Marc Haine explores what happens when AI speeds up parts of your job by 10 to 100 times. The freed-up time can either boost output or let you move to higher-level strategic work, making human expertise more valuable as automation handles simpler tasks.
And that's where there's going to be a lot more value in what we do is helping the AI and working together with the AI in order to provide better value. So when you imagine that some part of your job is going to be done 10 to 100 times faster than it is today, what's that going to do? Well, it's likely to free up a little bit of time. First of all, if the most time-consuming part of my job is conceptual, and can be done with the help of AI, then I could be more productive. I could do a lot more things in a day or in a week or in a month than I was before. What am I going to do with that time? Is the business going to say, well, we're just going to crank out more widgets? Or is it going to say, let's start thinking a little higher level, create more value, look for new opportunities to open new business lines and put people to work at a more strategic level? And this is not really new because I've been saying for a few years, you know, as we automate people's jobs or outsource people's jobs, the role of the humans and the individuals in the organization become more valuable. We can leverage their knowledge because now the simple things that can be done by automation are being done and it gives people more time.
