For the past two years, AI technologies have been the major trend for technological apprehension. A complete revolution has been brought in by various methods of Artificial Intelligence. There has been a widespread opinion about the predatory role of Artificial Intelligence, i.e. AI will be a replacement for human labour. Most importantly we need to look into the alternative perspective of Artificial Intelligence, which would play an important role in our lives and organization.
An evolutionary pathway of AI indulgence can bring about significant change in organizational manifestation. Artificial Intelligence can impose both augmentation strategy as well as a replacement strategy for the benefit of the organization. Augmented strategy can work by unique human capabilities to bring about significant transformation in the key pillar of the organization, i.e. work, worker, and workplace.
This further enables the creation of a cyborg interface- a kind of transhuman ‘HumBot’ (Human +Robot).
Work
Human life cannot be defined completely with this fundamental and defining aspect. Even though technology has developed exponentially, humans still do a lot of manual labour and spend most of their time and money for the same. Productivity can be increased with a unique human-machine blend. This can maximize the potential and make humans more focused on tasks (for instance, empathy and inspiration).
Worker
A worker redesigns the workability. AI can effectively redesign work, workforce, and workability. Artificial Intelligence technology enhances the working ability. It can have two important benefits for workers.
It can create new roles that do not exist today.
It can transform existing roles to make them more impactful
For instance, ‘invoice processing’ can be automated with the help of Artificial Intelligence and hence replacing the workforce behind the process of invoices. It can further manage the capital of the organization and improve partner- organization relationships. Artificial Intelligence has the potential for increasing the effectiveness by creating ‘personalized digital augmenters’ ( for example an alert can be sent to the manager about important news regarding a significant partner through an enhanced co-relation analysis).
Workplace
COVID 19 has significantly changed the perception of the workplace. Workers have to adapt to the new workplace irrespective of their job and organization. The definition of the workplace has become fluid. But this change in fluidity brought about an effective change in productivity as more work was done with sitting at home and at work with ease.
