What is an AI skill? Here's the simplest way to think about it

Pete Cooper defines an AI skill as a repeatable capability that gives a computer leverage over a recurring task. His examples include generating meeting minutes, writing proposals and analysing data with a language model instead of assigning the work as a full-time manual process.

The explanation uses “superpower” as a simple metaphor, but the underlying point is operational: a well-defined task can be packaged into a reusable AI-assisted workflow. Cooper argues that businesses adopting such capabilities may become more efficient. The video describes the concept at a high level, not a promise about every use case.
