#50 My new AI "Privacy with Play" approach

Happy Friday Reader! Last week I caught myself doing something that would have made my privacy-conscious German self from five years ago cringe—I asked ChatGPT to analyze my entire LinkedIn profile, name and all, without a second thought. And I ended up opening a can of worms… Every privacy guide starts with, “DO NOT share personal data like names with AI!” Oops, too late, I thought. Growing up in Germany, where data privacy is as sacred as punctuality and order, I’ve lost count of the days...

Happy Friday Reader! Have you ever used an AI tool that seemed to do all the hard work for you — reading, summarizing, simplifying, and delivering information instantly — yet found yourself wondering: Am I really learning deeply, or just skimming the surface? Last week, I got swept up in the buzz around NotebookLM — an AI tool everyone on LinkedIn was raving about. You know that moment when everyone’s calling something a “game-changer”? (Yes, I know how overused that is!) Curiosity got the...

A Gecko Mascot

Happy Saturday Reader! I’m in full bloom with my Bitkom masterclass (that’s also why I’m writing you on Saturday). During our live Play Session, we experimented with all the latest storytelling AI tools — bringing ideas to life in a fun way. Just Because We Can, Doesn’t Mean We Should While playing around with HeyGen — an AI tool that lets you build a digital twin of yourself in just two minutes — I had one of those “Aha!” moments: Just because we can do something with AI, doesn’t necessarily...

Happy Friday Reader! I just finished recording and editing five modules for my Bitkom Masterclass in September, and let me tell you — I'm so ready for a break. The last few days were intense. Tella and ChatGPT were my best AI friends, but even with their help, my Oura ring was like, "Simone, seriously, take a break." So, I'm listening to it. This weekend, I'm shutting down all work-related activities, spending time with friends and family, and having a glass 🍷(or two!!) after a "sober,...

My one word: Visionary

Happy Friday Reader! Our family has a fun tradition at dinner, where we all share the best and worst parts of our day. We call it “roses and thorns.” It’s a special time when we talk, laugh, and connect. This week, when it was my turn, I shared something a little different. I told my family I’ve been super busy finishing my masterclass curriculum for the Future-Ready Woman Cohort 4 in September, and I hardly have time for anything else. On the one hand, it’s much work because each masterclass...

Happy Friday Reader! I returned to LA after a whirlwind four-week work-and-travel trip across Europe, and being back has given me a lot to think about. Living in an AI bubble where everyone is constantly experimenting with new technologies, it's easy to forget that only some people are on the same page. But stepping out of this bubble and speaking to people with different backgrounds reminded me of just how different things are for many women. "Some women outside my tech bubble can't even say...

Happy Friday Reader! Last week, my daughter handed me a handwritten note that took me straight back to my childhood. She showed me a creative project filled with misspelled words and proudly exclaimed, "Look what I made, Mama!" It made me reflect on how different her world is from the one I grew up in. In a world increasingly dominated by AI, is perfect spelling as critical as I once believed? What do you think? As a mom of two daughters, I constantly straddle the line between tradition and...

Happy Friday Reader! Omg, I fell asleep for a second and woke up in the future: OpenAI just announced their new ChatGPT-4o model, and I have good and bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first? Let's start with the good: you can enjoy an extra cocktail each month because you no longer need to pay the $20 fee to be in the "cool" ChatGPT-4 club. Cheers to that! 🍹 The bad news is that now you have to switch into play mode, and you no longer have excuses for telling me that you don't...

Happy Friday Reader! I did it! I finally announced my partnership with Bitkom - a huge milestone for me, not only for my business but also for women in Germany. It marks the launch of the first official German Digital Fluency management course and certification aimed at accelerating the careers of even more women. I also want to thank you for all the lovely messages I received and to all the beta testers who signed up following my last newsletter about the free 5-day mail course & index,...

Happy Wednesday Reader! Today, I'm back with a bit of surprise. I'm launching my free 5-day email course called "Digital Fluency Bytes." It's a Quickstarter and Self-Assessment tool that will give you your personal Digital Fluency Index. That's why I've been a bit quieter over the past few weeks because I've been diligently working on the course. Next week, I'm launching it, specifically looking for women in my network to be the first to test it. If you're interested in joining this selected...
