Choice of staff: AI AI AT THE HUMAN TOUCH
First of all, we were told artificial intelligence came for everyone’s jobs, then came data to support the AI replacement trend in certain sectors. Now we learn what many criticisms have often said: there is simply no replacement for the human touch. It was fascinating to read in Angela Yang’s relationships the kind of cyclical period in which we found ourselves, to invest it in AI to make it faster, faster and easier. We are almost back to square one in some cases, hiring humans to correct the small but protruding of the automated assistants. Rather than progressing towards a world of comprehensive replacement of the processes, history challenges us to think more critical about how AI and humans can – and should – work symbiotically.
