Deep dives

The Human Role in AI Agents

Concerns about AI agents replacing jobs are often inflated. Currently, the development and maintenance of AI agents heavily rely on human input for tasks such as goal setting, planning, monitoring, and improvements. Most functions that people fear AI will automate still require substantial human oversight and guidance. Understanding this can transform the narrative from one of fear to an opportunity for individuals to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity and efficiency within their roles.
