Putting People at the ❤️ of AI
The rise of AI is already reshaping the workplace. In response, leading companies and governments are at the forefront, pioneering innovative methods that place people at the heart of designing and implementing AI systems – approaches that directly incorporate workers’ needs, abilities, skills, and well-being.
The pivotal role of people to responsibly shape AI is now clear. And policy frameworks must evolve to support this central tenet: workers themselves can and must help steer the trajectory of AI transformation.
AI Will Create More Jobs Than It Destroys
Technological advancements create opportunities for people to do more meaningful work, provided they have the right skills.
As businesses learn to adapt and change along with AI, humans will power the future of work, as they upskill and learn how to work with, not against, modern technologies. People must shift their perspectives to view AI as a chance to augment their technical knowledge and professional capabilities.
The Productivity Paradox: Navigating Human Potential and Advanced Technology
Companies seeking to unlock latent productivity must first focus on finding the right blend of people and technology, enhancing workplace culture, and developing leadership. The rise in remote work — and subsequent spike in productivity — seemed to be the answer.
More recently, the growth of AI is touted as the new top driver of productivity. However, its impact will largely depend on society’s reaction to and adoption of new AI technology. As it stands, the more technologically advanced we’ve become as a society, the more productivity has declined.
