@Jordan Wilson : 我认为AI本应提高员工生产力并增加公司收入,但现实并非如此,这构成了AI生产力悖论。我创建播客和新闻邮件是为了帮助大家了解AI,并利用它来发展事业和公司。企业应该如何解决这个问题,确保员工在享受自由工作的同时,也能满足企业的期望? @Faisal Masud : 我认为AI生产力悖论源于疫情后工作模式的转变和企业对AI工具应用不足。企业应提高招聘标准,建立信任,并提高对员工的期望。企业还应关注员工体验,提供最佳的内部AI解决方案,而不是限制员工使用外部工具。管理者需要明确对员工的期望,鼓励他们利用AI提高效率,并不断提高标准。我认为“少即是多”的方法很有价值,通过工具包和能力来支持员工,让他们在不需要大量人手的情况下完成工作。
