On April 18th, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alexia Cambon (Senior Director of Research, Modern Work at Microsoft) about the impact that AI will have on us as employees.
This was a thought-provoking conversation, during which I shared some predictions on the topic from our Viva People Science team. These included how AI would impact our skills, our use of time, our need for more humanity and empathy amongst others.
Alexia shared fascinating research undertaken by her team, demonstrating the impact that AI is already having on saving us time and energy in our daily work lives, something that is hugely in deficit today. She presented us with the idea of AI as a ‘third work dimension’ alongside time and space, magnifying the potential impact it will have on how we work in the future. The conversation raised many questions about how organizations and leaders should think about AI, how we as employees and organizations should decide how our time savings are best used and allocated, and how this is likely to positively impact the employee experience.
