AI is here to stay\u2014no doubt about that. The real question is, what should we expect from artificial intelligence? How does AI affect the workplace? Do all these incredible technologies bring better results, really? And if they do, what is the cost of that? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to IBM<\/a>, artificial intelligence is the technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving capabilities. In other words, AI imitates our brains and speeds through some of the patterns our brains use to access and sort information. Think generative AI tools such as Chat GPT or digital assistants like Siri and Alexa. These tools and assistants have built-in data that they can pull from on demand, as well as a unique algorithm that enables that pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to point out that we\u2019ve known digital assistants for a while now. We even have movies about them. Asking Google about the weather while browsing through our closet is more practical than sitting down to look it up ourselves. Similarly, turning on the GPS is a complete game-changer compared to looking at a physical map. Generative AI, however, is a different story. This kind of technology can learn and produce complex information such as visual content and software code\u2014things that used to be human-dependent. That begs the question, how will AI affect jobs? Or even more urgently\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
