AI at Work: Will Automation Make Us More Productive or Just More Lonely?
-
AI could make us more productive but also reduce human interactions at work, making us feel more isolated from coworkers.
-
Interacting mainly with AI rather than peers may cause us to "forget how to work with each other," said one CEO.
-
However, by taking over repetitive tasks, AI could free up more time for meaningful collaboration and connection with coworkers.
-
People worry that lack of human connection from AI could make us lonelier, though interacting more with AI might make us crave real human interactions.
-
If AI makes work less boring by removing drudgery, we may become more willing to connect with and help coworkers.
