Lori Harder argues that AI adoption is essential as automation threatens jobs. She identifies three business levers: cutting expenses, shortening delivery time, and boosting output. She points to concrete drains on productivity: endless email, paying for software you don't fully use, and hitting capacity limits.
Jobs, I'm not gonna lie, are at risk. Totally. I like to have everybody think, if I could reduce the expense, shorten the runway of how much time it takes me, or if I could have more of the exact same output I'm already doing, what would those things do for us? Yeah, I spend way too much time checking my email every day. Yeah, I pay all of these vendors, all these service providers, all of these things, all these software to do all this stuff, and I actually don't even know exactly what they're doing. So I really need to pay for that. Or I'm capped because I just can't produce anymore. Most of us can think of one of those. A lot of us can actually start to think of two. But when you can get all three, that feels like a slam dunk.
