Instead of being replaced by robots, we’re all slowly turning into cyborgs.

Though businesses across the industry have begun to experiment with AI agents and how they can better work with humans, they remain concerned about being held responsible for their agents' mistakes. So, for now, even those seeing massive success with AI agents are keeping humans in the loop.

CMU's findings offer a reality check. The top-performing model finished a little less than one-quarter of all tasks. In many scenarios, the AI agents started well, but as tasks became more complex, they ran into issues due to their lack of common sense, social skills, or technical abilities.

The AI agent was instructed to complete tasks that real employees may carry out. In one, it had to navigate through several files to analyze a coffee shop's databases. In another, it was asked to write a performance review of an engineer.

They staffed a fake company in a virtual simulation to test how AI agents fare in real-life scenarios. It mimicked a small software firm and included internal websites, a Slack-like chat program, a handbook, and designated bots for help.

#GenZ #AI #workplace

Because many Gen Z workers even go as far as to rely on AI for guidance instead of their managers, another risk is it weakening their ability to build interpersonal skills. A bigger question this trend pops up, however, is whether this could push out older workers.

Research has found that heavy reliance on AI was associated with lower measures of critical thinking, especially among younger adults, and could hinder their growth by doing tasks they could have learned from.

With Gen-Z projected to soon account for more than a quarter of the workforce, their transformation into a chatbot generation could have a seismic effect. But it won't be without its repercussions. Experts worry that operating on AI autopilot could come back to bite Gen Z in the long run.

In fact, studies have found Gen Zers use AI in the office more frequently than their older counterparts for everything from administrative tasks to problem-solving. For them, as a generation that grew up intertwined with tech, "engaging with AI feels more intuitive than deliberate."

The reasons behind Gen-Z's rapid adoption are multifold: it frees up their time to focus on higher-level creative jobs, improve work-life balance, upskill, and ideally, make their jobs more meaningful by automating drudgeries.

Stephen King advocates this too and after reading his On Writing memoir, I put it in practice and pretty much found it to be on point.

Oh my, that's lovely!

Stunning! Have you been to any of India's national parks?
