Introduction Artificial Intelligence has become one of the most talked-about technologies of our time.

Ask Someone for a Small Favor  Trigger the Ben Franklin Effect  It may sound counterintuitive, but asking someone for help — even a tiny favor — can make them like you more. This is called the Ben Franklin Effect. Why it works: When someone does something for you, their brain unconsciously justifies it by thinking, “I must like this person if I helped them.” Start small. Ask for something minor: advice,...
