Getting Ahead of the AI Hype |

AI Is Here. But So Are You!
We know the AI conversation is swirling around us, and it can feel intimidating. But here’s the thing: AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to transform our roles and help us shine even brighter. So next time someone drops the “AI is going to replace you” line, here’s how to own that conversation:
1. Highlight Your Strategic Value
When someone suggests AI might replace your role, pivot the conversation. Talk about how you manage priorities, build relationships, and drive results. Detail the areas of your role that AI can not replicate.
2. Show You’re Already Using AI
Don’t let them think you’re stuck in the past. Share how you’re already using AI tools. Maybe you’ve got an app for scheduling, a smart inbox filter, or a system for automating simple reports. This shows you’re not afraid of change; you’re embracing it.
3. Focus on Human Skills
Remind them that AI can’t build trust with an Executive, navigate tricky dynamics, or anticipate needs before they’re even voiced. That’s your impact. AI can help with the tasks, but you bring the heart and the brainpower that makes it all work.
4. Flip the Script to Opportunity
When AI comes up, reframe the conversation. Say: “AI is freeing me up from the busywork so I can focus on the things like supporting our Executive to drive the business forward.” That’s getting ahead of the conversation and showing you’re future-ready.

In this article, we’ll walk through what getting ahead of the “AI is going to replace you” conversation might look like, how you can respond confidently, and how we can all prepare ourselves for the future without panicking. Because, spoiler alert, the future of our work is evolving, but it’s not disappearing.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, we, as EAs, often find ourselves juggling a growing list of responsibilities. It can be overwhelming, but the good news is that harnessing the power of ChatGPT for Executive Assistants in 2025 offers an incredible opportunity to streamline how we work.

You Can Book Me

Your challenge this week? If you haven’t picked an AI tool or played around with ChatGPT yet, now’s the time to get curious. Dive in, experiment, and see how it could make your day-to-day easier.
Here’s what to include:
- Pick a Tool: Choose one AI tool, maybe ChatGPT or another assistant-friendly app, that piques your interest.
- Try It Out: Use it for something simple: drafting an email, summarizing a document, brainstorming ideas, or automating a small task.
- Reflect: What worked well? What surprised you? Where could it save you time in your day-to-day work?
- Share: Note one key takeaway or ‘aha!’ moment about how AI could support you.
📌 Stretch Target: Schedule 15 minutes with your Executive to share what you’ve learned. Show them how you’re exploring AI to support their goals, and how it could benefit the team too. Share your wins in the EA Campus Community so we can celebrate them with you and inspire others to do the same.
