As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves, there’s growing fear of job loss and unforeseen consequences. However, a recent study by TCS reveals a more optimistic future. 90% of futurists surveyed believe in positive AI changes, with 40% being “very optimistic.”
They emphasize AI’s potential to improve employees’ physical and mental well-being at work, foreseeing AI assistants offering health advice, monitoring stress levels, and suggesting breaks. Additionally, 70% see AI continuing the trend of remote or hybrid work spurred by the pandemic.
As AI advances, leadership focus might shift from employees’ work hours to their performance. This supports discussions around a four-day work week but remains a topic of divided expert opinions.
Futurists predict that marketing, communication, health, education, banking, finance, and IT industries will see the quickest AI-driven transformations. However, the pace of change in each sector will depend on various factors.
Graham Norris, Founder of Foresight Psychology, warns that adaptation will be crucial for individuals to benefit from AI rather than being overwhelmed by it. For instance, healthcare professionals should define which tasks can be handled by AI and which require a human touch.
