Do Tampa Bay Managers expect AI to replace you and not them? They may be in for a... Surprise! The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT has coincided with hiring challenges and an uncertain economy that's pushing companies to cut costs. Many managers are considering AI as a means of replacing employees, with about 66% of managers saying they would replace employees with AI tools if the work was comparable. 66%. Whew.That's a big number. While some industries, such as marketing and human resources, may be more vulnerable to automation, the impact of AI on the workforce will depend heavily on the industry and job function.

AI is attractive to Tampa area employers because it is comparatively cheap to install and maintain, and removes the headaches of dealing with employees, such as quiet quitting and daily complaints. The good news is AI is not yet advanced enough to replace most jobs that require critical thinking, judgment, and emotional intelligence. If you use those skills, you may get to work again next week.

Managers and workers can deal with AI concerns by acknowledging that AI is not yet advanced enough to replace most jobs. Instead of focusing on future uncertainty, we should should embrace the possibilities that AI brings, including efficiency and productivity. There is a warning, companies should be careful about using AI for HR functions because of potential legal issues. TBBJ
