Artificial intelligence is a progress to emancipate all work actors.

He first reminds that “AI is a set of algorithms that feed on data. It can deduce certain information, situations, and thus automate tasks that were until now repetitive, burdensome, and required a lot of human investment with little added value. Conversely, AI will also be capable of performing very advanced tasks very quickly, which until today were the preserve of experienced profiles.” Focusing back on essential tasks.

Managers can thus get ahead of the game. Currently, “they face an impossible equation. They are asked for everything and its opposite. They must manage human resources, quality, social relations, performance, objectives. It’s hellish! Many end up resigning. Thanks to AI, and by outsourcing certain tasks, they save time. They can refocus on their core business: human relations, the transmission of good practices, and advice. Everything that contributes to putting humans back at the center of concerns is good to take. AI is a support!”

On the employees’ side, the concerns are valid as “it is about adapting to a new reality,” acknowledges Luc Bretones. However, according to the leader, AI has positive aspects. This new work context will notably challenge entry-level profiles more, as “the simple tasks that were previously assigned to them will now be delegated to AI. At the beginning of their careers, the younger generations will use AI to perform more complex tasks more quickly and with greater added value,” he rejoices. For these two main reasons – time savings and increased interest in the tasks assigned – “AI is a real progress to emancipate managers, their teams, and more broadly all work actors. Provided that it is controlled and respects an acceptable ethics for companies,” concludes the head of the NextGen leadership training institute.
