Artificial intelligence: what it is and why it matters.
In our last post, we covered the history and future of sales tools. Now we examine the newest tool in our digital toolbox: artificial intelligence.
Commonly known as AI, artificial intelligence refers to the development of computer systems designed to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making.
If it sounds revolutionary…that’s because it is. Previously fodder for science fiction, this new science fact is reshaping the way industries operate. Goodbye tedious manual processes and obscured information. Hello enhanced efficiency, improved insights, better informed decision-making, and opportunities for growth.
So with all of the upside, what could be the downside?
In a word: fear.
The bots are coming. But are they coming for our jobs?
With unfettered growth on the horizon, some see the rise of this technology as a kind of hostile takeover by AI. A recent survey revealed that 37% of Americans are worried about automation displacing them from their jobs. Although there is potential for both displacement from traditional jobs and the need for upskilling of the workforce, AI’s long-term impact on the workforce is positive. Automation will catalyze the creation of new job opportunities, as well as new revenue opportunities.
Just as the Star Wars franchise’s C3PO played a role in Luke Skywalker’s success, so too will AI–especially in the financial sector.
