AI's influence
This interview will be a quest. Not a question and answer, but a quest for what the new technology, AI, exponential growth will mean for us as people and our work.
We are not going to talk about the fear of job loss, but rather "what does this mean for work and how we organize it?" "What is that collaboration going to look like? Yuri says people are good at being human, we need to develop that further and leave everything the computer can do to the computer. But what does that mean in practice? Big companies will get bigger and smaller companies will continue to play a crucial role, but which one? How can we ensure that the benefits of AI in the workplace are accessible to all, and that there is no further gap between diverse groups of workers?
Takeaways
- Humans are good at being human. Implementing AI in your company will increase productivity by 50 to 200%. This frees up space for humans to apply emotional, social, physical and spiritual intelligence in the workplace, which are very important capabilities.
- By using AI, we can work more efficiently. The extra time created space in work planning. Instead of filling this space with even more work, work together to figure out how to come up with better (creative) plans.
- Give more space to your human aspects. Look for ways through which you are not distracted by your phone etc.. Come to yourself and your essence through this you get a different awareness. You get more ideas from this experience. By slowing down you speed up.
