In this episode, we explore the complexities and opportunities that come hand in hand with AI’s arrival in the workplace. We discuss how AI can improve productivity, increase happiness and make work more interesting. Alongside the opportunity to engage with AI as an empowerment tool, we also discuss the challenges leaders and organizations will be navigating as AI becomes more integrated into our daily 9-5 environment.
