media update’s Aisling McCarthy looks at how AI technology will change the way humans spend their workday.

Regardless of the industry, workplaces are evolving at a great speed. Jobs are becoming more demanding, and more complex. The implementation of AI systems will make it possible for humans to do their jobs quickly and more effectively. It will also help them avoid some of their more mundane tasks.


Here’s how AI will save you time in your workday:

AI will create time for the important things

Everyone wants more time, more open spaces in their calendar and more time to do the really important work. However, in order to make more time available, we have to remove some of the lower-value tasks from our workdays.

When it comes to dealing with large data sets, algorithms can sift through information and pull out insights, outliers or a particular value. It can do this with a speed and accuracy that humans simply can’t match. AI’s don’t mind boring tasks – and they don’t get tired.

This means that repetitive, mundane tasks will be taken over by AI, allowing humans to focus on more complicated tasks. For example, if an algorithm sifts through large sets of data to find outliers, humans can focus on figuring out why there are outliers in the first place. Most of these AI systems will be able to run in the background while humans work, which means that twice as much work can be done at the same time.

AI will help humans master their fields

For businesses to keep growing, employees and business strategies need to be cultivated and elevated. However, what makes a winning strategy, and how do you recreate success?

AI technology can identify the indicators of excellence, and can help to duplicate them. This technology can find patterns in the data that humans might miss. With that information, humans can adjust their business strategies to see success.

Once humans understand which elements are seeing a successful return, they will be able to come up with a strategy that includes the elements identified by AI, and put a creative spin on it. Humans and AI make a powerful combination here – it is not merely one or the other that will lead to success.

With more knowledge at hand, humans will be able to be work more effectively. This will slowly decrease the margin for error, making it possible for humans to do their jobs in a shorter amount of time.
