Artificial intelligence is SUPPOSED to come with some POSITIVES: So can it please cut down on all the nonsense busywork?
According to a report, American office workers estimate that 51% of their day goes to “busywork,” like reading and writing emails, data entry, searching for files, and pulling teeth to get the materials needed for your tasks.
There’s also: Calendars, meetings, reports, troubleshooting aging technology, and filling out forms, like timesheets and expense reports.
It isn’t just boring and annoying, 85% of workers say “repetitive tasks” trigger stress about four times per week, and are a top driver of burnout.
Unfortunately, meetings themselves probably won’t be eliminated by A.I., but there could be solutions to some of the other things on our wish-lists.
25% of us want better data management, and 19% want help dealing with emails. Another 18% say automated form-filling would help, and 17% want better ways to organize files. And it’s possible that A.I. could help with that.
