Can AI Replace Your Role at Work?

Artificial Intelligence applies integrated strategies directed to learning, reasoning, and conclusive informative methods that are demonstrated by computers programmed to mimic human intelligence. Tasks in the workplace that were previously human performed are being assigned to AI more and more. Data and feedback show that this method leaves less room for human error and reduces cost. But this is just a small start with much larger possibilities for AI and the future of work and how it can affect your role in the workplace. 

While AI offers perspective and task efficiency that human intelligence struggles to produce on a mass level, there are some drawbacks for human employees. 

1. Job Displacement: As AI continues to advance past current employee level out output, there is a legitimate concern for job displacement. If the task or role you currently hold could be automated, now is the time to start navigating new skills to adapt to the changing job demands. 

2. Bias Judgement: The data-based systems that provide the majority of information AI uses to operate can sometimes display bias and societal inequalities, leading to a discriminatory based output.  

3. Workplace Learning Curves: Trying to stay sharp and adapt to keep up with AI and its impact on your work output can be challenging, especially for employees who might not be as technologically savvy to perform on par.  This is where the job organization needs to invest in comprehensive training and ongoing support for their workers to navigate the changes efficiently.  

Business Quote

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of humanity. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.” - Stephen Hawking  

His quote displays his comprehension of the endless capabilities AI has, and how vastly it will have an effect on humans as a species.
