AI Transforming Work Efficiency

This post was originally published in 2024. Some details may have changed since then.

AI won’t take your job. Someone using AI will.
So what will your job + AI look like?
Hours saved in:
→ Analysis - summarization
→ Ideation - more options
→ Creation - better output
More time for:
→ Strategic Decisions
→ Collaboration
→ Value adding tasks
Every industry….
Marketing + AI
Coding + AI
Analysis + AI
Legal Services + AI
Education + AI
…
It’s all happening. Working out what yours will look like is key to becoming efficient, creating better solutions & relevant.
I see it as massively positive and the next big evolution of productivity, value and problem solving.
