We Still Need Humanity in the Future of Work

We Still Need Humanity in the Future of Work

AI and automation is at the center of a lot of conversations these days. Most of the time these discussions are focused around efficiency and the ability of AI and automation to get a task done. An autonomous vehicle, for example, can pick you up from point A and drop you off at point B.

But, I've noticed that there really isn't any discussions focused around the human aspect and how we feel about the process of the task completion. The world's number one chess player, Magnus Carlsen, recently commented on AI and automation in the chess world. He said he doesn't ever play against a computer, not because the computer always wins (which he admits, it always does), but because he feels like he is playing against someone stupid who does not understand the game.

Going back to the autonomous car example, yes it can get you from point A to point B, but can it open the door for you, can it provide casual conversation along the way, and can it provide commentary on the area you are passing through?

It's not just about getting a task done, it's about how we feel during the process of completion. In using only AI and automation we lose out on human interaction, we should be careful not to lose sight of the human component.
