The Future of Work with AI
AI is set to significantly alter the work landscape, enabling employees to accomplish ten times more than they do today. This transformation does not imply that people will work less; rather, it suggests that AI will help us engage in new tasks and advance technologies in ways we haven’t yet imagined. For instance, just as calculators expedite calculations, AI will automate many manual tasks, empowering individuals to focus on their core responsibilities and strategic goals. The concept of employees becoming managers of AI agents underscores a future where technology enhances human capabilities rather than replaces them.
