I make my living from prepping people for public speaking, so these days I get asked a lot how AI is affecting the public speaking game. You can use AI to design your slides, to help you layout your speech, etc. People ask, “Is there any room left for humans?”
Here’s what I say:
AI has taken over, and made cheaper and more accessible, many of the skills of presenting well. However, there is one thing it has not been able to touch: The ability to quell the very human panic that comes with speaking in front of others.
Which means that as more AI gets pumped into the presentation world, that skill becomes more valuable.
