🤖 How AI will transform the way we work

Good morning and welcome to the Sunday issue of neonpulse!

Today’s newsletter is focused on how AI will impact the future of work, along with the skillset that will be required to thrive in this new environment.

Let’s get into it!

The Future Of Work

Artificial intelligence is set to completely revolutionize the way we work, but according to a new study by Microsoft, this is a change that a lot more people are looking forward to than you may think.

With the pace of work surging, the amount of data overload, and the never ending stream of communications throughout the day, 68% of individuals surveyed said that they didn't have enough time during their day to complete their work…

But the next generation of AI tools is set to change that.

“There's an enormous opportunity for AI-powered tools to empower employees,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

“This new generation of AI will remove the drudgery of work, allowing workers to unleash their creativity and focus on higher value projects.” 

In practical term, Nadella expects that workers will be able to use new AI tools to automate repetitive tasks and low value activities, freeing up their time to focus on higher value tasks that they actually enjoy.

And despite lingering concerns about AI replacing jobs, 70% of respondents stated that they were excited about the development AI, revealing that people are thinking about AI as a new technology that can help save them from burnout as opposed to being overly concerned about it taking their jobs.

On the other side of the equation is the managerial perspective on AI adoption, with the study finding that business leaders are significantly more interested in using AI to increase productivity than in using the technology to cut headcount.

And while there will certainly be jobs that are replaced entirely with AI, Microsoft believes that, for a majority of jobs, that employees will use AI as a copilot, helping them to achieve more in less time.

“Just as the introduction of the printing press didn’t put writers out of work, the promise of AI isn’t about eliminating jobs or reducing headcount. It’s about unleashing human capacity and enabling employees to direct their energy to the work that matters most,” said Jared Spataro, CVP of Microsoft.

When asked to envision what the work environment would look like in the year 2030, respondents imagined a future where they could produce high-quality work in half the time, never having to mentally absorb unnecessary or irrelevant information again.

And while AI will make this new reality possible, in order for this magical future to come to fruition, a new set of skills will become essential in order for employees and companies to maximize the productivity boosting value of the new technology.

Critical thinking, analytical judgment, and complex problem-solving will become the new core competencies, meaning that finding ways to train and instill workers with this type of skillset will become the driving force behind the winning companies of the decades ahead.
