AI and the future of work

We are investigating AI and its impact on the future of work, reading interesting articles and following debates.

Here we decided to ask Chat GPT to write few lines for us about “AI and the future of work”. Here what came out from the GPT:

“AI is already having a significant impact on the future of work, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years. Here are some of the ways AI is likely to impact the future of work:

  1. Automation: AI is increasingly being used to automate repetitive and routine tasks. This can free up human workers to focus on more complex and creative tasks.

  2. Augmentation: AI can also be used to augment human workers, providing them with additional tools and resources to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively.

  3. New job roles: As AI technology continues to advance, new job roles will be created that require specific skills and knowledge related to AI development, management, and maintenance.

  4. Improved productivity: AI can help companies improve productivity by providing real-time data analysis and insights, identifying areas where processes can be streamlined, and optimizing workflows.

  5. Changing skill requirements: With the increasing use of AI in the workplace, there will be a growing demand for workers with skills in areas such as data analysis, machine learning, and programming.

  6. Job displacement: While AI is likely to create new job roles, it may also lead to job displacement as some tasks become automated. This will require companies to provide retraining and upskilling opportunities for affected workers.

Overall, AI is likely to have a significant impact on the future of work, and companies that are able to adapt and leverage this technology effectively are likely to be more successful in the long run.”

“Here’s the problem - says Melissa Heikkilä in this MIT Technology Review’s article - the technology is simply not ready to be used like this at this scale. AI language models are often presenting falsehoods as facts. They are excellent at predicting the next word in a sentence, but they have no knowledge of what the sentence actually means.”

Together with the lists GPT usually produces, we would like to share some interesting articles connected to the future of AI & work.

“As Artificial intelligence is ready to perform at scale, it’s time to reflect on how we will adapt to the change”, says Cenk Sidar in a recent Forbes article.

“While no one knows how artificial intelligence impacts the future of work, we can all agree on one thing: AI is one of the world's most essential technologies today” is the starting point of AIBees reflections.

“As this report documents, the labor market impacts of technologies like AI and robotics are taking years to unfold. But we have no time to spare in preparing for them” finally declares the MIT Task Force for the future of work.

Let’s hurry up, the future of work is already here.
