We are sleepwalking into AI-augmented work

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. A recent New York Times article concludes that new AI-powered automation tools such as Codex for software developers will not eliminate jobs but simply be a welcome aid to augment programmer productivity. This is consistent with the argument we're increasingly hearing that people and AI have different strengths and there will be appropriate roles for each. As discussed in a Harvard Business Review story: "AI-based machines are fast, more accurate, and consistently rational, but they aren't intuitive, emotional, or culturally sensitive." The belief is that "AI plus humans" is something of a centaur, greater than either one operating alone.
