AI & the Workplace Impact of AI on Talent 01st October 2018 Ali Khaled AlHashmi SVP& Head of Human Resources & Centre of Excellence Group Union National Bank
THE IMPACT OF AI ON EMPLOYEES Ali Khaled AlHashmi
THE IMPACT OF AI ON EMPLOYEES THE PRESSING QUESTIONS Will our jobs be taken over by Robots and Intelligent Machines? Are our jobs secure? Are we still going to be here? Will our jobs be redundan t? Will we take a pay cut? Are we still important to the company ? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
These sort of questions arise naturally simply as a result of Fear of the Unknown Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Will Humans Eventually Become Unemployable? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Tractors were developed to replace human muscle power with mechanical power. Computers were developed to eliminate cumbersome, error-laden human calculation and replace it with digital perfection. In 1900, 40% of all US employment was in agriculture. By the end of the 20th century, that was less than 2%. Where did all those farmers go? WILL HUMANS EVENTUALLY BECOME UNEMPLOYABLE? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Are Our Jobs Still Secure? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
ARE OUR JOBS SECURE? Despite 200 years of labor-saving automation, the fraction of the adult population that participates in the labor market has risen, steadily, decade over decade. The fraction of adults working in the United States in 2017, is higher than it was 125 years ago in 1890. The US, for example, has created 17 million jobs in net since the death of the Great Recession, which is about the same number of articles written in that period saying how the robots are taking all of our jobs. Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Several jobs will become obsolete and thats normal but many more would be created. The internet and mobile technology revolutions have created far more jobs than they have destroyed. AI will likely have the same effect, but new opportunities in the digital economy will require superior technical skills and knowledge. ARE OUR JOBS SECURE? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Research finds that while 45 percent of tasks are automatable, only 5 percent of overall jobs have been replaced by automation. Accentures Operations group, which has more than 100,000 employees, initially calculated that automation would replace 17,000 jobs in their accounts payable and marketing operations. However, headcount actually grew as employees moved to more strategic advisory services that expanded their business lines. ARE OUR JOBS SECURE? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Does it require working in an unpredictable environment? Does it involve creativity and coming up with clever solutions? Does it require interacting with people and using social intelligence? QUESTIONS TO ASK TO IDENTIFY IF A JOB WILL BE TAKEN OVER BY MACHINES Ali Khaled AlHashmi
Whats Going to Happen? Ali Khaled AlHashmi
HUMANS AND MACHINES WORKING TOGETHER Ali Khaled AlHashmi
WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN? The answer is straight forward and is already here today! We will find ways for humans and machines to co-exist and work together effectively. If humans can outsource repetitive and lower-value tasks to AI, then they can free themselves to perform creative and strategic work, and thus augment their output. Eliminating boring jobs that employees dislike can also improve morale and interest as they take on increasingly more meaningful work. AI increases engagement and creates happiness in the workplace! AI probably wont eliminate your job and even if it does, youll probably get a more interesting one! Ali Khaled AlHashmi
