How to Break into AI Roles Without Being Technical | Erin Ashton - AI Enablement Lead, EY

<p>You don't need to be technical to break into AI. But you do need to understand what makes you irreplaceable.</p><p></p><p>This episode is for every woman who's been applying for AI roles and hearing crickets. For every woman who thinks she's too far behind, or not technical enough, or doesn't have the right experience.</p><p></p><p>Georgie and Lou sit down with Erin Ashton, AI Enablement Lead at EY, whose background is organisational psychology, not code. Erin has spent her career solving messy people problems. And it turns out that's exactly what AI needs right now.</p><p></p><p>This conversation is about why bad AI output is the result of human judgment added too late. It's about why organisations can't train their way into a new way of working. It's about the three layers of AI roles, and why the translator layer is where the real opportunity sits. And it's about why the women who feel most uncomfortable right now are actually the ones paying attention.</p><p></p><p>If you've been waiting to feel ready before you start, this episode is your permission to begin messy.</p><p></p><p>—————</p><p>✨Georgie's 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator ✨</p><p>Learn more here 👉 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves" target="_blank">https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves</a></p><p>📚 The Bold Move: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theboldmovebook.com" target="_blank">https://www.theboldmovebook.com</a></p><p>—————</p><p>Connect with Georgie:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/</a></p><p>🟪 Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard" target="_blank">http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard</a></p><p>♦️ Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.georgiehubbard.com" target="_blank">https://www.georgiehubbard.com</a></p><p>—————</p><p>Connect with Lou Compagnone:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/</a></p><p>—————</p><p>Connect with Erin Ashton:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/efogg/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/efogg/</a></p><p>—————</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>02:21 From organisational psychology to leading AI enablement at EY</p><p>03:40 From "AI is replacing me" to "AI is empowering me"</p><p>06:22 Eight years of generative AI experience: what companies are getting wrong</p><p>10:26 Don't make AI the skill you're good at.
