Individually it feels like AI vastly improves efficiency (even for a layman like myself, ChatGPT has increased my work output significantly). I can only imagine on company-wide scales that this gain in efficiency would be meaningful in the long-term work output of a company.
To that end, which companies are most effectively integrating AI into their daily work/practice?
Our company just had a town hall meeting, and one of the questions to our CEO was, ‘How do you see our company incorporating AI to meet your directive? Will business units get access to CoPilot or ChatGPT?’
Our CEO’s response was, ‘With AI we just kind of need to “do it.” Like Nike says, “Just Do It.” So we need our people to just start making use of AI.’
This is how I imagine most companies are getting along with AI: CEOs that have no idea what it is or its good use cases. Moreover, they get sticker shock once the invoice shows up.
Launched a Google meeting today; pop-up asked if I want Gemini to take notes for me. Yep. Excellent, summarized meeting notes auto-attached to the calendar event. Love it.
AI is definitely having an impact. Senior electronics engineers using AI platforms realized it’ll likely replace their work. To the point, they told me they’d have reservations paying for their engineering degrees if they were younger.
Industrial tech stocks will be more efficient = fewer employees. That said, skilled jobs requiring certifications (like civil engineering) are probably safe for quite some time.
Samsara just recently introduced Samsara Intelligence, basically ChatGPT for fleet managers. You ask a question about your fleet and get answers based on their IOT data. It saves tons of time.
A lot of small and medium-sized businesses I know have already replaced most humans with AI. There are factories that only have robots and human maintenance crews. Robot workers are far more efficient than humans and can work 24/7.
If by AI you mean chatbots, then telemarketing and customer service outsourcing companies have very direct applications.
But honestly, this is like asking, ‘What companies are most effectively integrating the internet into their work?’ Chances are nobody would have said selling books (Amazon) was going to be the most profitable answer.
