From disruption to reinvention: How knowledge workers can thrive after AI
1 min read
Summary
Advancements in AI are causing a migration of both labour and meaning, as machines take over tasks previously believed to require a uniquely human intelligence, according to a feature in Venturebeat.
Tasks such as coding and drafting legal documents are increasingly being performed by algorithms, leading to a fundamental reevaluation of human value in the workplace, it states.
Technological innovation has historically also led to a shift in workers’ identity and sense of worth, from the agrarian era to industrial and digital revolutions.
However, the feature argues that the answer to AI taking over knowledge work lies in a reclaiming of value that only humans can offer, including empathy, ethical judgment and artistic creation.
