HOW AI, DATA AND HUMAN BEINGS WILL TOGETHER RE-INVENT THE WORLD OF WORK - L'Atelier BNP Paribas

The whole issue of automation is a thorny one because it's now part and parcel of a wider public and media debate about destroying jobs. However, Yoni Abittan stresses that the issue is not really about job destruction but the shifting of tasks and the creation of new jobs. "AI pushes us to bring our skills, knowledge and basic abilities up to date. It enables the creation of new fields of activity, new job descriptions," he argues, pointing out: "For instance, the InsurTech specialist Lemonade provides AI-based services. In just a few clicks, its customers can obtain insurance cover or submit a claim and receive compensation – all thanks to AI. Well, this is a roundabout way of illustrating how job destruction can be creative."
