AI and Automation: The future of work
Not that long ago, I’ve already posted an article about how many aren’t utilising AI tools to their full potential and treating things which could transform their work process as just toys. When it specifically comes to how AI and automation will change work, we must start by looking at how it has already changed work.
Google, for example, has integrated AI into many of its algorithms to help with tasks such as image and speech recognition. This has allowed the company to process large amounts of data much more efficiently and accurately. Similarly, scientific research labs are using AI to analyze large amounts of data, such as genomic data, to make new discoveries and develop new treatments.
This integration of AI into the workplace has brought on massive efficiency boosts, and this trend is rapidly expanding. More and more businesses are using these tools to improve their work processes, and this includes smaller businesses as well. This efficiency doesn’t come without a potential risk though, as AI systems can handle large data sets at scale, we can’t exactly check what they are always doing with that data.
The use of AI tools like ChatGPT and midJourney are already becoming a part of many people’s work lives. A friend of mine who uses ChatGPT for her job has seen a significant increase in her productivity and has received a lot of praise from her colleagues. And this is just the beginning. Tools like GPTBoss.com are now available, which essentially provides “fake” GPT-based employees for businesses.
The transformation is just starting and it is exciting to see that regular employees with minimal engineering skills are now able to use these kinds of tools for their work. This will bring about a further revolution in how we think about work today. With AI and automation becoming more prevalent in the workplace, it is important for us to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of this shift.
In conclusion, AI and automation have already made a significant impact on the workplace and have the potential to bring about even greater changes in the future. Whether this is a good thing or not will depend on how we choose to use these tools and how we approach this new era of work.
