5 Ways Artificial Intelligence is Affecting Employment

Artificial Intelligence is Affecting Employment

<p>Artificial intelligence &lpar;AI&rpar; is having a positive impact on the digital workplace&period; Despite many concerns regarding job redundancies and shift in enterprise priorities&comma; recent research study from an international auditing company PwC indicates that&comma; far from making some jobs obsolete or hindering employees&comma; artificial intelligence will help employees achieve business objectives and goals more effectively and quicker&period; However&comma; to do that&comma; companies have to invest in various types of AI&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As per recent data from MetLife&comma; 56&percnt; of employers have a positive view of artificial intelligence &lpar;AI&rpar;&comma; and other automation technologies such as analytics and even robots&period; On the other hand&comma; just 20&percnt; of the 2&comma;501 subjects surveyed expressed they were pessimistic regarding the impact of artificial intelligence and its impact on their entrepreneurial role&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>These two studies show that AI will have a positive impact on the workplace&period; Here are five reasons why&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>1&period;     Improving Staff Morale<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Many industry experts view AI as a threat in the modern workplace&period; That being said&comma; AI could also enhance employee experience in several ways&period; Leveraging an extensive variety of internal data&comma; like employee reviews&comma; exit interviews&comma; and pulse scores&comma; artificial intelligence could regularly monitor employee morale&comma; and allow organizations to adjust their policies and practices as needed&comma; reduce high turnover&comma; and better engage workers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>2&period;     Automation of Repetitive Tasks<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>We often label the term AI to automation as well as low-value tasks altogether&semi; however&comma; it is not completely true&period; It will also play a key role in high-value and non-repetitive tasks&period; Artificial intelligence is taking care of these tasks while allowing the HR personnel to devote more time to strategic ones&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Some tasks are better left automated whether it is provisioning a device or allocating space&period; Not to mention the lengthy list of typical HR requests and questions&period; The employees will be more geared toward strategic and creative work that adds more value to their company and drives it forward&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>3&period;     Need to Hire for AI<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>In almost the same manner that the digitalization of the workplace spawn millions of new jobs&comma; especially in IT and related business functions&comma; artificial intelligence will bring forth its new classification of exciting jobs across teams through outsourcing platforms&period; As this technology permeates all business units&comma; from sales and marketing to manufacturing and finance&comma; its growth would trigger the creation of millions of well-paying and highly-skilled positions across every industry&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>4&period;     Control Information Overload<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>As per a survey performed by Dimensional Research and Texas-based M-Files&comma; almost 50&percnt; of employees said they tend to struggle with documents and content that are scattered in disparate locations in their organization&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The copious amounts of data generated daily are a nightmare for many employees&comma; and this is where artificial intelligence comes in&period; New and exciting developments in AI are setting the stage for an intelligent and savvy digital assistant that’s designed to help workers perform data-oriented tasks — like prioritizing emails on the basis of urgency&comma; proactively attaching content to emails and balancing workflows&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>AI can also automatically analyze and study metadata tags as well as relationships in order to apply context to information&comma; and thereby eliminate the need for workers to manually categorize content&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>5&period;     No Bias<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Unconsciously or consciously humans are usually inclined in one way or another toward certain biases&period; This is simply because of our human nature which is susceptible to error when it comes to taking decisions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Although there are a lot of professionals who can limit the adverse effects of human biasing&comma; artificial intelligence is not biased at all&period; This is why in a recent study involving 350 human resource leaders&comma; it was noted that over 90&percnt; believe that chatbots are very effective and efficient in the corporate world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Because of their human-friendliness and neutrality&comma; employees tend to feel more comfortable and open-minded reporting inquiries to chatbots&period; According to some predictions&comma; by 2020&comma; artificial intelligence chatbots will be adopted globally at a 75 percent rate&comma; which is a huge change in a span of less than 2 years&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h1>Final Thoughts<&sol;h1>&NewLine;<p>In summary&comma; while the advent of the artificial intelligence age creates an apparent &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;struggle” between machines and humans and may replace jobs&comma; it will also create amazing opportunities for new talent who can develop&comma; apply as well as optimize various AI technologies&period; It requires employees with strong communications skills who can leverage their high-level technical achievements in their professional life&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
