🎉I JUST EARNED MY "AI FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES" CERTIFICATION!

I'm excited to have received my "AI For Professional Services Certification" from the AI Academy by SmarterX.

The course useful as I build my own model, called "Gain The AI Edge," to help firms understand more about the use of AI.

🟪🟩 Salesforce Cuts 4,000 Support Jobs Using AI Agents

"In a Fortune interview just two months earlier, he emphasized that AI would augment rather than replace workers, stating "the humans are not going away" and dismissing "scary narratives" about AI layoffs."

7) BOTTOM LINE
You are responsible for saying yes or no to training use on (consumer) Claude. Client confidentiality is non-negotiable, so keep sensitive work in approved enterprise environments.

6) TO DO TODAY
◽️ Check your Claude Privacy setting and make your choice.

◽️ Remind your team to do the same.

◽️ Update your firm’s AI guidance to specify which tools and tiers are approved for client matters.

5) Old chats are excluded unless you reopen them. Deleted chats are not used.

For confidential work, keep matters in enterprise channels only, such as Claude for Work or API on Bedrock/Vertex, which are outside this policy.

4) HOW TO OPT OUT
1. Open Claude

2. Profile → Settings → Privacy

3. Toggle “Help improve Claude” off

4. Accept the updated terms

Being a paid user does not exempt you. Consumer tiers still require a decision.

3) This applies to Free, Pro, Max, and Claude Code consumer tiers. Business, Gov, Education, and API use are not affected.

2) I love Claude, but I don't love that this privacy setting is turned on by default.

Unless you opt out, your future chats and code can be used to train Claude, which means Claude's database that it uses to provide AI output to anyone.

1) [AI PRIVACY - TURN THIS SETTING OFF]
This is a Claude privacy update you should not ignore.

Anthropic just changed how Claude handles your chat data.

Deadline: September 28, 2025

[Compact, Brain-Inspired AI Model Outperforming LLMs]

"The model operates through iterative refinement over short 'thinking' bursts.. determining whether to continue processing or submit final answer..near-perfect performance on path-finding in mazes, tasks conventional LLMs failed completely."

*Billion, sorry

P.S. Yes, I know there are multiple steps in and around these 2 suggestions, but this will get you started.

THE RESULT
When you get the notifications of activity from the people you have decided are the most important to you, what happens?

You get to go directly to that activity and interact with it.

That is making the most efficient and effective use of your time on LinkedIn. (Cont'd)...

That way, LinkedIn will get the hint that you want to see what they post, when they post it. You should see this activity in your notifications. It doesn't always work, but it's pretty good). (Cont'd)...

Are you following these people? If not, do. I didn't say invite them to connect. Sometimes, we need to take small steps. Sometimes we don't.

2️⃣ Next, turn on the notification bell for those who are the most important to you. (Cont'd)...

DO THESE TWO THINGS
1️⃣ What are the names you've placed on your Strategic Client Connection List? If we haven't worked together (yet) and you don't have this worksheet, then just write the names down.
(Cont'd)...

[DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON LINKEDIN]
You are busy and don't have hours (not even an hour) to spend on LinkedIn every day. That is why I want you to spend your time in the wisest way possible. (Cont'd)...

...and, yes, I am sitting on a thick cushion to get to eye level with my camera. 😊

[VIRTUAL VIDEO TIPS]
If you are on video for a meeting that you care about, make sure your camera is at eye level, not looking down or up at you.

Also, when you are talking, make eye contact with the camera lens, not your monitor. The people or person you are talking to are behind the lens.

It might need to wait until Q1 2026. 😉

3) "Benioff remains bullish on AI's current applications. At Salesforce, he reports that AI handles 30% to 50% of the company's work across functions like engineering and customer support, leading to hiring pauses in technical roles while expanding sales teams to support growing AI product demand."
