People are really underrated in this moment. They bring a level of creativity and direction that allows AI to explore those less predictable paths.
Rather than taking existing jobs and simply layering AI on top, organizations should develop people's skills to use AI effectively and rethink what new possibilities humans and AI can unlock together.
In this MIT Technology Review series, sponsored by @EY_US, Dan Diasio, EY Global Consulting AI leader, and Neil Thompson, Director, FutureTech Research Project at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, explore the unique human strengths that can help people direct and scale AI, and why organizations need the right mindset, skill set, and tool set for successful AI adoption.
Topics covered:
How AI is changing the future of work
Why organizations need to rethink existing jobs
The role of human creativity and systems thinking in AI
How people and AI can collaborate more effectively
How organizations can reshape jobs for an AI-enabled workplace
Frequently asked questions:
