Work one less day thanks to an artificial intelligence-powered assistant. By using tools like ChatGPT, employees can expect increased productivity, Chris Pissarides believes. The professor at the London School of Economics specializes in the impact of work automation and received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2010. According to him, it would be possible to work one less day thanks to these AI models, reports the US agency Bloomberg. .
Avoid boring tasks
These statements are in line with a study by the US bank Goldman Sachs. In addition to the disappearance of 300 million jobs, the report pointed to a productivity gain that could generate a 7% increase in global GDP. Targeting administrative tasks or support functions, AI models could lighten the workload of employees.
According to him, although technology is changing rapidly, the transition for workers would be less painful for employees in the event of a slower adoption of these tools by companies. But in the United States the layoffs have already begun. One in two companies using ChatGPT have removed posts.
“It will take time for the impact to be real, and during this time, people will adapt,” warns Chris Pissarides. He recommends above all an increase in the skills of the employees to accompany the adjustments that ChatGPT will have in the way of working.
