The Impact of AI Today: From Jobs to Humanizing Technology
January 14, 2025 | by Matos AI
In today’s AI Bulletin, we have a series of events that reveal a scenario of profound transformations in several sectors. As someone who has followed the waves of technological innovation for more than two decades, I can say that we are witnessing a unique moment in the history of digital transformation.
Let's go to the main highlights:
Impact on the Labor Market
THE Bloomberg Intelligence reveals that around 200,000 banking jobs could be cut in the coming years due to AI automation. This is a number that cannot be ignored and reflects a reality that I have been observing in my experience with digital transformation: the urgent need for professional retraining.
On the other hand, a recent study shows that professionals with knowledge in AI have a better chance of being promoted. This is a trend that I have been highlighting for years in my lectures: the importance of keeping up to date with new technologies.
Advances in Health
In the health sector, the news is encouraging. Incor developed an application that uses AI to identify cardiac arrhythmias early. In the US, a new AI tool is helping hospitals deal with insurance denials.
Humanization of Technology
One particularly interesting aspect is how AI is being used to make services more human. The United Kingdom announced the implementation of AI to humanize public services, while a creative initiative uses a “virtual grandmother” to combat telephone scams.
Transformations in the Digital Market
In the digital universe, experts point out that generic influencers will be replaced by AI, highlighting a fundamental shift in the creator economy.
Reflections and Considerations
In over two decades working with innovation and startups, I have learned that moments of great technological transformation require special attention to training and adaptation. It is essential that companies and professionals prepare themselves adequately for this new reality.
For companies, I suggest three immediate actions:
- Invest in AI training for employees
- Evaluate processes that can be optimized with AI
- Develop responsible technological transition strategies
If your company needs support to navigate this transformation or if you are looking to better prepare for this new scenario, I can help with specialized consulting on AI and innovation strategies. Get in touch to talk about how we can work together on this transformation journey.
