AI Brainstorm

After watching the documentary In the Age of AI, I realized that artificial intelligence is not just something that will affect technology in the future, but something that could directly impact my future career. As a communications major with a minor in event management, I hope to become a wedding planner or event planner one day. Before watching the documentary, I never really thought about how AI could be involved in a career that seems so personal and creative. However, it made me realize that AI will likely play a big role in how events are planned in the future.

One way AI could impact my future job is through planning tools that help organize and manage events. AI can already analyze data and make suggestions based on preferences, budgets, and trends. For example, instead of spending hours looking for the perfect venue, decorations, or catering options, AI programs might be able to generate recommendations based on what a client wants in just seconds. It could also help with scheduling, guest lists, seating charts, and timelines, which are all important parts of event planning that usually take up a lot of time.

As a college student, this also made me a little concerned about how much students are starting to rely on AI in school. It’s easy to think, “Why do I need to learn this if I can just ask ChatGPT?” While AI can definitely be a helpful tool, relying on it too much can cause people to avoid doing the actual work that helps them learn and grow. In careers like event planning, skills such as communication, organization, problem-solving, and creativity are extremely important. If students depend on AI to do everything for them now, they may struggle in future jobs that require those real-life skills and decision-making abilities that technology cannot fully replace.

It also made me think about how fast AI is developing compared to how slowly laws and regulations are being put in place. Technology is improving quickly, but there are not always clear rules about how it should be used or who is responsible when something goes wrong. This could be a problem, especially if AI is being used in serious areas like healthcare or law enforcement where mistakes could have real consequences.

Overall, AI will likely make parts of event planning faster and more efficient, especially when it comes to organization and communication and the important paperwork. However, the human aspect of the job, like creativity, emotional understanding, and personal connection, will still be extremely important. Watching the documentary made me realize that in my future career as a wedding or event planner, I will probably need to learn how to work alongside AI instead of seeing it as something that replaces the role of a planner. Just because it wont effect mt job as much, there are so many jobs that could be completely taken over by AI. Saying that the documentary made me realize that AI is not just something that will affect future generations, it is already shaping the world around us. While it has many benefits, it also comes with risks that should not be ignored. It is important for people to understand how AI works and be aware of how it might affect different parts of life as technology continues to grow.
