Understanding AI’s Real Impact on Jobs: From Deloitte to Duolingo
Understanding AI’s real impact on jobs and its place at work isn’t an easy task. For many, AI will be a coworker. Imagine you’re at your desk, sipping coffee, and alongside you, there’s AI, not as your replacement but as your new tech-savvy buddy. At Deloitte, 75,000 staff members are getting acquainted with PairD, their new AI-enabled chatbot. A bit of an “office intern” who can whip up slide decks and draft emails but with a twist – it might also goof up.
More than Just AI Office Banter
Other big names like PwC and Accenture are betting on generative AI. Sure, it’s automating the yawn-inducing tasks, but here’s the thing: it’s reshaping jobs. The catch? You need to be an AI whisperer with killer soft skills. The future job market is less about who can push buttons faster and more about who can tango with AI while being a people person.
AI Anxiety in the Air
But let’s not sugarcoat it – it’s not all rosy. The flip side? Artificial intelligence is stirring the pot in the workplace, cooking up a mix of stress and uncertainty. The irony? While companies are gung-ho about AI boosting productivity, employees are breaking into a cold sweat, fretting over becoming obsolete. Too much AI spice, and you’ve got a recipe for anxious employees.
Duolingo’s AI Leap: A Glimpse Into the Future?
Cut to Duolingo, the language app taking the AI leap, but at the cost of their human translators. They’ve decided to let AI take the wheel for translations, giving about 10% of their contractors the cold shoulder. It’s a cost-cutting move that’s sending shivers down the spine of the workforce.
