It was Microsoft herself who recognized him for a long time: work meetings become many times more a problem than a solution.
Companies waste so much time that there are people who spend more time gathered than working. Now, however, An expert seems to have found a possible solution: that the AI is occupied.
Just a few years ago, it might seem more typical of series or science fiction films than a real option. However, technology already allows you to do so. Or at least that’s what a company’s CEO has tried to show. To what extent can it be a way to gain time that becomes common in the future? Would most companies accept it?
An AI capable of attending labor meetings for you
Any worker who usually has to go to meetings (digital, is understood) can end up exhausted. In general, it is not the funniest part of most jobs, and it is quite frequent that there are those who consider it a waste of time. In fact,Who has not ever thought about how practical it would be for another to take care of it?
Well, it seems that now that desire could come true. Only it would not be to delegate to another person, but in the technology itself. In artificial intelligence, to be exact. What just a few years ago seemed like a fantasy of science fiction is now in full phase of adoption, with business leaders delegating their presence in routine encounters … A bots of AI.
As the Bloomberg medium points out, specific cases have already been given with name and surname. Sam Liang, CEO of the Otter.AI company, has developed what could be considered something like a digital avatar. He has even given his name: «Sam-Bot». Its function is quite simple: attend some of the many job meetings that you have to carry out instead.
Keep in mind that, as El Confidencial collects, Sam Bot was not born overnight. This artificial intelligence model was trained with data from more than a decade of meetings, emails and documents. Thanks to all this accumulated information, it is now capable not only of being part of the meetings, but also of interacting in them almost as a person.
Technology, the best possible assistant?
Naturally, the theme gives for a debate. Can this practice be understood as a way to take better advantage of time, or rather as a way of «escaping» of labor obligations? In this specific case, in the case of the company’s CEO, no one is going to complain, of course. But what would happen if an employee did exactly the same?
Many people recently speak that AI should be understood as a help, almost an assistant, of many professionals, not as someone born to replace human work. However, not all experts agree, and even some see little less than obsolete to flesh and blood workers.
