AI and Productivity: How to Develop Employees and Drive Business Results

The adoption of artificial intelligence has been unprecedented but how can senior business practitioners and people professionals ensure that it increases productivity and doesn't hinder staff learning and development?

Unlike other technologies, there has been no gentle roll out of artificial intelligence from the top level of the organization. This means that the adoption of AI has been fast, unstructured, ever changing and often comes from more junior colleagues rather than a top-down approach. Artificial Intelligence is becoming a default feature that is being built into existing familiar systems but what does this mean for productivity? Is AI really saving time and creating the efficiencies that the business needs or is it an expensive distraction? What does it mean for staff skill development and employee learning?
