AI-CYA: the newsletter

AI-CYA stands for AI: Cover Your Ass. I say it with a wink. The work behind it is serious. Every week, one idea, one tool and one action to protect yourself and your business as AI changes work, and come out ahead.

What is in each issue

  1. The idea. One thing changing at work because of AI, or one thing that holds up regardless.
  2. The tool. A checklist, template or prompt you can copy and use the same day.
  3. The action. One thing to do before the next issue, written as a command.
  4. One question. Reply and I read it.

Six things it covers

  • AI and automation that hold up under an auditor, a Board or a regulator
  • Getting real value from the software you already pay for
  • A workforce that can use the tools, and leaders who can run them
  • Skills that are hard to automate away
  • A career that can take a hit
  • Money set up so a job change is a decision, not an emergency

AI-CYA is a framework developed and owned by Jacob Pearson, management consulting. Read about the practice at jacob-pearson.com.

Jacob Pearson provides management consulting and training on the operations of organizations: people, process, software and AI. He is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, CPA firm or law firm. Nothing on this site or in any proposal, deck, report, dashboard, newsletter or course is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice; an offer or solicitation of securities; a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, fund interest or asset; a valuation or fairness opinion; or an audit, review or attest opinion. No fee is contingent on a transaction, a capital raise or a valuation; any variable fee is tied only to operating value measured under a written attribution rule. Where Jacob has an interest in a product or service he discusses, he says so in writing. Targets and measured results are not guarantees. Talk to your own counsel, CPA and licensed adviser about legal, tax, accounting and investment matters.
