There’s a stark contrast between employees and their managers according to a survey highlighted by the Wall Street Journal. Nearly 75 percent of executives say they love technology, making staff nervous and they could be replaced. Innovation Expert, Daniel Haritos, says a little skepticism doesn’t hurt anyone.
“I think it's good to be fearful and it’s good to question. Don’t be overly fearful." Haritos said.
Instead, he says arm yourself with knowledge.
“Understanding the product by using it a little bit is probably the best solution. He said.
He says by learning technology, you can explore the strengths and weaknesses and then present them to your employer. This could also turn into a new position or promotion at the workplace.
Haritos predicts it will take another 10 to 20 years before it’s a real issue.
“I think by that time, society will come up with other solutions on how to deal with staff cuts, and maybe even a shorter work week.” Haritos said.
Lawmakers can set workplace regulations protecting employees.
Make sure you’re prepared now, because A-I will improve.
