AI will affect all workers in different ways

AI will affect all workers in different ways

There’s a wide range of possible effects of the use of AI at work. Some people will use AI as a tool, augmenting their value. Some don’t have value outside of what AI can produce. The biggest point is that everyone needs to learn how to use this tool or be replaced.

“The most common use cases for AI will likely be saving workers time so they can concentrate on higher-value work or adding additional value to their work. A graphic designer, writer or software developer, for example, can often be more productive with AI-generated first drafts. But that additional productivity won’t necessarily mean smaller workforces. If competitors are leveraging efficiencies to do more—companies will fall behind by cutting their headcount.”a—AI Won’t Take Jobs—It Will Augment Workers
