Episode #98: Keeping Employees Engaged Part 2

What would you have time for at the office if nearly 30% of your tasks were automated and didn’t require your attention? According to McKinsey & Company that dream is not too far from a reality. They suggest this is how it could be in about 60% of jobs using artificial intelligence (AI). By allowing AI to complete these menial tasks efficiently, theoretically employees are freed up to work on things like relationships and overall workplace culture. However, nearly half of U.S. adults are still on the fence saying the overall increase in use of AI computer programs in daily life makes them feel equally concerned and excited. In this second of three parts series, Dewey, Rae, and Bryana discuss AI, the effects it could have on our workplaces, and the possible impact on employee engagement.
