Digital Transformation, AI, And The Productivity Problem
ComputerWorld, Thursday, July 6,2023
There's a lot of talk about generative AI could boost productivity at companies in the midst of digital transformation. But moving too fast could make things worse.
The age of generative AI comes with the promise that it will significantly increase productivity. I can certainly see the potential given I'm using a form of it writing this column and it is doing a decent job of anticipating the next word I intend to write. But I'm also noticing that to get the most from this feature, I need to hit the right arrow key, which slows me down considerably. So, I generally end up typing the entire word anyway because the keyboard I'm using doesn't lend itself to making autocomplete work.
