The advent of artificial intelligence has transformed the way we approach work. In just two months, the chatGPT conversational artificial intelligence tool, developed by OpenAI, reached 100 million users, outpacing the growth of social networks and popular search engines. This rapid adoption highlights the growing impact of AI on our professional lives.
According to Slack's 2023 State of Work report, 90% of respondents using AI within their organization showed higher levels of productivity. Workers who use automation methods save an average of 3.6 hours of work per week. This represents a major opportunity to free workers from repetitive tasks and allow them to focus on activities with higher added value. How is artificial intelligence redefining productivity?
The challenges of automation
Yet, despite the obvious benefits of automation, its adoption is still far from the norm in many organizations. A question then arises: which jobs can already benefit from these advances? How do you set up simple and effective automation processes?
The Slack State of Work survey reveals that engineering and IT teams are the most likely to use these methods, while design, marketing, and sales teams still have untapped automation potential.
One of the major challenges is the lack of creating automation processes within teams, despite the belief that this would greatly improve their productivity. Only 45% of respondents said that their teams had such processes in place, representing a significant shortfall in operational efficiency.
AI: an ally for innovation
Automation has many benefits, including the reduction of costs associated with inefficient processes, greater innovation by saving workers' time, and improved competitiveness. The benefits of automation even extend to the well-being of workers, with improved work-life balance.
However, to fully exploit the potential of AI, it is essential to create meaning around these transformations. This requires a thorough understanding of the needs of the organization and its collaborators, as well as the establishment of environments conducive to innovation and individual expression.
Artificial intelligence and creative jobs
The impact of artificial intelligence is not limited to jobs traditionally associated with automation. Even creative professions, such as writers, are affected. Tools like ChatGPT can generate text, raising questions about the future of writing and human creativity.
For editors, it is becoming difficult to distinguish whether a text has been influenced by artificial intelligence. This technology raises complex questions about the authenticity of artistic creation.
Automation as an opportunity and a challenge
Automation offers considerable potential for improving productivity and freeing workers from routine tasks. However, it also puts pressure on society and requires organizations, the state and the education system to adapt.
Balancing the benefits of automation with the challenges it poses in terms of mental health, skills development, and organizational culture is critical. Businesses need to be agile and human-centered to succeed in this transformation, creating meaning around change and encouraging innovation.
AI is here to stay, and its impact on the world of work is only going to grow. It is up to organizations to seize opportunities while maintaining the essence of human creativity and authenticity. The future of work will be shaped by our ability to meet this challenge.
