Report claims artificial intelligence is unlocking new efficiencies, while highlighting crucial and irreplaceable human skills.

FULL STORY

Tackling early concerns that artificial intelligence could replace human workers and take our jobs, new Workday research has claimed AI could actually act as a catalyst for a skills revolution.

Tackling the popular narrative of scepticism, Workday's report revealed 85%
of active AI users report a high level of optimism surrounding the
technology, a noteworthy upgrade over the 78% of non-adopters reporting
similar sentiments.

Its not just in skills where workers are seeing the benefits of AI 93% of active users also report having more free time when using the technology, enabling them to focus on higher-level tasks like strategy and
problem-solving.

Workers are optimistic about artificial intelligence

As AI becomes more embedded in everyday workflows and organizational strategies, were beginning to see where its roles are most appreciated, and where the value of human workers remains critical. For example, humans bring more to the table when it comes to ethical decision-making, empathy, relationship building, and conflict resolution, rendering these the least likely areas to be replaced by AI.

More than four in five (83%) believe AI will make human skills like the ones mentioned above more important to employers.

By embracing AI for good, we can elevate what makes us uniquely human our creativity, our empathy, our ability to connect and build a workplace where these skills drive success," noted Workday CTO Jim Stratton.

Looking ahead, Workday calls for joint efforts by tech companies,
organizations and even governments to ensure AIs benefits are felt by
everyone. The report also highlights the need for a focus on crucial human skills.

The talking points I keep hearing is that AI means the entry-level
copywriting positions are going to be replaced by AI. They'll be
replaced by people who can craft AI prompts to write copy via AI and be
more productive with it. I can see that happening.

There's so much bad AI content out there that someone who can craft
effective content with it would be golden - and a lot more productive
than someone just hammering out their own content.

Yeah, a lot of the content it creates on its own sure needs some
"crafting." Some of it has been pretty poor on its own.

In some cases, I worry that the poor content is the point -- for those who
are using it to spread disinformation, for example.

I could imagine crafting a ChatGPT prompt to do just so.

And I can imagine a couple of people who would bite on it, too. ;)
