Interestingly, the people most worried about losing their jobs to AI are the people who use generative AI tools regularly at work, according to a BCG survey of over 13,000 employees. Regular genAI use has increased across all parts of organizations, but it’s still the highest among the management class. Currently, 82% of leadership uses AI for work, compared with 43% of frontline employees—but the survey also revealed that those in leadership positions aren't nearly as worried about *their* future employment. https://lnkd.in/eKxyyW29

What will be the impact of #AI on the #FutureOfWork according to a study conducted by McKinsey & Company and referenced in the AI Index Report 👇 👉 Although a large proportion of the business professionals surveyed (30%) expected little to no change in the number of employees, 43% felt that staff size would decrease in the next 3 years. Only 15% felt that generative AI would lead to increases in the number of employees. There were also widespread predictions that AI would lead to an increased need for employee #reskilling. 🧠 What do these insights mean in other words? While the impact of AI on the number of employees in an organisation will likely be, on average, minimal, depending on how rapidly generative AI tools are deployed in the coming years, we might see a decrease in the number of #job postings for certain functions as AI is taking over more of the tasks for certain roles (e.g. customer support). 🧠 Also, when it comes to the need to be reskilled, which was expressed by the majority of business professionals surveyed, what I see happening instead is that employees are left, in most cases, to their own devices. In other words, while their employers are figuring out different business use cases for generative AI tools, employees are learning by themselves how to use them. 👉 The need to equip people with AI skills will only increase in the coming years, but unfortunately, most organisations will struggle to keep up to speed with the latest developments in generative AI and reskill their workers at the same time. Therefore, my message, which I also delivered yesterday at the Business Circle Power of People Conference, is that it's down to us to reskill ourselves. "AI won't replace humans in the workplace, but humans who know how to work with AI tools will replace humans who don’t." - HBS Professor Karim Lakhani

AI Gap: Employees vs. Employers 🤖📊  In 2023, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the world of artificial intelligence. The rise of Generative AI has ushered in a transformative wave that promises to reshape business models and redefine how work is accomplished. 🌍🚀   ➡️ At Deloitte, we have conducted a study on the usage and attitudes of the Swiss workforce towards Generative AI. One of the key findings from the research is the significant gap between employees and employers when it comes to AI adoption. It turns out that there are more employees utilising AI tools in their daily work than there are companies with formalised AI policies in place. 📊🔍   ➡️ Twenty-six percent (26%) of employees are harnessing AI without informing their line managers. The actual number of covert AI users may be even higher, as some respondents may have been hesitant to admit it. This suggests that individual employees may be embracing AI faster than companies, often doing so under the radar. 👥💼💡   ➡️ Despite this, employees hold their line managers in high regard for their understanding of AI. This is a promising sign that indicates a strong foundation for benefiting from Generative AI's capabilities. 🌟 However, the full potential of Generative AI might be higher than many currently realize, including many line managers. 💡   What are your thoughts on the rapid adoption of AI by employees, and how do you see it impacting the business landscape?   #AI #GenerativeAI #FutureOfWork 

In a recent article, Tom Davenport discussed the evolution of AI in the workplace over the last decade, emphasizing employee augmentation over replacement. Though he also called for pragmatism. While a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study revealed that employees using AI are 40% more productive, the impact of generative AI on employment - at least to this point - has been gradual. Past predictions over job losses have proven inaccurate. The truth is that many organizations and their leaders are still trying to make sense of it all. What is the impact to my organization? To my team? To me? We have an opportunity to co-author the future. To remain curious, lifelong learners who embrace innovation as a complement to the great work we already do. This article is a great insight into it all. #artificialintelligence #humanresources #technology
