The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of work is generating mixed reactions. On the one hand, there are those who perceive it as an opportunity to improve their effectiveness and productivity; on the other hand, there is the fear of a possible replacement of the human workforce.

AI: not replacement, but transformation

In the last two years, there has been a wave of layoffs often attributed to AI. However, AI does not entirely eliminate roles, but automates low-value-added tasks. IBM, for example, stated that over 7,000 back-office positions may no longer be needed, as AI is able to absorb that workload. Other companies in the technology sector, including Microsoft, Amazon and HP, have also taken similar paths.

For those considering on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to support these evaluations.

General context

Automation and AI are progressively transforming the job landscape. Many repetitive and standardized activities are being automated, freeing workers from burdensome tasks and allowing them to focus on more creative, strategic activities that require complex problem-solving skills. This change requires skills adaptation and continuous training to remain competitive in the labor market.
