There’s a lot of talk now about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace. But as much as we hear about “robots coming for your jobs”, the reality is that the best workplaces will have people and machines working together.
Employer demand for AI in the workplace has more than doubled over the last three years, and the majority of leaders expect their employees and machines to work as “integrated teams” in the next few years.
The most innovative organisations are combining the unique skills of people and machines to create better workplaces, deliver superior customer experiences, and stay ahead of the game in a fast-changing world.
How will AI help the people in your organisation? Here are 10 ways …

- AI manages simple, repetitive tasks like scheduling meetings and answering common questions
