.
An AI Fingerprint is the unique process you develop for using AI to think, research, create and make decisions. Doug breaks down how to build yours—from defining the problem and choosing the right AI platform, to refining prompts, comparing outputs across different models and adding the one ingredient AI can’t replicate: your own judgment, experience and point of view.
You don’t need to become an AI expert. But in a workplace increasingly shaped by AI, you do need to understand how you work with it.
AI literacy may soon matter as much as knowing how to use email, PowerPoint or Google - and the leaders who develop their own process now could have an advantage later.
