Want to Boost Your Stock Price? Mention "Artificial Intelligence" Over and Over Again in Earnings Call

 "Wall Street is all  bulled up on Microsoft after the company mentioned 'artificial intelligence' 50 times on its earnings call." - Yahoo Finance, April 27, 2023

Right away the stock rose. At the time that was around 9%. Today, at 302.75, it's up another 7.38%. That brings it near to its 52-week high of 303.15. And that is despite the setback in the UK for the proposed merger with Activision.

The market is agreeing with the assessments of generative AI as seminal a development in civilization as fire and the internet. 

Businesses not already exploring how it could be a game-changer in their strategies and operations are being labeled "dinos." That includes even the traditionalist field of law firms, documents Reuters Legal. I predict that prospects for assignments will demand the law firms competing for the account detail how AI will be used. That will be right up there with the issue of cybersecurity. 

How many jobs will be lost? 

Actually the more useful question is what industries will be reshaped by AI ChatGPT and its competitors? 

Software development is experiencing that, reports Insider. 'Learn to code" used to guarantee job security. No so much any more. Programmers are being laid off. Research shows that AI can code significantly faster than humans.

Communications will never be the same. Goldman Sachs sees writing, like programming, most vulnerable. That's because generative AI specializes in those kinds of capabilities. Media center Insider is already incorporating AI into its journalistic processes.

Legal, where Harvey version of AI Chatbots has a waiting list of 15,000, could finally be reconfigured for justice for all. That is, access to affordable legal representation in civil matters. Legal Services Corporation found that 92% of the people in the US still don't have that. Generative AI could change much of that. A step in the right direction, of course, had been LegalZoom.

Meanwhile, the elephant in the room is: Who should be considering a career change? Here is the article I published in O'Dwyer PR on that complex process. Another route back to some kind of financial security is for professionals to lobby for Universal Basic Income. That's a stipend governments around the world give out to those who opt not to work.
