6 Ways AI Is Improving the Digital Workplace

At the end of July, the Allegis Group, a talent solutions provider based in released findings from a survey of more than 300 HR professionals, senior-manager level and above, who reported mixed feelings about AI and its impact on the future of work. The research found that 21 percent view AI as something to be excited about, 17 percent consider it both disrupting and enabling, and a lower number, nine percent, believe AI will displace most jobs in 10 years. This mixed view of AI is not surprising because the technology does more than automate tasks. The person whose role no longer includes a certain repetitive task automated by AI may not necessarily lose their job. "Rather, they may now have new responsibilities that more broadly focus on human capabilities that AI cannot deliver," Rachel Russell, executive director of corporate strategy at Allegis, said.
