AI is here. AI won’t replace humans.
The question really is “Now what?”
Harvard Business Review recently shared some great insights on AI. AI Won’t Replace Humans — But Humans With AI Will Replace Humans Without AI.
I was at a wedding in Carbondale (near Aspen CO) Saturday night having this conversation with a person in charge of the Gifted & Talented program for Denver Public Schools. It’s fascinating in my opinion how different people approach the same changes.
For this episode of HBR’s video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Lakhani, author of Competing in the Age of AI: Strategy and Leadership When Algorithms and Networks Run the World, to discuss:
- How executives and regular employees can (and must) develop a digital mindset
- Change management as a critical skill that must be in the DNA of any successful organization
- The shapes AI may take in the near and far future
“The New World of Work” explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.
How are you managing revolution sized tech change? It seems that for every individual there is a different opinion. After talking with investors from all walks of life it is evident that each and every one of us needs to ensure that we embrace the changes our work environments (as well as our personal lives too) are undergoing.
Change or be left behind. Which scares you more: AI or not changing?
Here’s some food for thought to embrace AI and its’ changes to our lives:
The Power of AI is vast–even more vast than we currently understand. AI can analyze vast amounts of data, make predictions, and automate tasks. All of these items allow AI to enhance human capabilities and improve decision-making. But will it replace us?
No. However, there are multiple risks to ignoring the changing AI world….
*Lagging Behind in the Competitive Landscape: Companies as well as employees that don’t adopt AI risk falling behind their competitors. This can lead to decreased market share and profitability.
*Inefficient Operations: Without AI, companies will miss out on opportunities to automate tasks, leading to higher operational costs, greater HR costs, increased delays to adapt to market conditions vs. competition and so many more.
*Missed Insights: AI provides valuable insights now in the age of big data. Companies not using AI will miss out on these insights, affecting their strategic decisions and letting the big data of their competition to defeat them.
*Talent Attraction and Retention: Top talent (and maybe you as well) is attracted to innovative companies. Without AI, companies will struggle to attract and retain the best employees.
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, AI is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Ignoring its potential can have dire consequences for businesses and individuals alike.
Imagine a world where your competitors are leaps and bounds ahead, making data-driven decisions, automating mundane tasks, and attracting the brightest minds. This is the reality for those who choose to ignore the power of AI.
Embracing AI ensures you remain competitive. Don’t let your business be overshadowed by others who are harnessing the power of AI. Additionally, AI helps unlock hidden insights: Data is the new gold. With AI, you can mine this gold, uncovering insights build new opportunities to improve strategic decisions.
The future is here, and it’s powered by AI. Don’t get left behind. Embrace AI today and secure your place in the future.
