Every few decades, a technology stops being optional. Electricity. The internet. Smartphones. AI is in that category — but faster, less forgiving, and more invisible. You won’t “adopt” AI someday. You’ll wake up and realize it’s already making decisions around you, with or without your consent.
That’s why waiting to learn it isn’t neutral. It’s a decision to stay behind.

Julijana Jurak understood this. A French language professor turned Insurance/QC Division Trainer at TaskforceBPO, she didn’t step into AI because her job demanded it. She stepped in because she saw the ground shifting under everyone’s feet.

You too can do it! Register for the AIatWork Event on 3th of November!

Why AI, Why Now?

I chose to start learning AI now because the field is evolving rapidly, and I want to be at the forefront. That curiosity, combined with my desire to help others understand and grow, pushed me to dive in immediately rather than wait. Getting involved early allows me to build a solid foundation and gain the knowledge and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to the future of this technology.”
This isn’t “motivation.” It’s strategy. The longer you wait, the less time you have to build fluency before fluency becomes the price of entry.

First Wins with AI

I’ve started using AI to organize my time and daily tasks, which helps me stay productive and work more efficiently. I haven’t used it at work yet, but I’m excited to find ways to apply it professionally. The process has been effective, and I’m confident AI will soon become a daily tool for everyone to boost productivity both personally and professionally.”
It starts small. Organizing time. Automating tasks. Not glamorous, but this is how leverage builds.

Future AI Goal
I’d love to use AI to turn complex topics into clear, easy-to-follow learning experiences that adapt to each person’s pace.”
This isn’t just a personal dream — it’s the direction of education itself. Static classrooms are designed for the past. Adaptive, AI-driven learning is the upgrade humans have been waiting centuries for.

What People Get Wrong

Many people think AI can do everything on its own, but the truth is it’s only as good as the data and guidance it gets.”
AI isn’t a brain. It’s scaffolding. If you treat it like an autopilot, it crashes. If you treat it like a co-pilot, it scales what you can do.

A Moment of Play

I once asked AI to describe the cities of 2050 as if Yoda were explaining them. The vision was so vivid and creative, like seeing the future through a Jedi’s eyes.”
Play isn’t a distraction. It’s practice. It’s how people build intuition with new tools before the stakes get high.

Daily Advice

I’d want AI to remind me every day to focus on what truly matters, learning something new, helping others, or improving my daily routines because even a small daily nudge can make a big difference over time.”
AI isn’t just about moonshots. It’s about micro-habits. A thousand nudges in the right direction are worth more than one “big disruption.”

Her AIatWork Experience

AIatWork has been highly effective, offering valuable knowledge and insights. I’m very satisfied with the instructors, topics, and overall organization.”

Julijana’s story proves something simple: AI isn’t waiting for the experts. It’s waiting for the people bold enough to start.
She didn’t wait for perfect timing. She didn’t need a technical background. She began while it’s still chaotic, imperfect, and unfinished — which is exactly why it matters.
If you’re waiting until AI feels safe, you’ve already lost time. The only rational move is to start now, before “someday” turns into “too late.”
