  • People aren’t stupid. Pretending your bots are human will make you fail

    December 14, 2024 | ,

    Humanizing bots while dehumanizing humans risks creating a soulless enterprise in which efficiency wins, but humanity loses. The meteoric rise of Agentic AI is fundamentally reshaping workplace dynamics as systems evolve from basic automation tools into autonomous digital workers that can execute complex tasks, make decisions, and even mimic human collaboration patterns.  In short, after all the noise about bots replacing workers in the workplace over the past decade-plus, we now have technology that is still being positioned by many tech vendors to do just that. This evolution poses a double-edged challenge for enterprise leaders. While Agentic AI promises to unlock massive productivity gains and operational efficiencies, it also threatens to erode the human elements that drive innovation and organizational resilience. Meanwhile, employees face growing pressures to compete with tireless digital counterparts and productivity-obsessed work environments, further straining workplace culture. Read More

  • The great GenAI paradox: It can make you dumber

    August 09, 2024 | ,

    The reality of GenAI integration into the workplace reveals a paradox: while the initial productivity gains are evident, they often come with hidden costs that can offset the benefits by creating new challenges. The highest cost that must be addressed is when people become over-reliant on GenAI to develop solutions and suffer a decline in their learning capabilities.Read More
