Developments in artificial intelligence for mediators, coaches and counsellors<\/h1>\nWhat opportunities are offered by artificial intelligence to support yourself and your employees as a self-employed person?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>II AI as contact partner<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>1. introduction:<\/h3>\nArtificial intelligence is also a unique area of reflection for us self-employed people - for us as mediators, coaches and consultants<\/h3><\/h2><\/div>For the self-employed, especially for mediators, coaches and consultants, artificial intelligence is first and foremost an area for reflection.
They are neither fact machines nor decision-making bodies from the outset. Admittedly, they can be used in the same way that any instrument can be misused. But artificial intelligences are not tools in the traditional sense. They are not simply a hammer or a musical instrument.<\/p>\n
Artificial intelligences are man-made systems that have not only been developed objectively, but have also been and continue to be orientated in their mode of operation. This orientation does not end with the handover to the user. It continues through providers, platforms, business models and infrastructural embedding. Artificial intelligence rarely operates exclusively locally. As a rule, they are connected to third parties via networks, cloud services and interfaces.<\/p>\n
This is precisely why they develop their special quality as surfaces for reflection and interaction. They confront us as a counterpart, as a screen on which thinking, exploring, deciding and acting are reflected. They comment, structure, irritate, enrich and thus also control processes of professional practice.<\/p>\n
\nInterim remark:<\/strong>
This article is not aimed at IT specialists or AI enthusiasts. It is aimed at potential users who reflect on their professional activities and at least do not rule out the possibility that AI technology could support them in their work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThis opens up considerable potential for the self-employed in general, but especially for consultants, coaches and mediators who work with life, conflict and decision-making issues. Artificial intelligence can be utilised in a variety of roles:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
as contact person<\/strong>as a dialogue partner for technical, linguistic or conceptual questions, also as a foreign language assistant;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
as assistant<\/strong>which takes over recurring tasks, collects, organises and consolidates information and thus reduces workload or increases productivity;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
as agent<\/strong>which independently pursues goals, connects systems, initiates processes and prepares or implements decisions;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
as augmenteer<\/strong> (a deliberately artificial word), which integrates external knowledge spaces via RAG systems and updates them in a context-sensitive manner;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
as artefact maker<\/strong>which develops software applications and makes them usable as AI-based tools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn all these functions, artificial intelligence is becoming an ever-available companion: friendly, tireless and comparatively inexpensive. They open up opportunities for professionalisation and business development, but also bring with them new risks and dependencies.<\/p>\n
In other words: The use of AI requires a new cultural technique. It forces us to enter into a relationship with a non-living being that behaves \"like a living being\" in the interaction. Artificial intelligences affect, motivate and structure attention. They change routines, forms of communication and power relations and therefore also the field of counselling, coaching and mediation.<\/p>\n
For consultants and the self-employed, artificial intelligence is therefore less an optional additional tool than an imposition on existing routines. Their very existence forces them to position themselves. This article assumes that AI as a cultural technology of the 21st century requires a form of individual and social literacy.<\/p>\n
Another fundamental aspect: AI applications must be designed, configured and implemented. However, they are not necessarily used by the same people. Consultants can use AI for themselves or make it available to their clients. Design and utilisation fall apart.<\/p>\n<\/div>
