Transcript

Back in February, Harvard Business Review put out this article called AI doesn't reduce work, it intensifies it. They did an eight-month study inside of a US-based technology company that had about 200 employees. What they found was the tasks given expanded. Individuals across the organization attempted work they would have outsourced, deferred, or avoided entirely in the past. Essentially, the work that they used to do took a lot less time. So instead of using that newfound time to work less, they just stacked additional tasks on their plate, which is something that I know I do and probably most people that are into AI are also doing. AI also introduced a new rhythm in which workers manage several active threads at once. So people were multitasking more as a result of AI. This actually started to raise their expectations for speed. Not necessarily through explicit demands like their boss wasn't coming to them going, "Hey, we need more out of you." But through what became visible and normalized in everyday work. This is something that those of us that are immersed in AI all the time are definitely feeling.

Video description

Is AI making you work… more? Harvard Business Review did an 8-month study and found that as tasks took less time, people didn't work less, they just stacked more tasks on their plate. I did a deep dive into what the research and science ACTUALLY says about how AI is affecting our brains and productivity and shared it all in my latest video linked here.⁠ Let me know in the comments: Are you feeling the AI workload creep too? #AI #Productivity
