The Future of Internships: Your AI Intern
The future of internships is also impacted by artificial intelligence. Your AI intern could be the best one you ever had. However, what does this mean for actual internships? It might not be as gloomy as you think it is.
The AI Intern You Didn’t Know You Needed
Heather Holding from Best Egg shared how AI transformed her team’s workflow. Overwhelmed with policy documents that were collecting digital dust, she turned to an AI tool for help. While the AI didn’t get it right on the first go, it was like having an intern who could work at superhuman speed, minus the coffee spills.
The evolving role of AI in the workplace is also bringing AI interns. AI needs guidance but can handle tasks beyond human bandwidth, especially in fields like accounting, where there’s a worker shortage.
AI vs Humans?
The narrative has always been AI vs. humans, like some epic showdown in a sci-fi movie. However, AI will most likely take on the work we either can’t or don’t want to do. AI is stepping into roles that were previously unthinkable without human intervention. From content moderation to summarizing customer sentiments, AI is becoming an invaluable tool, not the job-stealing boogeyman we feared. AI is an intern who can read a thousand customer reviews without a break or a complaint.
AI & Human Collaboration
While AI can crunch numbers and draft policies, there’s still a human element that’s irreplaceable. Many tasks that require a human touch, like navigating complex environments or handling delicate machinery, are still far from AI’s grasp.
Embracing AI: The Future of Work
It’s clear AI is reshaping the workplace, not as a usurper but as a valuable ally. It’s about leveraging AI where it shines, allowing us to focus on areas that require our irreplaceable human touch. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to welcome AI as the newest member of the team, awkwardness and all.
